Well - That\'s torn it !!

Cheers for the info, basically the size and shape of the aperture where the manifold bolts onto the turbo.

Might be worth having a word with REworx they were doing a kit [that was sort of developed from my car] for a good price, I managed 462atw @ 1.15bar using it. hth
Problem with stock twins I am afraid, they produce to much heat when boosted further than stock and coupled with their age seals are likely to go:o

[strange_days_uk]

Cheers John,

Really wanna minimise cost, although I will definately not opt for a second rate turbo.  Quality is paramount!

Problem is from a vendor over here I am looking at a good f\'ing £2000 lets face it.

And that may be just for the basic bits.

I even wondered earlier if it would be better just to break the car :-((

[Rixio]

No need to do it all straight away...its winter now take your time, no need to rush things to not be able to drive it in this sh*tty weather anyway...:Thumbs-up

[strange_days_uk]

manifold and wastegate easy enough


air filter and pipework ??

anything else I missed ??

[peterwolds]

Also, are XS Power turbos any good ?

[cannonballer]

What ever you buy Please do not buy this one as the Exhaust housing is far too small and will damage your engine because of its inability to scavenge hot gasses out of the chambers

Rotarys need an adequately  big bum on their single Turbo\'s than piston engines in comparison to the front hosing to ensure the above does not happen.

A few years ago running a little GT30, I lost an engine due to this as the hot gas had expanded the tip and it came in contact with an end plate and broke a piece of the end.  

Hope this helps

Just get some good second hand twins or go to the single turbo forum on rx7club.com or nopistons.com and do lots and lots of reading.

[TRex]

^  Very good advise.

[strange_days_uk]

I am going to get one of the following:

Mitsubishi TD06
T04S or R
GT35R

Just a case of finding one at the right price.  Charly on the forum is getting a kit through from Jap with his new car, hopefully it will be right for mine and I will get that.

I am certainly not gonna do anything silly and buy a naff/unsuitable turbo.

I am still learning and refuse to make any mistakes with this..

Time will tell, I will keep you all posted (no pun intended)

[BlitzBoy]

Defo go with a branded Turbo thats my advice
Garrett or Mitsi, HKS use Garrett as base and Trust use Mitsi as base.
