You can't just bolt a turbo on it and be done. There are a ton of other things to address: intake manifold, oil supply, fuel injectors, fuel pump, stand-alone engine management, intercooler, driveline, etc...Besides, 9.7:1 compression ratio turbo motors tend to be very hard to get right.

There's an active post on this in another section: https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...55#post8747755

If you have the mechanical know-how, you can swap in a turbo engine and run it on your NA wiring.

^^^ I think you're on the right track. FC prices are low enough that you're going to save money/

Just see the FAQ. There is a load of info on both doing the TII conversion and turbocharging the NA.

The TII conversion is a much easier place to start as it's all bolt on.
