A LOT. Your going to need a STRONG rear, at least a c4 transmission, new suspension, computer, and your going to SERIOUSLY need to mod your housing to make it fit. The 7.5 is a GREAT engine, but it will take A LOT of cash to get it going right...

Its a 3 rotor 20b. Thats 2.0 liters of death. In stock form with the stock twins and automatic transmission 280HP 296 TQ . With that monster size turbo and most likely port work probably looking at 600-800 HP depending on boost level. Out of motor that probably weighs about the same as the v6.

a tune
better rims and tires would be a good idea
computer harness
new speedo
some frabrication....

and alot more that i dont feel like naming because theres been so many threads like this and truth is your not goin go to go with anyones suggestion because if you dont know what you need then you shouldnt be doing this anyway.
