do the project with the rx3 much more room and you will save alot of money becuse u wont have to fabricate to many things.i did the 13b-re swap into my r100 and it is a pain in the butt..with the rx3 u wont need to many things

I belive 300hp is more then enough for a street t2 car, that is old school.
I have a buddy that is pushing 315hp at 12psi of boost I belive. It brings his front end up a little bit.

rx-3 Turbo

Matt,

I am in the same boat you're in. I do have a 77 SP and I do have a twin-turbo (94TT ported w/aluminum flywheel and moroso aluminum oil pam). It fits perfectly. Is is not turbo yet as I am also looking at which turbo manifold ect will fit. It is currently running with a j-tech intake and 750 carburator. Not exactly what I want but I can move it in and out of the garage. I do have the fuel injected intake and this is where I also have quations. Whether to piece meal it with ordering a turbonetics turbo and have some one fabricate a turbo manifold and go from there or order a complete 94 RX7 TT kit from XS engineering. Of course you will always have to order intercooler, bigger jets, fuel pump, computer, etc. So far I have not found a how to do it book.

You are pretty much on your own here. Good luck. I should make a decision as to which turbo I order within the next few weeks. I'll let you know how my project goes.

Good Luck!

Thanks, but i am still after the website that gives in detail step by step instructions on how to fit the 13b turbo into the rx3 engine bay. it tells you what you need and any fabrication (i.e cutting of panels, cross member) that needs to be done.
