Turboing a 12A na will cost you as much or more than a 13BT swap. But if your still intrested let me kow, ill give you the info.

shit the same? just cause there isnt a kit for it? would you suggest a 13bt or s4? I was thinking about the s4 because I could get it cheap from a local place but ive dealt with more smog problems with my vr4 then anyone should in their entire life, so this plays a large role in my engine choice. A new 13bt is like 4-5k from what ive seen. Ive noticed alot of rx7 owners eliminate emissions...? Does every owner know a mechanic to smog for them or what? With smog 2 it becomes a lot harder to fake it.

It's somewhat hard to get either engine smogged stock let alone a turboed 12a or modded 13bt.

I would assume most people removing smog items are in non-smog states so they don't really have to worry about the emissions system.

You could also find a pretty cheap jspec 13bt on ebay or online importers for around 1,000-2,000 used.
