i recently bought an 89 mazda rx-7, so far racing clutch, new cats, piping, tanabe exhaust mufflers, apex'i power intake, front strut bar, rear triangle strut bar, thinking of doing a custom turbo kit for the car, or i might just do all N/A engine work. what u guys think i shold do, leave a N/A engine and just beef it up, or custom turbo it?

I think you should stick with pure engine power. ^_^

If you do decide to go turbo I would just swap out the N/A for a ported rebuilt turbo engine since they will hold up to boost much better then a 6 port will.

If you do decide to stay N/A get it ported and or get a wet nitrous system for it and buy a t2 trans so you won't be killing the N/A trans all the time.

Why turbo the thing if it'll get even worse gas mileage? :)

J/K. Swap in a TII motor and tranny and you'll be a happy camper. NOS/Porting won't give you the same rush a Turbo 13B can give you.

Its better, cheaper & much easier to just sell your na and buy a Turbo II...Everything is already to go...

just custom make a super charger and you won't need to swap the engine or pay more for insurance cause they don't need to know it has a supercharger :)
