I'm new to the rotary scene as well as the whole swapping and stuff and I just wanted to ask some questions. Before I ask, I was thinking of buying a 1990 Mazda Rx7 S5 NA shell and swapping in a Turbo II engine (not by myself of course). Now my question is, will this be a hard process? What do I need to be aware of when doing this? Also are there any type of spec sheets specifying the correct amount of torque to be applied etc.? Also what will I need to know/do in order to keep my Rx7 running for a long period of time? Since I hear that in order to be an Rx7 owner, lots of time and dedication needs to take place for the Rx7. I ask since of course I'm a beginner at this but I also want to go through this and hopefully be successful at it. There's probably already answers to my questions on other forums but if I just wanted to ask them in a new thread so please to get mad If there are links you think I should be looking at, then please post.

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:

The Factory Service Manual can be found in the FAQ For FC thread. It contains all this information and more, and is an essential tool for any sort of service work that needs to be performed on these cars.

Additionally, the Haynes service manual for the 1986 thru 1991 RX-7 (both turbo and NA) can be found at most local auto parts stores or purchased from any good bookstore (ISBN number 1 56392 007 7). It is only about $25 and is a great quick reference for things like this. Not only does it contain most of the information in the FSM condensed into an easy to read format, but it includes full wiring diagrams as well.

These manuals will answer 99% of service related questions for the car and if you intend to do your own repair work, you will need at least one of them. Preferably both, since the FSM is a free download.

The link in my sig has also been added to the 2nd gen FAQ (https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-gen-archive-72/s4-na-turbo-swap-details-813825/). The OP and I covered both S4 and S5 TII swaps in it.

I've deleted the duplicate post you made on this topic. Please read the information we have provided, because it covers step by step the procedure of doing a TII swap on an NA.
