To swap a 13B T into a 86 NA? You can get them for $650 with tranny from Osaka. What would the gains be? What all would be needed for it? I have searched a few times but see alot on the 13Btt. I can get a 86 GXL for $1500. And if it doesnt take much to install the turbo motor then i was thinkin of goin that route. I know pretty much nothing about rotarys. I used to have a DSM. Any help would be greatly helpfull.

 

To swap a 13BT into an NA you need the following off of a turbo II:

- TII harness/ECU
- Transmission
- Driveshaft
- Rear Differential
- Hubs/Brakes

If i'm forgetting anything, I'm sure someone will fill the rest in....

 

is there a easier/cheaper way of boosting the 86?

 

nope, some have Sc theres, others just add nitrous, the rest build all motor, or do some crappy piston engine swap...

 

you can keep the rear end and get a custom/mazdatrix driveshaft

 

Sorry to be ****, and i'm suprised no one has mentioned this yet, but you aren't doing a thorough enough search.. This is a very common question asked on the forum, and has been answered many many many times... i can't stress "many times" enough.

Keep searching, you will find several articles on this topic.

i spent like 6hrs last night "trying" to find stuff. All i found was a few that talked about the 13Btt. That sucks though that you cant turbo a 7 for less then that. They look damn good.

 

Like the third thread on this forum

I can understand turbocharging a car where they never made a turbo counterpart but Mazda did make one. I turbocharged a RX7 convertible 8 years ago because because we never got turbo convertibles. I bought a wrecked TurboII and switched it all over into the ragtop.

Making a non turbo hardtop into a turbo makes no sense. Take the money and effort it would take to do a correct conversion and just buy a TurboII.
