Putting One Of the 3g RX-7 Twins On My ESi

[audiousECLIPSE]

Would it be possible (within a decent price range) to make a kit to fit one of the stock 3g RX7 turbos on the 420A and run it at 6 psi?

My brother has one laying around from his RX7 and said we could put it on my car if I wanted.

Don't know much about the FD twins but I figure it would be greatly cheaper to buy a used T25 or 14b. These turbos already have the mitsu turbo housing so you could make an exhaust manifold or buy one quite easily. Also using a mitsubishi flange on exhaust manifold will allow you to use all of the bolt on turbos for us 4G63's. You can pick up a supra intercooler or a DSM stock one and make some custom piping. The whole kit could be made for under 500 dollars if you source good used parts. Don't forget about engine management and all fuel supplies as well as monitoring devices. The last thing you want to do is blow that 420a. Please N/T guys don't be mad if this isn't the route you go seeing that I'm a 4G63 guy and just stumbled in.

Forgot to mention, my dad is an engineer, so I have access to his shop and him. Also, I hardly expect 6 psi is gonna blow the 420A.

Free turbo, possibly free materials and free use of a shop and tools.

get ready to be suprised then.. 4 psi can blow the 420a if bad tuning is done..

You can put ANY turbo on ANY engine. Whether or not it will work efficiently or work at all is beside the point. If you have access to a machine shop and an engineer to go with your free turbo, then I don't see why you shouldn't be able to put something together. Research some manifold design (log style is simpler and therefore cheaper), and all the other aspects of turbocharging. As was stated above, 4psi will lean you way the #### out if you're not smart. All turbos work the same way - they force more air into your engine. You need to add the appropriate amount of fuel or even 4lbs will cost you dearly. Just because a turbo comes off a different car does not mean that all the rest of the rules for turbocharging change.

Do your homework and you can do it.

K, I realize any amount of pressure could kill a setup that isn't properly tuned. I'm in a family of car guys, I'm sure they can help me out. Thanks for the help, though.

the FD twins aren't too shabby. I helped a friend make a manifold to bolt a pair of FD twins to his L28t 280Z
