turbo idea ?
ok so i was told i could get a turbo 2 manifold and a turbo and put it on my 88 none turbo and run 5 psi without damage and without upgrading the fuel ? is this true and is it worth it ?
im talking about using the turbo 2 manifold and turbo and a front mount inner cooler with a pressure switch to make sure i do not go over 5psi.
will this work ?

You will most definitely need to upgrade the injectors and run a different fuel map.
You can't just bolt it on and expect it to work.
There's also the need for an oil feed and drain and a few coolant lines.
And how will a pressure switch make sure you don't go over 5 PSI? Turbo is not electric. It's mechanical... You'll need a mechanical boost controller that connects to the waste gate.

Why even bother? 5 PSI makes about 170-180 HP.
But you are aware that you can't just bolt the turbo on, right? It won't clear the NA intake manifold. There are various ways to solve this.

Copied and pasted directly from the FAQ:
Can I swap a Turbo engine/Jspec engine/13BT/etc into my Non Turbo?
Yes, check these links:
https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...threadid=26647
http://www.rotaryresurrection.com/ro...conversion.htm
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:
