What carbie to run

Im trying to make a list of parts i need to build my rx7, im wanting to run a turbocharger and Bridgeport, what carb work do i need to do to get more fuel in along with the extra air going in from the BP and turbo? Also should i keep running 10w40 dinosaur oil or should i switch to a thicker or thinner oil? Goopy or cryosealed apex seals etc? Havent decided on what turbo to run yet. I was wanting to be around 300 hp for now any advice would be very helpful

Turbos and bridgeports are not a great combo on the street. Much less with a N/A block, using a distributer for timing and a carb. All a recipe for a cooked engine. IMO if 300 hp is all you are after in a street car a street port or even a stock port 13b turbo swap would do. If you want the brappy idle do like I did and get a turbo block and N/A rotors and build a solid 210 to 250 hp N/A engine. As for carbs the holley kit from racing beat has its problems but I like mine the webber carb is really the move.

that car would be nice all fixed up, Daytona Blue is a really good color.

for only 300hp do a turbo OR a bridgeport, a BP by itself will be 260-280, and if you add the turbo its closer to 450-500. or 300hp from a turbo engine is not that hard on a stock port..

if i had that car, and didn't need to smog it (i am in CA), i would do a small bridgeport, and probably mod a stock carb, and have a really fun, simple car.
