N/A - turbo engine swap

well u may notice that this is my first post bet ive been a member now for about 7 months. ive been lurking around the threads looking up on the fd3s reliabilty, power, mods, problems ect.... but i tried searching for n/a to turbo motor swap and couldn't find any thing as specific. i have a 1993 fd 5speed wanting to go turbo with a motor swap and was wondering what i would need to change ECU motor mounts ect... if you could find me the link of the thread that would tell about it that would be great also thanks

If you have a 1993 rx7 it is twin turbocharged from the factory. So unless you removed the turbos, no swap is needed. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question.

I don't think anyone in their right mind would actually remove the turbos and not replace them. Do you know where to look for them?
Hmmm, are you sure you have a FD? Like this:

1.) you might have an FC
2.) you dont know what you are looking at
3.) thats the reason your FD was $4000
4.) your cams are blocking the view of the turbos =)

Seriously... look behind where your intake box is... follow the pipes, it leads to 2 turbos (if yours is stock).
