Is the front and rear stock rx7 turbos different, one smaller or bigger than the other as i replaced turbos and got them mixed up.

 

Awarded Most Descriptive Thread Title of the Month October 2015.

 

there is a reason they are called " TWIN " turbos , they are the same exact SIZE , but completely different as they are backwards you cant mix them up

 

Exactly what I was thinking...

fd rx7 !!

Yea, would be hard to mix them up or mount them backwards.

 

So I can mount a front turbo in the rear turbo spot, or the other way around.

 

are you a troll?

 

Same. You could switch the internals but the housings always distort from heat. This is why rebuilt twins always fail relatively quickly. If you have an issue with the turbos find a good used set or upgrade to BNRs. Trying to fix the twins is a waste of time.

 

OK thanks IR

 

That's a pretty stupid question, I have more posts than you and a trader score.

I realize the post was missed categorized, its not a big deal!!

 

they're both Hitachi 15s

 

Thanks Rotary evolution

 

Post count or a trader score have nothing to do with being a troll...

In truth I don't think you're a troll, I just think you're terrible at communicating your questions, you neglect/fail to do research BEFORE asking your questions, and you're rather wishy-washy when it comes to making decisions about buying/selling something.


Trolls, on the other hand, tend to be more intelligent, and they just PLAY stupid to get people pissed off/spooled up for their own entertainment.

 

Ricardo, this is what I thought was happening here. My mistake, I meant no disrespect. And I agree, # of posts has nothing to do with anything. Some of us just choose only to comment sparsely on things.

 

If you choose to title a thread "FD RX7" then how does that title in any way correspond to the subject of mixing up turbochargers....???

It matters that you title threads appropriately because people search for information. Both now and in 10 years time.
A guy may be looking for info about the turbo sizes, but this thread may not come up in results if its not titled correctly. Its called using the correct metadata.

If I make a new thread titled "Goats are in my toilet" and then the subject of the thread is actually about what sparkplugs to run in my rotary engine.... Well that's no better than what you did here. I'm no moderator but it bothers me when people aren't succinct.
