Hey guys... I have an 87TII rebuild ported by Atkins Rotary. My turbo is giving me a little trouble, i think an oil seal is gone or something. Anyways, I was wondering if i was to do a turbo swap, what would be a good car to get a turbo from?

Thanks

Aaron

 

an 89+ RX-7 TII.

hehe, better say 89-91. I can just see him trying to fit some twins on there

 

No twins eh??? Dammit....

I was thinking... what OTHER cars.... volvo... porche... VW....etc... I'm not having the best of luck finding any rx7 turbos in salvage yards.

nothing else will fit unless you want to make a custom manifold. but then you'll also need new oil and water lines, and a custom down pipe... check out the for sale section or ebay. I see turbos all the time.

oh and if you get the 89-91 turbo you need the exhaust manifold as well to make it fit. it's a good upgrade from the 87-88 turbo.

 

yeah go with the 89 up turbo. youll still need a different manifold, the 89 manifold is different than the 87, but its a straight swap. using a turbine from another manufacturer is a lot of trouble.

 

Thats cool... how hard do you think it would be for me to put the exhaust manifold on myself?
