Fromt he FAQ Thread in the 2nd gen Forum.

How do I add a turbo to my NA 13B?
What Turbo kits can I add onto my non turbo RX-7?

There are no longer kits formally made at the time of this post, however there are companies from time to time that do make available non turbo to Turbo Kits. Because most of these companies stop building the kits, or go out of business in short time, it is impossible to keep active links for them.

Most people that turbo a non turbo make their own kits:
Using the stock TII turbo, exhaust manifold with spacer, NA intakes and NA ECU:

Hey, welcome to the forum. Glad to see another NC person. Doing a TII swap isn't that bad. You might luck up on an import engine, but don't hold your breath. If you do decide to go that route, I would suggest rebuilding it before trying to get it running.

I found a site with engines, the site is............... "http://www.bestofjdm.com/JDM-ENGINE-13B-TURBO-86-91-p/jdmmazda3.htm .................." do you think that this site is any good? What would I have to buy if I do this engine swap? Do I have to change my exhaust pipes from 2.5"--to 3"? any advice will help me out alot!
