I was wondering, are there any advantages or disadvantages to a turboed 6 port? Besides the cost of actually doing it, I mean if you had a choice between a properly turboed 6 port and a stock TII which would be better of worse and why? is there any inherent problems in either and which is easier to maintain? I am just asking this because I am looking into buying one and I have a choice of a turboed 6 port and I want to know if there is anything really bad, or good I should know about it.

 

you get higher compression with a turbo 6 port whic hcan be good and bad too much boost and rebuild city but keep the pressure down it is a decently powerful setup

 

Okay, I'm not one to pull the "search, n00b" card these days, but SEARCH, N00B. If you're going to post questions that've been asked so many times, post them in the new member question section. If you'd posted this there, you wouldn't have gotten a negative response from me.
The short answer is that you should look at Aaron Cake's website; he's got one of the cleanest and mostpoweful 6-port turbos around.

I searched a little bit, but to be honest after I asked. I didn't find a very definitive answer, or anyone asking the question before though. I did see that his car was 6 port though, I was more asking for technical information or experiences than anything since I may be about to buy one, and idk if I can find that just searching, thanks anyways though.

Mostly I just see people saying not to do it since it costs a lot and you can swap in a TII easier, but it's already done so I was just wondering if there is anything really bad I should look for about it.

 

Advantages:
-lots of fun fabricating the stuff to do it
-will make more power on equivalent boost
-6 port plates are like massively ported 4 port plates
-if you have a fresh NA rebuild, it may be a better choice then swapping in an unknown TII engine
-unique

Disadvantages:
-have to fabricate all the stuff to do it
-if you lose the aux actuators, there will be a loss in low end torque
-easier to blow up if you don't know how to tune
-potentially more expensive
-unique

I suggest you stay away from some someone else's turbo 6 port project and just stick with the standard TII swap.

Please translate this to English and repost it. Thanks.

 

Thanks for all the info, I really just wanted to know what to expect so there was no surprises. I am actually thinking about buying it because it sounds interesting, I really wanted something kind of unique which was one of the things that drew me to RX-7s originally they are more uncommon than most other sports cars around the same age.

Is there anything in particular that I should pay attention to or keep in mind as I look at it, as far as I know it runs pretty well.
