My fc needs a turbo!
What's up everybody. I just recently purchased a pretty clean white 91 fc. The owner before me blew the engine so I replaced the engine, transmission, and rear end from a turbo ii. It didn't have the turbo or anything with it, so my question is, What is the best, affordable turbo kit I can put in? My new upgrades only have 46k miles.
Thanks for all suggestions and info.

Use the stock turbo and just get it rebuilt, you could get it staged up with bnr upgrade which are good up to around 350+ whp at around 16-18psi (stock is 6.5psi on s5 and efficiently handles up to 12psi , 250whp or so) upgrading your turbo means upgrading your entire fuel system, exhaust, aftermarket ecu, and intercooler, as well as having a proper tune etc
If done wrong it could be a ticking time bomb, best to make small steps instead of giant leaps IMO.

I'm running the stock 91 na ecu. I honestly don't want to drive it until its boosted so tours why I want to get it asap. I'm ordering 17" ssr ms1r and a carbon creations body kit so I want to be in the road soon

I would definitely mess with the ECU. If you look through the FAQS about 2nd gen Rx7's in this section of the forum, you can easily find what to do to the stock ECU to make it work with the turbo system. Be ready to spend a bit of money if you plan on upgrading the turbo and such. Porting is always an option for more power
