Well I guess I will respond to my own post since nobody else will. It would be very simple to put a turbo 2 engine in your seven if you could buy a gslse wiring harness modified with a turbo 2 harness then you could run stock computer & ignition. So for only around a $1000 bucks($800 motor $200 odd ball crap) you could have a turbo2 1st gen swap. Which isnt bad considering a streetport 13B four port with light weight & high-compression rotors would run around $3000 grand and that only if you provide the engine to be rebuilt.rtyPWR

ok none taken but i know what im talking about and whats involved in getting a swap...
200$ for "odd ball crap" isnt going to cut it unless you happen to steal the stuff or get a great hook up at the "boneyard", but if you can more power to you..

If you call resourceful, stealing then thats your problem.. I dont know where you live but around here the pick in pulls are packed with everything but third gens. Ive even ran across a imported first gen(right hand drive)!It never snows here in the dirty south. So how did your turbo swap go? Did you do it yourself or someone else? Have any pics maybe a modd list too... Ive got pics of my 85 SE if interested. If you dont belive me about the boneyard P.M. BADASS RX-7 ask about the pull-a-part off of morlend ave and buford hwy.-rtyPWR

$200 oddball crap won't cover it, since the -SE trans won't clear a 245mm flywheel. Use NA flywheel and ****, and you'll probably get a drivetrain vibration. Not to mention running new exhaust, mounting the IC somewhere where it will get airflow, etc. Try at least $1700.

Why not just use his curent se's flywheel?

I am not going to do a turbo swap thats what a second gen rx is for. I was just kicking around ideas. I like this forum but you people are so ready to tell others how wrong they are when you people dont know what kind of knowledge, skill, or means they have available. Anyway I like all-motor I think it shows more skill in making power and an acomplishment in tuning than just using N.O.S. or turning up the boost . Please lets stick a fork in this post! And all you N.O.S. junkies and turbo guys dont get offended. Its just an opinion -rtyPWR

So why do you post here felix? Looks like you dont need any help you have an RX junk yard in your back yard. If you would read the original post you would know what I was talking about. Also I dont recall saying anything about being the master of the universe. Remember guys its just my opinion dont lose any sleep over it.

you both need to chill out
have a beer or whatever fine beverage of your choice.
but i do have to say if you dont have experience dealing with the area than you shouldnt make any comments about our expertise doing a swap..
oh why did you ask about the se/turbo harness if your doing to do it in a 2nd gen?
oh well.

All I said was your dollar figure was wrong. No need to be a dick.
The only way to get a swap done that cheap is to pick up a wrecked running TII.
Oh, thats just my opinion. Don't lose any sleep over it

RTYPWR,
Felix and RX7passion are doing US a favor by posting their knowledge about rotaries. I wouldn't second guess them. Maybe you DO have extensive knowledge about rotaries, but you should accept your forum friends' response to your question, good or bad.

Let me get back in my place I forgot where I was at. Lol.. When did i ever say I know everything? I said turbo engines are made for second gens it is a much better platform for high output turbo. The 1st gen does not need one if you do for what uncontrolable wheel spin.. I mean really what are you looking for 10 sec quarter miles the car wouldnt be streetable anymore. All David lanes car does is like mid 13 sec you could do that with all-motor dont get so mad guys thats why we post on the forum so we can talk to other rotor heads I have never questioned your ability but you guys talked to me like that so I gave it back.Its ok I my be a newbie to the forum but Im not a bad person remeber when you were the new guy!-rtyPWR

The FB is a more suitable drag car because of the solid axle rear.
A turbo motor'd FB would run mid 13s blazing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gears, and not even strain the engine; whereas a worked all motor one would need perfect launch and shifting to keep up. Not to mention being a more high strung powerplant.
I still want a fatty bridgeport NA engine, with all the high rpm mods so I can shift at 10K Then I could deal with selling my streetbike.

www.mazdaracing.com has a 12A Turbo 1st gen with a best of 10.82 @ 129 and its streetable...
"It has full interior, a stock 12a transmission, stock gsl rear end, stock suspension, a stock MazdaRacing.com modified Nikki carburetor (factory in all 79-85 12a Rx7's), a stock intake manifold, all glass window's, full interior, all working factory lights, blinkers and gauges and runs on DOT tires. The car is registered, insured and unlike most cars in the "street class", this car really does drive on the street on a regular basis. "
so you can eat that...

You guys want to hang me dont you!!!! I love you all anyway. Streetable is one thing daily driven is another. I agree about the 1st gen being a better drag car. The streets are a testament to that I love rustangs they are fast but just lose one bit of traction to me and its all over.-rtyPWR
