I'm sure someone has already asked this, but I couldn't find a relevant thread through search. At least, not in the first 8 pages or so. Anyway; is there any turbo manifold available for a naturally aspirated 13B? Does such a contraption even exist, or am I wasting my time looking and considering a turbo? Thanks for you help!

 

why would you want a non turbo 13b? anyway, have a custom manifold made

 

Peter, I think he wants to turbocharge his N/A. There are many many threads on this subject. Most people just use the stock TII manifold and turbo.

 

BlueTII is correct, I am interested in turbo charging my N/A. Sorry for the confusion. The stock TII manifold will work on the N/A engine? I was under the impression they were incompatible.

 

i had some tell me that u cant turbo a non turbo rx7 cause the apex seals cant handle it

 

NO, it doesn't fit. The engine flange is the correct dimensions (exhaust port and stud patten same), but the entire turbo asembly needs to be spaced out because it hits the lower intake manifold. Post this, or search the 2nd gen forum section, as this been talked about NUMEROUS times. Theres even a sticky thread with detailed instuctions I believe.


Your buddies are idiots, apex'es are the same from N/A and turbo from the factory. Its other issues that need attention when turboing an N/A (such as fuel and timing)
