turbo conversion??

[mcx]

i might have a solid lead on a MR2 3SFE TURBO exhaust manifold and matching turbo...i need to know if the MR2 downpipe will fit in my 91 Camry??

Doesn't a 3SGTE manifold bolt onto a 3SFE directly? Bolt on a CT26 or a T3/T4 adaptor plate, ect. o.o

yeah, its been posted that the manifold and turbo bolt on, but i was wondering if there is a chance the stock down pipe fits in the Camry as well..i'd rather use as many stock parts for this conversion just to keep it low buck.

Stock downpipe will not fit, but you can get a cheap eBay downpipe instead. It may need to be 'clearanced' (ie, banged with a hammer) to fit the front swaybar.

You will need a custom front exhaust pipe to mate with the rest of your exhaust (get that upgraded at the same time!).

Try to get the matching oil lines so you can use a stock Celica Alltrac oil pan (or MR2 oil pan with block-off plate for oil level sensor). The feed line will need to be modified so you can run an braded line from the oil pressure port on the head.

Thank you for those details...my deal fell through on the ex manifold and turbo but i'll keep looking.....Charlie, how do you think the stock automatic would perform with this turbo mod???? mike

As long as the trans is in good shape, it should be fine.
