I might be a newbie, but I too have tried the turbo conversion. Actually the conversion is in work. I'll let you know who it goes.

 

N E ONE HAVE A FRONT BODY KIT FOR SALE E-MAIL ME

 

Aaron congrats on your time and effort In resurrecting your Turbo charged FC. I have to ask, where did you get your S-AFC? How much?

 

i thought that couldn't be done. i have a n/a and im totally jealous!!! thats awesome
how much hp do you think it would give a n/a with like a stock tII boost?
would it be better than the tII stock

 

Beware of deadly detonation since you didn't put t2 rotors in it that will always be an issue. I don't think you can use the injectors from a t2 with a n/a ecu turbo injectors are of different impedance but hey man I hope it works. If its faster than my n/a I'll give mad props to ya.

 

Of course it can be done. The people who say it can't aren't worth listening to.

No idea on power levels yet as I have not dyno'd the car.

TII injectors will work just fine with the NA ECU as long as you get injectors from the same series of car. And you'll need some way to control them (ie. S-AFC).

As far as detonation, it's a problem for all rotaries, so I'm not worried about.

Yes, it's safe to say that it's faster than your NA.

 

bad azz, I know I shouldn't be talking about this, but im gonna say it anyways, I got a friend of mine who boosts cars and strips'em, and he's got a guy who claims to have more than 400 hp in his car, but he wants to get the insurance money from his "stolen" car, $500 for everything, and ill strip the car, and put everything in my 86 gxl, i think its s4, im not sure, i'd love for you guys advice, if you wanna check it out for me, just go to autotrader.com, look for mazda, rx7, type in 86 through 91, and in the beggining when it asks you for zip code just put 33013. also when you do the search, make sure you puld 100 miles for the distance, you'll find it, it says 425+ hp, tell me what you think. Thanks, -tito

 

Your friend is going to steal this car for you??

 

What about the poor bastard that has his car stolen. What happens when someone steals you car and sells it for $500.

 

no, you see the guy WANTS his car to be stolen, he wants to get paid by his insurance, he needs the money and the insurance pays him $9,000 with his full cover if its accidentally stolen. So he told my friend to get rid of the car and it just so happens I need it , he figures nobody would give him that, as for my car, im gonna put that low jack alarm system on it, so as soon as its stolen, the police track it to where it is moving, like a homing device, but the guy who's stealing it won't know where it is. What do you think?

 

Sounds pretty lame

 

Can the mods perhaps delete these last few posts? Thanks.

 

Any Ideas on price ? Sorry didn't feel like sifting through all that crap

 

I have some questions and I am sorry if this has been covered before.... I am planning to buy a 2nd gen GXL and use it as a parts car to transfer the drivetrain into my '68 datsun 510, I will be using the 13b in n/a form for about a year while I get all the kinks worked out and while I finish the other stuff on the car... ie suspension, brakes, restoration.....

My question is did you have the motor apart before you did this conversion? did you use low compression rotors? upgraded apex seals? Are you still using the 6-port design because it is my understanding that the tII is a 4 port motor? thanks ahead of time it is great to see this done I have been talking about it on my other boards and people are so thickheaded, they tell me all these reasons why it cant be done but in reality there should be no problem running a turbo set up on a higher compresion engine and in some cases it might be better. For my car there will be a lot less turbo lag because the higher comp. engine puts out more exhaust earlier, you cant run as much boost but I dont need to since the car will wiegh in at a mighty 2000lbs with driver hopefully after this conversion is done and have a near perfect 50/50 wieght ratio. It may not be the most ideal setup but it gives me a lot of options, I will be making a custom turbo header to position the turbo where I want it in the 510 engine bay, I can choose a turbo better suited for my application... ect. thanks for any help!

 

Aaron-Wounderful job-It takes a lot of ingenuity to do that coversion. Good Luck!!!
I can't believe we have guys talking about stealing cars, selling/buying parts, and think nothing of it.
It's unbelievable!

 

Something I don't understand here, where to get the engine oil for the turbo that will not affect the oil pressure? There is a metal pipe in front of the radiator, I checked the manual that is for oil cooling. If the oil getting from that pipe to the turbo and than after the turbo the oil back to that pipe. What will happen?

Will the turbo shorten the engine life if the oil pressure lower?

Thanks for your answer!!

 

It's all in the thread already. Oil comes from the oil cooler. It is mentioned several times, and there are at least 3 pictures of it.

 

Does anyone know how big of a turbo you can put on a N/A engine?

 

I guess you could put as big of one as you wanted to, so long as you tuned it VERY precisely and had plenty of fuel. I, personally, wouldnt go much bigger than a stock TII turbo myself.

 

You're a wuss...I'm going TO4.

 

Could you run High boost or would it be better if you put the Turbo II rotors in

 

If you're going as far to put the low comprssion TII rotors into the 6 port engine (WHY???), then just swap in the TII engine.

 

Just a quick question, did you replace or inspect your EGR valve when you have the intake manny off??? Just curious if you were as paranoid as I would have been?

 

My EGR is still in place, but useless. When you remove the ACV valve, you pretty much kill the emissions system. I plan to remove the EGR this winter when I rebuild the engine.

 

i'm curious about how you routed your air pump without the ACV. doesnt it regulate the air going to the cat somehow? or maybe it doesnt matter much, just wondering because i would like to toss my ACV but need to keep my cat.
