noob queston. engine instal
so i recently had a black mazda mx6 m-edition v6. i dont have it anymore cuz a friend of mine decided to drink and run right into me. totoling my car. i know just about ever little piece of that car. i have had 3 of them.
i feel like its time to move on to something else. and i am choosing the 2nd gen rx7.
now my idea was to buy an N/A 89 rx7 for dirt cheap and then buy a stock turbo 2 motor for it. i think thats the 13b? i have no knowledge of this car other then its a mazda rwd and has great looks.
so can someone tell me or lead me to a theard letting me know just how hard it is to put a turbo engine into an n/a shell or even a turbo 2 shell. is there much difference or no? thanks.
also can someone lead me to a thread explaining what rotory power is.
thanks for your time. have a good day.

You must, absolutely MUST, read the FAQ. For example, here is part of the turbo swapping section from the FAQ:
Can I swap a Turbo engine/Jspec engine/13BT/etc into my Non Turbo?
Yes, check these links:

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:
