What Parts do I need to buy to turn a N/A into a T2???

Okay. 1990 GXL N/A Engine. Gunna rebuild it myself. After rebuilding it, what parts do I need to buy and replace on it to basically for the most part turn it into a Turbo2 engine? I'm thinking like the Turbo and Turbo exhaust manifold, and Intercooler, but what else?

I hate to say this and I'm not being rude as some people would have you believe but do a search. There is much information on that question. But in nut shell, buy a TII to start with. You have everything already there. Engine, turbo, trans and rear end. You could probably get a wrecked high milage one for less than $1000. Rebuild the engine and trans(if it needs it) swap into your car on a weekend. Simple, right?

I did a search, but all I came up with wiere posts on putting a T2 engine in a N/A RX-7. I want to convert my rebuilt N/A into a Turbo Engine. I've got about $1800 to work with here. I wish I could find a wreck Turbo2 in my area for less than $1000. I'm in Dallas, Texas. You know of any around here? I'll pay $1100 cash for one and I'll come and pick the whole thing up.

MaCaBrE - I guess wrecked RX-7's in alabama sell for less. I bought my project TII(which is no longer a TII) for $700 and it wasn't wrecked. It had a bad wiring harness that was beyond repair. Good luck with your car.
