engine internals do not need to be changed.... assuming they are good now this topic has been covered many times so a quick search should get you more info than you ever wanted. also, if ya need more info just yell.

What kind of 13B? If it's a 6port it's a bit more difficult for a new owner. There are numerous threads on adding a turbo to a 6port motor. Just search "turbo 6port motor" and you will get results.

welcome to the board.

the simple answer is no. you don't NEED to change anything internally.

the more complex answers will depend on what you're trying to accomplish - how much power, what turbo you plan to use, will it be used on the street, track, both, etc.

Everybody was new to these engines at one time. The simple operation of them is easy, but once you start getting deeper into it, it's more difficult to understand at first. Now it's pretty simple.

What Turbo kits can I add onto my non turbo RX-7?
There are no longer kits formally made at the time of this post, however there are companies from time to time that do make available non turbo to Turbo Kits. Because most of these companies stop building the kits, or go out of business in short time, it is impossible to keep active links for them.

Most people that turbo a non turbo make their own kits:
