turboing a n\a motor

where do i get the oil from the engine to supply the turbo? the cooling lines are no problem but where to get the oil from?? and maybe the return. but if all fails i can tap the oil pan for the return return.

maybe replacing the NA oil pan with a T2 oil pan would work. I never had any intentions of turboing my N/A so i can't get a straight answer.

If you actully do this I recomend disassembling your engine than drilling holes to avoid any metal files going in critical areas of the engines internals.





Remember, this is just a suggestion. Work at your owne risk.

good recommendation, but also a rather expensive one at that, cheapest seal kit that i have ever found for a 13b was like right under $300 shipped, nothing like a 12a cause felpro makes a seal kit for the 12a for like $130, dont know if i would use felpro for a rotary considering they didnt continue making gasket kits for the 13b,13bt, 13b-rew, etc. and so on.....

SCing a n/a rx7has been proven and covered over and over that it doesn't work and the gains are a waste of money. Turboing an n/a needs some fab work and knowing what your doing to make it cheaper than it would be to buy a T2 motor and swap it in.

Dont forget to cut out the baffle in the exhaust port and perminently keep the 6 port barrels open. You can have some fun doing this but dont expect alot of miles out of it. I haven't had much luck over 4 lbs as a dailly driver but it can be done for s short perriod of time. If you can come across a set of S4 turbo roters stick them in there and you can do basicly what ever you want but it still wont run as good as the 4 port irons.
