ok i have a 1989 rx7 convertible with a blown N/A engine in it
im getting a 13B Mazda RX7 Single Turbo Engine only 89-91

it comes with
Complete Motor
Complete Head and Block
Intake Manifold
Distributor
Injectors
Fuel Rail
Power Steering Pump
Throttle Body
Exhaust Manifold
Alternator
Turbo

and i am wondering if i will need to get anything else for it to do the swap
will i need to get any kind of wiring harness or ecu .. just anything else i would need.
and will i have to upgrade my exhaust at all? i have an aftermarket exhaust but not sure what kind specifically

thank you again for all your help

OK, you have a long block. What you should have is matching ECU AND harness, unless you are planning on installing EMS. Your existing exhaust will result in too much back pressure for free flow loving turbo. You'd also need drive shaft, rear end and axles as turbo and n/a models do have diff specs.
