I need help here amigos. Ya i know i read the forums on engine swaps.But hey im a newbie and really want my rx-7 running.I have acquired many aftermarket s5 fc parts parts. Anyways I own a 1988 gxl. I want to swap in a s5 turbo engine,and i alreay know that you must keep it in the same year to make the swap easier.Ya, well i aint going to let some troubles stop me from my goal.Alright the question is, do i have to use a turbo 2 boost sensor?Do i have to use a airflowmeter, and for what reason?And why a turbo 2 starter, when i have a starter already.Man, this crap is more confusing then what i thought. All the old school dudes told me, You dont know what youre getting into.Come on guys help a fellow rotary head. I mean i already spent so much money on s5 aftermarket parts,it aint even funny. They even told me i had to switch my rear end to a turbo 2, but i said screw that and went and found somebody to build me a custom driveshaft to fit my rear end to my s5 turbo tranny. Alright hope to hear from somebody.

turbo II starter because you need to use a turbo II tranny
yes you need a AFM, to tell how much air the engine is taking in...
you need to use a S5 boost sensor and whole S5 engine harness.

Unless you go with an aftermarket EMS, like me, and alleviate many of those headaches, while creating a few smaller ones.

sounds like you spent a whole lot of money on something before you did any research on what parts to buy.
