Talking turbo removal

Hi everybody i am form canada and i have a 93 jdm rx7. Its been a while since i read the post on the forum and i wanted to do some little modification on the motor.
I wanted to know how much time it would take me to remove the turbo??? I want to go non sequential because ive start drifthing and i want to simplify the motor. My car has no rust and its been very easy to get the bolt out for now.

Can somebody tell me more and i dont want to get all the motor out...THX

Well, I don't know much about non-sequential but I do know where you can read and learn about it. Start in the 3rd gen FAQ thread here:
https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/faq-3rd-gen-other-useful-links-68640/
and scroll down to the N section for Non-Sequential.

The first time removing the stock turbos, it will take probably about 4 hours if you've never worked on these cars before.

JDM cars did not have the EGR nor did it have the AWS if I understand what you are referring to.

Some will say yes, some will say no. The heat shields keep the heat from the turbos radiating into the rest of your engine bay. They also cook the cast iron manifold. Pick which is more important to you. I personally don't run them, but I don't necessarily suggest it to others.

You just need to make an informed decision for your car.
