just bought my first rotary car its a 1984 rx7 12a n/a
owned a lot of skylines,300zx etc but im new to rotary cars and this is to be a track car only i was wondering can a 12a N/A be turbo charged?
i know as from past projects its not easy but i dont mind the work does anyone know whats envolved in doing this? or has anyone done this on here any help would be great
:wiggle
cheers
Hi Toker.
The 12a did come out as a turbo engine from Mazda and also Elford over here in the UK did produce a turbo kit thatw as approved by Mazda and quite a number of cars were sold with it on.
The boost level is quite low in either guise,around 6 psi.
But with the lower compression rotors from an origianl Mazda turbo 12A and after market management and fueling it is possoble to make alot more power.
Regards
Carl

cheers carl my car has a carb on it at the min would it need changed to injection set up or could i use a blow through carb set up? useing a suitable type carb?
Best bet for cheapeness would be an elford turbo kit,they use an SU carb.
How much can you budget for?

want to keep it as cheap as possable as i always end up spending a small fortune like i did on my last skyline..
i could fab up the manifolds ok,do you mean the su carb such as that was used on a series turbo metros?
were would be a good place to look for an elford kit?
what size of turbo did they use?
thanks

Ask on here if anyone has one,butr I do know where there is one also.
it might be better to drop a T11 engine in, you can pick up complete cars cheap enough, and if you can do a lot of work yourself you are saving, as always depends on your budget.
check out rx7club.com they do a lot of blow through turbo set ups with 45DCOE\'s
