    You are best doing a turbo II swap. From what I have heard, the N/A rotaries do not take well to turbo. You also will want the turbo tranny and rear-end as well. I think the GTU comes with the LSD rear though.

    The whole swap will usually run you $1500-$2500 depending on if you get the hood, rear-end, and the mileage. You also want to opt for the S5 swap.... 89-91 rx-7's are S5 models.

    Another thing you could do is take weight out of the car and port the N/A motor and run higher compression rotors.... lot's of work, but it would be a fun little car!!

    I think you try the n/a turbo first before spending money on a turbo II motor i have a S5 gxl and at 7psi evey day and the bone stock motor mine ran fine. The only thing i would recommend is getting a stand a lone.

    You will spend a lot of money putting a turbo on that car. Yes, it can be done, but a much better route would be to put a small nitrous system on the car with a good exhaust system. That will make you the best horsepower for the money and will keep the car reliable.
    I know from experience.

    n/a= high compression...high compression + after market turbo = BOOM!!!!

    cold air intake?...there's no such thing as a cold air intake unless you make either a heat shield or cut a hole in your car and route the piping out of the engine compartment, otherwise you are jus suckin in hot air....
