turbo question.

I don't know too much about turbo's or even car's in general. My friend said he could get a turbo from a rx7 and sale it to me for cheap. It is the touring addition so it isn't twin turbo. He says he could probably make it fit in my max. Would it even fit? What would i need to get to make it fit?

welcome to the forum. before others tell you to do so, i would recommend doing a search for turbo as you will find a host of information on the board. that aside, any turbo will work, the problem is the plumbing of the turbo. there are available kits that you can find here on the board.

As far as sizing on the turbo goes physically you can set an indy car turbo under your hood and fit, but there are two other things to keep in mind. You want something well matched to the car with quick spool up and still flow good on the top end, which is why I chose a t3/t4. Anyways that is your first issue if the rx7 turbo is well matched to our car. Second thing is, finding a turbo is by far the easiest part of getting turbo, all the pipe work is the hard part. Best of luck if you try and tackle that, if you are interested in a turbo kit though, check out www.hlh0501.com/turbo.htm

Hope this helps, feel free to email me any questions you have about either setup, creating your own or mine.

Hey, this is kinda off topic but I heard you are moving to Cali. When are you moving and how will this affect your turbo kits you are selling?
