Well i've become a rx7 collector lately finding deals left and right. I have now owned a 88 vert and sold off after i got what i needed just a parts car and my 89 vert that is almost complete for a good show car and summer car. Well I just got a great deal another 89 gxl for the great price of my extra set of bbs vert wheels and 200 needs a rebuild and some other pieces i have laying around.

This one im building for speed and a good amount of track time. Drag and Drift. I already know about what im doing with the body and suspension and all that stuff.

But im going to have to rebuild the motor and since i know how they work and have time not really in a rush and have my own personal shop to work out of i can take my time. so i am going to do it myself. But since its a gxl platform i was wondering if i'd be able to drop in s5 turbo 2 rotors to bring the compression down and then build the turbo kit after. Or if i would have to use different housing to match the turbo 2 rotors. Also would i need a turbo 2 e shaft so id have the whole assembly and then use the n/a housing would that work?

And as for porting i wanna be in the range of 450-550rwhp so i was thinking of just a semi bridge or something along those lines maybe just a large streetport.

and lastly what about the 6 port motor would i need to change to make it a turbo and still have the power i want will i have to remove the 6 port acuators and emissions in order to have room for the turbo and everything.

I searched for a little and im sure its been covered i dont post much reading most of the time with limited post works for me but i really couldnt find anything about making the s5 6 port n/a into a turbo motor and still run higher boost numbers into the mid and high teens like around 15-18psi.

Thanks in advance

now i'm not an fc owner and don't know a WHOLE lot about turboed engines so i could be completely wrong on this. the non turbo engine is 6 port, the turbo engine is 4 port. u could put the lower comp rotors in the 6 port engine but i think the it would be better to just drop in/build a T2 engine. they may handle boost better and probably produce more power than a 6 port with T2 rotors would anyway.

That's my main problem too is that I don't know if I can just block off the 6th port part and remove the acuators therefore kind of turning it into a 4 port. Or I might just do a really intense all n/a build but I would be able to achieve the hp goals I want.

Simplest way is to do the full TII swap with a rebuild. There are plenty of links in the 2nd gen FAQs to get you started. Aaron Cake has a thread somewhere on turbocharging the NA engines. Blocking off the Aux ports isn't an option as it would restrict/reduce air flow too much.

Yeah i kow the simpilest way but getting a car as parts and motor and trans for 200 and dont want to buy another engine... but ok il see what aaron has done and go from there. any other ways or info they wanna share all is good.
