NA to turbo (13b to wanna be 13bt)

is it possible to turbocharge the stock naturally aspirated 13b motor? How much boost can it handle? I have access to materials and such and have good fabricating skills, I was thinking of running the turbo II manifold and turbo with a front mount, turbo pcm, and the misc sensors i would need.

Is it possible to turn a na motor to turbo? well can it handle 6 or 7 psi?

Dude, calm down.

Anyhow, yes you can turbo an N/A. I'd suggest you go for a TII swap, but hey, its your car.

Now if you use the search funstion, included aaron cake as thread starter, you'll find everything you need. Or maybe he'll step in and fill you in.

Pain in but to turbo, but yes it can be done, swap is more practical. Or you could always supercharge the engine as well.

If rotaries are anything like piston engines when it comes to turbos then yeah, but you would have to bump the compression ratio to handle a turbo. I dont know what all is entailed intoa compression bump like that, but Im sure its quite extensive. Probably more so then a piston engine, just cause I know absolutely nothing about that sort of thing with rotaries. lol.

But yeah, I mean you could turbo a lawnmower engine if you really wanted to, but why.

Tim Allen did it in the episode vs. Bob Villa. Remember the souped up mowers? Allen's was rotary powered.

OP: piston engines are nothing like rotary engines. You cannot bump up compression but you CAN change the rotors. You need to do a lot of research and STUDYING before you go buying and doing **** to your car thinking it's a mustang or civic.
