Turbochargers

[camryjunkie17]

What's the best turbocharger out there for a 1996 toyota camry le? I hear the t66 turbo is pretty good. Any advice?

well id search the topic, its been discussed hundreds of times. and look here is a good list and advice for turboing the 5sfe.

ok, so i havnt been paying attention, but it would help if you let us know what engin you have, eithe the 4 or the 6.

also, isnt the 66 what tonys runnin? or was runnin...

Nah, last I saw on vids and sig he was running the 67 which is basically an old GT40. Yes it like said it does depend, you have to state your engine, miles, your HP goal, reliabilty, etc. and most stuff will have to be custom along with new computers so you have to state this and maybe you'll get some good feedback.

I thought a t66 is a good sized turbo, i'm guessing a t3/t4, ct26, or something small is what the o.p. would like to start off with.

As far as the V6 goes...

CT26 goes right out the window.

A post from the turbo thread from tony. and with that... my advice... search.

Small turbos that chokes the motor would only add low RPM "boost" response, but not throttle response. In fact, small turbos will always give you that spongy throttle feel whenever the engine is not in boost. Just making sure that people won't think about getting really small turbos to improve engine response. You'll only get low-end and midrange torque and quicker power delivery with small fast spooling turbos, but the motor will lack the "lightness" of say a good breathing NA motor. On the other hand, a really large turbo sometimes will add lightliness to the motor because of the great free flow before the turbo begins to spool.

Anyway, for larger motors matching with small turbos, you can always step up to a larger turbine housing. You'd be surprised that a small GT2860RS for example which falls into the T2 frame family can still breathe faily well for a 3.0L. The turbine flow maps for the 0.86 a/r T2 housing can easily support the flow, but a common thing to do is upgrade to an ATP T3 drop-in housing and that turbo would work really well with the 1MZ.

for the record it look like he has the 4 banger (currently at least) course you could be asking about boosting the 6 if you roll with a swap like you asked.
