new guy...lots of questions

hey guys
Always been a Honda guy but im switching.

Having trouble locating a turbo 2 rx7 so i was wondering if i can get a turbo kit from a turbo 2 will it bolt up to an NA version(such as manifold and what not. What is involved in a swap to put a turbo 2 in the na edition(besides the turbo kit). where would i go about finding a turbo kit for an NA rx7. thanks

Copied directly from the FAQ:


Can I swap a Turbo engine/Jspec engine/13BT/etc into my Non Turbo?
Yes, check these links:

http://www.rotaryresurrection.com/ro...conversion.htm

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:

Aaron,

Do you know of anyone that will modify the harness for me?? The mechanical stuff is a breeze, but the electronics I am just starting to get involved in and I REALLY dont want to mess this up. Im sure I can figure it out, but the last thing I want to do is MESS it up. I have had 4 FC's now and about to by my 5th as a vert. I want to get the turbo drivetrain in and once its running well, upgrade to BNR stage 4.... Thats probably a littl emore info than you need, but I figure if you know my plans you may know how to help me a little better. Thanks a lot for the help

Chris

Your car is partly wired for a turbo car. I noticed this when I wired my sbc in my fc chassis. I had a lot of turbo wiring to sort thru allthough mine was originally na
