turbo
Does anyone know how difficult it would be to put a turbo on a REPU? I am looking at buying one for a project and wanted to know if it would be easy to turbo it. If it would take work, what would it require?

All the obvious stuff.
You'd need a motor set up to handle it --like the turbo II seven's-- and all the relevant bits. Of course it'd take work... Likely more so if you're not simply swapping in a complete, running setup.
Of course, you can always try to slap something together, and run it until it pops...

All you need is the engine, harness, ecu, fuel system, turbos, exhaust to match. Not that hard to be honest.
I wouldn't try boosting the stock 13b. You are better off starting with a fresh motor.

Its not a problem at all to do the turbo, you'd need to get a standalone system like from Microtech. Otherwise you would have to do a blow thru system (using the carbureuter).

boost
The 4 port 13b from the REPUs has compression ratio of 9:2:1. Compare that to a T2's compression of 9:0:1 and that seems to be as close as it gets for the NA motors Mazda made.
