I know this has proberly been covered a million times but i cant find a straight answer anywere.....
I have a 88 rx7 turboII and i over heated the engine(i know watch my temp gauge better...) any way i cant afford to have it rebuild right now but i plan on having it done at some point but for now i found a non turbo motor (that runs for $190) can i just use the block and bolt all my stuff on the outside like my exaust manifold and turbo and just not wind the boost up verry much? would that work? i dont see any reason why not besides the non turbo engine isnt as strong......
Thank you chris

the lim needs to be modified.

 

Whats a lim? so the block is different i cant just bolt every thing on?

 

Thanks man that site seems to have everything

Most people that turbo a non turbo make their own kits:
