Someone Please help!

Iv had my car for right about a year now and it has never been out of the garage. I wanted to go single and we all know what a chore that can be to get everything right. Iv been through 3 mechanics that have taken deposits and then bailed because I think they had no idea what they were in for. Here is what I am asking. Can someone tell me where to get an oil line kit for a t3/4 that will bolt to the block? Is there such a thing? Iv been all over town trying to find something that will work and to no avail. The next problem, Injectors. Are these for sale anywhere? I know I need 1300 cc secondaries but it seems like these too are about impossible to attain. I really appreciate all the help I have received here and any help with this matter, and to get another 7 back on the road, is greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Chris

Alright, thanks to Jason and the rx7 store I have all the above covered... Now, I have 2 turbos that I have purchased throughout the building process.

First garrett Internals:
Compressor: T4
61mm / 56 trim wheel
4" Inlet / 2.5" Outlet

Turbine: T3
.82 A/R
T3 inlet flange
3" VBAND exhaust outlet

Second is a Garrett reman *
T04 50 trim "AIRESEARCH" Compressor, 0.50 a/r
*
center section: Dynamic seal, oil cooled, Hi precision balanced
*
T3 turbine, 72 trim wheel 0.48 a/r housing,


Now, which one do I keep and use and which do I throw on ebay? Or do they both suck and I need to junk them both? I was new to all this when I bought both and obviously I still dont know. Thanks again.

Honestly, neither of those hotsides are anything you should be putting on a rotary, they are jsut too restrictive if you are married to those two, then I would say keep the first, sell the second, but in all reality you should sell both of them, and get something with either a t-4 footprint on the exhaust, or if you like the t3, then get one of the newer turbines like the gt35r... it has a t3 footprint but has a humongous wheel to help alleviate the back pressure caused by the smaller t3 housing.

well he could always keep the first and sell the second. with the money he got from the sold turbo he can get a t4 hotside for the first turbo if it's a ptrim wheel correct?
