would this be safe to do
would this be safe to do. put a turbo kit on a stock n/a (88). it has the following Hitachi recent REBUILD turbo (about 2000 miles on it)
turbo exhaust manifold (from stock TII)
Custom exhaust Addapter (that makes N/A posible to be turbo)
Vortec FMU 10:1
all nessesary gas lines
AutoMeter Ultra-Light boost gauge
all nessesary vacum lines
all the exhaust gaskets
Down pipe with O2 sensore molded in (screws right out)
Custom Oil adapter with all nessesary oil lines
Custom Oil return line
All nessesary clamps
Boost pipe with crushed 1g eclipse BOV on it (very loud)
all nuts and bolts that are needed

You will need to add bigger injectors, a boost controller, and a fuel controller(HKS f-con automatically detects fuel needs and adds fuel according to boost levels) .
As far as strengthening the drivetrain you dont need to do anything, with stock engine and turbo components you are only going to see about a 40-45 hp increase, which is no reason to go out and swap a rear end, driveshaft, tranny, and clutch.
the stock 88 rx7 n/a=142 HP
stock 88 TII=188hp
and those are just flywheel numbers, with higher compression you will be making more HP(yes its still safe, just dont go over 12 psi of boost) and since you are going to have to add boost and fuel control you will have no problem controlling that.
My carbureted N/A drivetrain handles upward of 225hp without breaking a sweat

Also forgot to mention that Kabooki has done a T2 swap into an NA and is using all stock N/A drivetrain(clutch, counterweight, tranny, driveshaft, and rearend). Seriously think about it, you are only talking about 40-50 extra horses at most with a stock Turbo motor.

There are other perhaps cheaper ways to do this. I have a TO4b turbo on my stock drivetrain. I do have 3mm apex seals but this was more insurance then required. I have installed turbo II injectors and a Fuel Pressure Regulator in the return fuel line. With the additional fuel pump what the FPR does is as the boost increases it cuts of the return to the fuel tank thus increasing the fuel pressure and therefore injects more fuel to the engine. The origins of my setup were from a kit but it has pretty much been totally rebuilt. No computers to buy.
