Not gonna copy and paste the whole thing. Click on the link.
When people refer to a turbo conversion on a 2nd gen RX-7,
it could mean one of 3 things:
2) Take all the stock engine parts out of a turbo II to put into your car,
just the engine itself and all the electronics that are required to operate
it in stock form, not the turbo drivetrain (for instance if you cannot find
one). This would retain your nonturbo drivetrain. This is not highly
recommended, but can be done successfully depending on the driver. To do
this you would need, at very minimum, an upgraded clutch and pressureplate
to avoid major slippage of the clutch under boost. You just bolt an NA
flywheel onto your new t2 engine and everything bolts together just like it
did. Below is a parts list that is the basic minimum for doing this type of
swap, along with basic instructions.
3)Take all the stock parts out of a turbo II to put into your car,
everything from front to back including the drivetrain. This is considered
the "proper" way to do the conversion, and will result in the longest
lasting choice. Below is a parts list along with basic instructions for
this swap.
