    misinformation abound.

    do you know how to weld?

    take your budget for turbocharging the engine, and write that down.
    now double that. now take 1/3rd of that price, and add that to the total. thats your true budget as you will far surpass your total.

    you can turbo the NA FC. however i would NOT do it to adams old tired engine that you purchased off him.
    that is rule number one. always start with a fresh engine when you go turbo.
    rule number two, dont skimp or cut corners. you need a proper ecu. i reccomend a Sprint RE from haltech. this thing is very cheap, and does everything you need it to do.
    2nd step. fuel. get some bigger injectors. start off with 550cc and work your way up in the combination. i currently run 550cc primaries and 1600cc seccondaries. then upgrade the fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator.

    you are pretty much done at this point.

    glad to hear it.
    Get something and rebuild it. These japspec motors are 90% of the time crap. The only guy selling good Jspec motors is Japan2LA on rx7club. The pricing is pretty decent too! If you need something to rebuild though, I have a longblock minus injectors and turbo I'll let go for cheap. $150 and you can rebuild it at your leisure. lost compression on the rear rotor. was bumping 95 on the front rotor though. It was a sad day when this happened. Anyways if you are interested let me know.

    dont buy a used engine. build an engine from pieces.

    get t2 irons, and get some new t2 rotor housings. then slap it all togeather.
