Yes the RX-7 stock turbo was a paragon of durability and bullet-proof reliability.
Go for it.
Ask here for more advice as you get to where the exhaust ports are in a different place, we will have answers.

+1 ^ I thought this was the same thread as yesterday. Jeesh, this is getting crazy with all these ridiculous questions. Man, makes me worried about whats going to happen to my insurance rates in the next year or so, all these people getting RX-8s cant be good our costs.

They wont research far enough to figure out they have to check the oil, or change it for that matter, then we will have lots of "My RX-8 needs a new engine"

mmm yes, very, very "possiable".
you would just need to replace the exhaust manifold, downpipe, downpipe adapter, intercooler bracket, probably the intercooler itself, all oil hosing(you don't reuse that sort of thing..), most of the vacuum hosing, all compression pipes, all suction pipes, then of course you would most likely need to by a new turbo.
There are a few companies out there that do this sort of conversion, Greddy, Turblown and Esmeril are a few of them
