Want A Turbo Helppppppp

Ok i have a 1991 RX7 n/a with 70,000 miles. I want a turbo. Would there be any way to put a turbo II turbo on my car? or would it just be cheaper to drop a whole new turbo engine in it.

yo, you just posted this exact same topic a few days ago. If you cant afford to drop a new engine than you cant afford the conversion. Sell the S5 and get a 87-88 turbo II

Dude its cheaper and way easier to sell the N/A and buy a TII. You would basically have to replace everything down to the frame. No joke.

Yes, there is a way to do it. No, you don't have to change everything. But it still isn't exactly an easy thing to do. Search for posts by Aaron Cake, VtekEater or ProjectDerek . They contain a good bit of info on the subject.
