well i bought this 84 gsl-se with a blown rear rotor. have u ever seen a rotor almost cracked in half? wel i have now. after looking at the housings and the rotor i decided that i would be better off finding a new engine. i bought a 13b out of a 88 rx-7 non-turbo.(i wanna do the turboing later on my own.) well i got the engine, coils, ecu, and wiring harness for the engine. what else do i need to get to make it run? am i missing something?
o btw i have this idea pll tell me what u think about it. i'm gona take a new 13b(3'rd gen) from atkins, get it with 3mm seals, ported, race bearings, and a few other things. i tried this on my 69 camero SS (yes SS. the hood alone is worth abouth $4000 b/c they are that hard to find) that my dad and i race. it worked very well till our axel snapped and destroyed the rear end. what we did was took a low boast supercharger and a high boast turbo. the supercharger max boast was like 7 psi, but is reached max psi at about 3000 rpms. by that time the turbo was spooled up and it would boast to about 28 psi. and at higher rpms the supercharger was pretty much blown off. it took a lot of work to get this to work but it worked. we have the advantage of ther turbo and it's ability to not "take power to make power" like a superchager does. but at the same time the low boast off the line we have from the supercharger and by doing that we don't ahve "turbo lag" where u have to wait for the turbo to spool up. we had been just running a supercharger before that. our times dropped by 1.2 seconds. it was a higher boast turbo by like 3 psi. but it helped. i'm thinking of aplling that same idea to my engine that i have coming. whatcha think about that? will it work good with the rotory?
plz answere my few questions.

The dual supercharger/turbo idea has been around a long time. It was done in the late 8- with experimental MR2's, and now Turbo Magazine is doing a similar setup on a new style MR2.
It can be done, on a rotary - a properly sized turbo should do the job without any headaches, unless you just want more to engineering taks.
