I might just turbo my car or rebuild my supercharger kit and sell it and save for a turbo kit

Its a Rotrex C30 blower contact them and they can probably sell you a rebuild kit or you can send it in and have it rebuilt.
Rare or not the kit with a blown blower isnt worth over $1000 its the blower that makes that kit special.

(If you want to trade the kit for some turbo parts let me know i miss my toyomoto kit)

LOL Sounds like you've been through a bunch of crap and beginning to understand and appreciate the difference between a "performance upgrade" and a "performance upgrade that you can actually enjoy"

Lance is one of few that I can honestly be reassured of... if it's Toyomoto, it's gotta be good.

Is a supercharger kit, 3 turbo kits and 3 motors enough? lol My car has been through so much its stupid in the last 4 years its probably gotten 3500 miles on it total and i'm building a new motor and have a new turbo kit pieced together to go on it now. I'm tempted to send it to Florida once its all together and have lance tune it. Which was one of the reasons i switched from a Haltech back to an AEM this time.

I would love to have another Toyomoto S/C kit that was the most fun i ever had with my IS.

LOL, as said... it takes one to know one.

3 engines in 4 years? ehhh, not bad... In my earlier days I was a Rotary fanatic... aka "battered wife syndrome". I went through 6 engines, in 5 years...and countless turbo sizing combinations till I got the 7th one just right.

On the plus side... it kept the mileage low and the RX7 super clean... gotfeatured in Sport Compact Car 1996.
