    1st Gen Turbo Question.

    Say I put a T3 on my auto SOHC.
    custom turbo manifold, custom piping, 93 rx-7 Turbo fuel pump, DSM BOV,Oil lines, running like at 5psi, with a custom downpipe to my stock exhaust. I'll run it like that cuz of tight budget.
    Will my tranny blow up in little pieces when the the turbo spools up or will it handle it? Im not planning on racing it, just a normal daily driver.

    The tranny should handle normal driving, but if you're on a tight budget I doubt you'll be able to get a custom manifold made + all the other turbo goodies. Weren't you thinking of buying an LX anyways?

      Yeah.. But sometimes I say "i'm gonna throw it in the garbage, or junk it" but thinking about all the effort that i put into this car always makes me think twice. so im unsure.

        Drop the DOHC in it, or get a GTX.

              Once you turbo it, you'll loose even more money if you want to sell it. I might have my DOHC engine for sale pretty soon if you're interested.

                So your gonna throw 1500 into it to sell it for 1800 at most i will give you 300 for the car if you want and you can just scrap the idea and buy a lx 5 speed

                    You're giving me $300 US dollars for my car?? What are you... crazy or something??
                    By the way... i already have the manifold,the T3 (Garrett, it already has the oil/water flanges.), and the piping.
                    the only things I need are... fuel pump( Turboge is selling a Walbro 255lph for like $50shipped), a BOV off a DSM on Ebay $30?, oil lines $70, downpipe would cost me like around $100 and other $50 clamps and gaskets maybe. You do the math.

                            Read my post and do the math of what i was saying, If you throw 1500 into a car you can only sell for atmost 1800 then you basically just sold the car for 300,So keep the parts you have sell the car for 1000-1200 buy a lx 5 speed and turbo that with the manifold turbo and things your getting or have already. You will have another 25hp a 5 speed power everything and prob a sunroof with alloys.
