1989 FC GTU N/A to Single turbo

Hi guys I’m new to the rx7 community and just recently bought my FC last year. I really want to convert my NA to a single turbo, i know that a lot of you will probably say to just go get a turbo II but i want my car to be different and so please support my decision. I want to hit at least 300hp

To each there own. I'm not so sure I'd want to own a naturally aspirated rotary. That said, there are a lot of helpful links to be found in just the new member section under this thread: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generati...7/#post5131155

Lots of resources under that link to help get you started with transforming your N/A rotary to a turbocharged rotary.

What are your goals with this car? What will it's function/purpose be?

Welcome to the board.

Well, the reason people might tell you to get a T2 is because that's essentially what you're turning the car into - just in piecemeal. Just something to consider. At any rate, you already have the NA car, so it's moot point.

Febreze Mee already linked the FAQs, so the only thing I can add to that is no matter what path you choose, just try to use caution and common sense. Make sure your cooling is up to snuff (oil, water and charge air), dedicate resources to the engine management and be sure to choose the right turbo and wastegate setup.
