i've been digging up info on every turbo used on the 7m. What brands, and size combos work. Price is also a factor. I'm pretty sure i'm gonna use a T66 from www.turbocalculator.com with RC 550cc, and a walbro. That should work good. Any suggestions before i buy? :burnrubbe
Thanks

What manifold are you using? If its the stock one, then you are fairly limited...

iim using a to4 adapter with the stock manifold ( maxxautoworks.com ) so i can use an external wastegate.

Ah ok, you have a lot more options then. The stock manifold still won't flow very well above 500hp, but you'll have a large selection of turbos...

that's what hp number i'm shooting for anyway. I have 3 other projects right now ('78 kaw 650, '85 MR2 Chevron can-am replica, saving for ZX-12 Streetfighter), so i have to be careful on how much i spend on my parts for each project.

MNI like the stock one in My 85 with 7MGTE conversion....It spools up rapidly, and very strong...I have a friend who had a big Garrett and it took forever to spool up, only good for a couple of thousand rpms like 5000 on to 7000...I wasnt impressed...save your $ Bob In Poughkeepsie...
