how do i know if my car is ready for a turbo

 

Based on your other topics ( https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showthread.php?t=815683 ) I'd say that your car needs to run before you ever consider turbocharging it.

You may be under the impression that you can just go out and buy a turbo kit for the non-turbo RX-7 from a vendor. This is not correct. There are no turbo kits available yet. There will be one soon, but not for at least 6 months.

See the 2nd gen FAQ for turbo options including fabbing up your own turbo setup, or taking the common approach of a TII swap.

 

How do you know... Well what cond. is the engine?

You will need a turbo kit

Fuel pump

Standalone EM

Gauges (Boost, EGT, Fuel press Oil press Wideband)

Different rims/tires to deal with the extra HP

Fuel Rails, and new injectors and FR

and well, possibly a new engine if its not is great working cond. (get a compression test)

 

I boosted my 6 port na before i had a t2 motor built. it was mainly just for ***** and giggles, i wleded on and ported a t2 lower intake manifold, used an s5 turbo, jdm intercooler, gsl se secondaries, t2 ecu, map, and afm. somehow it ran for 3 years after being turbo.

 

apex seals should be an obvious place to first check.
