Turbo Charging my 5s-fe (95 camry)

[Layne31]

So I have a few questions before i attempt to do this, and before i proceed, I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, YES I KNOW ITS NOT PRACTICAL BUT PLEASE DONT MENTION IT OR BASH ME FOR IT BECAUSE I AM IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING A 5 speed, but for now it will wait.

Can i use this? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyot...#ht_8058wt_939

These injectors good enough? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DENSO...#ht_1872wt_904

If i want to run, lets say somewhere between 10-15 pounds of boost, do i need forged pistons?
Do i need pistons AND rods?
Do i meed a MAP sensor?
How do i re-program the ecu?
If the answer of any of these questions is yes PLEASE tell me how.
And yes i will and do have 2 transmission fluid coolers set up and i maintain it very well so that it wont explode on me so dont give me crap about it being a automatic.....
And if there is ANYTHING im forgetting PLEASE tell me...
AND PLEASE dont sugest swaping engines or transissions, dont have the time or effort.

btw im 17, dad is a ASE certified master auto technition so if anything akward needs to be done he can help me....

[Layne31]

awww come on. no one wants to help me with this????

You forgot manifolds. 15psi on the 2.2 is just not gonna happen without a lot of heavy engine work.

I would not buy a ebay kit, put together something. Its gonna be a ton of fabricating. Its a ton of work and at most youll get the v6 3.0 power.

You forgot to search the forum and read the FAQ's. This topic has been beaten to death.
I hate to be a dick, but help yourself. The info is out there and only you can learn how to build this kit. You need to learn and understand how a build works and what is beneficial/detrimental to your car.

I have the only direct bolt on turbo kit - minus the turbo - for sale.
I can bet it's out of your price range since you were trying to shop on Ebay.
But to give you some obvious info, to me at least, is that you have to pay to play.

well thank you for atleast for playing but i understand that, i already drive my 72 chevrolet truck with a supercharged ls7 with a 5 speed that i built a year ago when i got my license. dynoed freakin 603 RWHP and like 580 ftlbs of torque. insane build but since i only get 17 miles to the gallon i bought the camry and im looking to play with it. I aint looking for fast, trust me i know what fast is, ever ridden in a 6000 pound truck that is considered a 13 second a car? and its not a little dinky 1500 frame its a 3500 frame but the only year model frame that you could get with just two tires on the rear axle. 85 i think? anyway, not here to talk about that. Im not going for insanly fast or insane boost, like i said, it doest have to be 15 i could run like only 10....
And for the ebay think, was something that i randomly found, i didnt try LOL. the injectors are all over the place as well, but i do use the search functions and i still dont answers on IF I NEED THEM FOR MY SITUATION, i know what they do like the MAP sensor but i still dont know if i need forged internals or this or that, hell i dont know anything about these japanese things, im use to my truck haha.....

can you show me what the v6 engine is? like the name of it?
i bet i can run low boost through one of those crackers.....
Could i swap the 4cly for the v6? if so what would i need? im guessing wireing harness and ecu and keep everything else? or is the tranny different?

[RichieRichJP]

Ok, glad you know a bit what you're talking about.
I hate to break it to you, but you're not going to get shit out of the 5SFE.
There's a few people that have tried on the MR2 boards and as you said you did not want to do, went 5sgte, including me on my MR2; more so, the prominent garages will tell you that they dyno'd 5sfte motor builds and the power:dollar is miserable at best.
No matter what you do, you're not going to open up that head. One Celica guy got 315whp and I think he ended up blowing a headgasket. Ran a couple years at ~265whp though.
You'll definitely need forged internals, but the 5sfe rod bolts are too thin to handle boost.

+1 on swapping to v6. the only reason i see to turbo a 4cyl is for the free power it provides and maybe better gas milage.

3VZ-FE
1MZ-FE

im having a hard time understanding the differences between the motors, if i was to turbo charge one of them, which one should i turbo?
and dont they make a supercharged one?
Also what would i need for a swap

[xpeed]

You should ask Tony for those questions as he has twin-charged on the 1MZ-FE. He's now running a single HKS T51R turbo I believe at a monstrous 700+hp right now. And I believe he still using stock internals? I could be wrong, or was it stock drivetrain and transmission? Anyways, he's the guy and I think he'll be happy to help you out. But let me tell you, I can't estimate how much money he put into it, all I can say, win the lotto.

i think i will just end up swapping it for the 1mz-fe. Seems like enough power (200hp)
and ill by some dinky headers and run a striaght exhuast, lol im so redneck loud and that will prally be enough power for me. besides i bet the v6 will out run these ******s in the big ol heavy 3000gt(non turbo with the smaller engine) who think they are cool, hell i out run them with the 5s-fe HAHA....

You will be better off getting a factory v6 Camry, its a lot of work swapping one out. Easiest way to do it is to find a donor car and buy that, then swap it over.

A turbocharged factory internal 5sfe will be about as fast as a v6 is factory if youw ant to keep it reliable. Push it and it will be faster but you will have issues. The v6s are good engines but these are small dispalcement import engines not big Chevy engines where a few bolt ons and a tune can drop a full second and a half off the 1/4 time.

Tuning these can be a bitch, and thats where the power comes from.

well im lucky and my dad said he would be more than happy to do the swap with me or for me in like 2 days so time isnt really an issue. the only that would be needed would be the wireing harness and ecu if the used engine doesnt come with one, correct? everything else will be compatable such as linkages and the tranny and what knot....

[Luckynumber5]

You arent looking at the big picture;

engine ecu tranny all the supporting electronics in the engine bay the gauge cluster and likely the shifter since there are subtle differences in the 4 cylinder and v6 stuff
