now... take this how you want but i feel justified in saying this because i have had my na for 5 years now... but seriously consider stayin na for a while so you can learn the engine.. and read alot before you swap. just sayin that because you said you dont really know a whole lot at this point about these cars. if you go tII now without knowing youre gonna be in for a wild ride...

I wouldn't be doing the swap myself, i've got a guy down here in wyoming who knows quite a bit about the rotary and all that jazz. and owns like a 700+ hp supra.. 7m.. the one no one seems to be able to keep from blowing up. but yea, he says doing a turbo rotary would just be tons of fun. so as long as he's in for the ride i am too =P

for sites and such does anyone have any experience dealing with www.tigerjapanese.com? found tII with tranny and everything for like.. 890.. but not sure if i should trust their stuff.

oh i didnt think you would do the swap yourself. i just meant in general its a whole diff. beast. no doubt it would be fun but youre gonna have alot more things to worry about after you go turbo. if you have a guy that really knows his **** and doesnt mind helpin you out.. ( and probably alot.. no offense.. cause im no genius either) then go for it... .and please dear God dont go through tigerjapanese... stophie has a horror story about them.

Ya for sure a BBQ would be a good idea sometime this summer. I bet Kyle can make you up some mean Type R burgers with some VTEC sauce. Let us know when a good time would be and we can try to get something arranged. All Must Attend! That means you Sean ha ha you mysterous man you. But anyways let us know when a good time would be.
