hi guys i am a newbie i have a 89 camry that i have gen 3 3sge that i will be turboing any time soon

things i have gotten so far

3s turbo manifold
ct26 turbo
t3/t4 turbo with a small back housing [trying to get the fit because of downpipe]
ic piping kit
28x6x2.5 fmic[very tight fit but love challenges]
external wastegate
bov
boost gauge[installed]
lean&rich[installed]
boost controller

stuff i think i need
2.5 90 degree bend hose [for fmic think it will be easier to work with]
oil lines & fittings
and various size hoses

problem forsee
fmic tight to fit
plan to keep it as much original as possible
car is a daily driver
cant park 4 long
what do u think guys

your going to need lower compression pistons too

iam only running 5-7lbs what is the danger

fredk · 02-24-2010, 08:51 PM

your running alot of compression for a turbo, lots less would be much better but your at sea level and that makes even more compression so be very sensitive to spark knock or lean, did you put the motor in or was it done already?

thanks fredk yes i put the motor in 2 year ago
can 3s fe piston drop in a gen3 3sge and does anyone know if my piston are forged

fredk · 02-25-2010, 03:27 PM

yes but they are kinda weak and dished out and none are forged

fredk · 02-25-2010, 03:27 PM

you got any motor in car pics?

What ECU/electronics is running the motor? Does it use a MAF, AFM or MAP sensor for fueling?

You will probably need lots of little odds 'n ends along with something to tune fuel and possibly timing to have a happy motor.

For low boost with an intercooler, don't worry about rebuilding the motor or new pistons or anything. Make sure you run the highest octane available to you (highest non-race gas, that is).

i think is a map that little sensor with 3 wires and a vacum hose

and i am running the 3sge ecu. iknow there will be odds n ends just.hoping to tune but tuners are very expensive here and hardly can find a good tuner
