would this work with no or little mods (TURBO)

[blackhawk]

just to see if it possible k don't go crazy on me but would one be able to use a turbo from a sabb or volvo or benze engine on a camry v6 one that low you know like one that come on the car from the factory , not to produce crazy power you know just a little kick umm like an extra 10-30 horses if possible with out spending crazy money , the reason i asked is cus i have read on other forums where guys got to the junk yard and grab a turbo off one of the above cars

I suppose you could get a Turbo manifold for the 3S-GTE then mate it to whatever small turbo would fit

youre gonna need mods no matter how small the turbo is

unless you want to fuck up your engine

if you want 10-30 horses, install nitrous .... its safer than a turbo in terms of engine damage, despite what people think

[blackhawk]

yah i figured that but how much mod do you think i would need

[Venom_5]

+ better fuel delivery
+ better intake/exhaust piping
+ management

[blackhawk]

meaning ecu programing

[Venom_5]

meaning a whole lot of things ... read the turbo FAQ thread

It would probably work. You can go the cheap way like your asking just don't expect it to be reliable/effective. I doubt an extra 30hp is gonna do anything to require heavy modification.

The hardest part is going to be the piping.

The advantage to having this over NOS would be if you plan to build up the motor you can always up the boost.

You will need a way to get more fuel (FPR, better fuel pump)
You will need to find a way to tune (Emanage, SAFC, standalone)

alot of the expensive stuff will still have to be done reguardless of how little power ur shottin for. if u do end up doin it then build the rest of the system asuming that u will run a bigger turbo later.

there should be a sticky with just that in it.

[xet]

well he didnt say he wanted big power so cheap and reliable should be workable

this is a first time i've heard of a camry owner wanting to turbo his camry using a turbo from a euro car.

[bigbird]

doesnt really mean anything, most turbos that companies use, including euros, come from turbo companies. they jsut tool them for a certain model and mass produce.

[camry man68]

interesting, but they are car companies that make their own turbos right?
