are you looking for just turbo, then you need a turbo manifold , injectors, fuel rails, in all, its alot of money, unless its a basic upgrade, only the manifold will do, but keep the boost low, and dont do burn outs cause n/a trannies cant hold the load. upgrade when you find it

Why do you need these things?

What are goals and what do you want to do with the car?

for the bomex body kit. it is on special. the bad thing, they are on back order, will take at least 2 months to get it, but it is sweet as hell, with tax and shipping 6.5% in florida, the whole kit cost me 864.00. the web site is www.bomexaero.com

So you're saying you have an NA (non turbo) and want to put a turbo on it? It's alot more work than just buying a turbo kit. If you are serious look in the archives for threads by Aaroncake for NA to turbo.

Hey...I take offense to the whole 16 year old and body kit. And so what if I want a Mazdaspeed/MS replica front lip spoiler? And at least now I know that a turbo kit is essentially a waste of time on an N/A...

Anyhow, what's an FTP?

ilike2eatricers

FTP=flash to pass lense

steviep_

see in japan apperently the roads are lit very well, so headlights are kind of a waste.
u know the little clear plastic thingy under your headlights above your turning signal?
thats the FTP lens.
J-spec 7's actually have a bulb in there

cmon guys, wheres the love?! lol just cause he "needs" a turbo & bodykit why make fun of him? and why did snub say that a turbo was a waste of time on a n/a? i was planning on doin the conversion in the near future, but now im more hesitant. BTW why would u wanna buy ftp's? Just put some grill mesh from Home Depot in there haha thats what im doing. GL in your project Drift

buy a T2 engine with all that you need... should be a lot less to buy the "turbo kit".. better yet .. sell the n/a and buy a t2 ...

Bomex kits ar cheep .. but GP-sports is where its at !

I meant turbo'ing the existing engine. For my eventual plans, it seems like a waste. I want to make it past 250rwhp eventually, and on the N/A rotors, that's just not practically possible. So I'm just going to go with a Turbo II engine swap, as the local Mazda recycling place has a parts car up for grabs. I don't want to sell my car and get a new, Turbo II, because I've already put about $3k in wheels, suspension, and tires already, so I would basically lose that entire investment if I sold the car, and parting it out wouldn't help much. And also, I've developed a sort of sentimental attatchment to my car already, so I wouldn't want to see something I put so much time and money into go to waste by selling it and getting a car that I could basically create (an even better one, actually) with spare parts.

why dont you just do a full t2 swap ... driveshaft n allsure it will cost more but that way u dont hafta get rid of your FC, im planning on doing that just cause the fact i have a 86 (only year that FC's didnt have a turbo model) i thought it would be different

You can swap the wheels and suspension on to the new t2. Take it from alot of us who have done a swap. Its very time consuming and it essentially throwing a ton of used parts together and expecting it to run like new. Will not happen. Take someones advice and just buy a t2 swap your rims and then sell the NA. Save time and a ton of money

dont turbo your NA, swap it over, and as for bodykits, the cheapest way to go it to buy a front lip spoiler and upgrade to s5 body and tails. And Gp sports wass discontinued in us, and still way to expenive either way

SpeedFreak03

OK heres your options pretty much:

1. Turbo the NA engine. This means custom fabricating and fitting TONS of parts, it will take the longest, most expensive, and not the highest performing (but the best learning experience IMO).

2. Swap the NA drivetrain for TII drivetrain. This consists of swapping engine, turbo, tranny, etc with parts from a TurboII. This is a very popular thing for people who have $1000s invested in their NAs and want some real power

3. Buy a TurboII, swap any aftermarket parts (that fit) onto the TII from your NA and sell the NA. This is probably your best bet. No custom work here, and your car will probably be the most reliable this way (unless you go with option 2 and rebuild the TII engine first), and this is the cheapest way to go unless you can get a TurboII engine/tranny/etc for cheap. I think you should go this route.

Good luck with whatever you choose!

Hay thanks guys i just do this for fun so iam looking for something differant if i was just some guy doing a simple engin swap then i wouldn't be very differant and a body kit just looks good and helps me sell my car to stupid ricers as for being new to this your half right i have been tuning cars a bikes for a long time know but this is my first RX-7 so eat it.

Well if you don't realise it already the RX-7 is much diffrent than a Honduh civic where you can just throw on a turbo kit.

(Edit for ridiculous signature...check your PMs)
