I spent about 3500 putting a 13b-re into a 90 base. I bought the car cheap with a bad motor in good shape with the intention of just rebuilding the original motor. I probably have about 7k into the entire car incuding upgrading the brakes, the cost of the car, the cost of destroying a one 13b-re engine due to crank trigger noise the T2 rear end musting wheels etc. I'm still using stock turbo's though.
If I could do it again I would have bought an FD. There are many nearly complete project cars that go for way less than the cost of parts. My friend just bought a silvia conversion that has more than 15k in reciepts for 5K, with a 750 HP dyno sheet.

As I say to a lot of people asking this, if you have to ask, don't do it. I literallly get up to 10 PMs a day with questions like these and the answer is always the same: read the FAQ and look at the big writeup on my website. This covers turboing the NA with the stock NA intake manifolds and exhaust spacer. There are many ways things can be done including modifying the TII intake manifolds to fit.
Longs story short is that you cannot keep the aux port sleeves because the actuators will not fit (unless you remote mount them and use bicycle cable to run the ports). The airpump is only needed if you have to run a cat.

Aaron might seem harsh sometimes but if you listen to him he right MOST of the time....i think he secretly worked in the factories building these as a kid when they were making these cars!!

If you want it to be reliable start with a standalone fuel pump and injectors , it will last you 200.000 miles on a fresh engine mines going on 203.000 and now I have a npr isuzu fmic

If you want a Turbo charged RX7 then it'll be much cheaper to find a factory Turbo car and restore it. The RX7 is a well engineered machine and it was engineered around its power plant. Changing the engine to turbo isn't all that's required to upgrade your car to turbo. You'll come out $$$ ahead by starting with a car factory set up for turbo.

This makes a steep learning curve and there are a LOT of standalone equipped cars that are running around on the base map (and blowing engines!) because of it.
