How to Turbo the Camry - 5s-fTe tips and information

[diengcamry]

I've been reading this thread and yesterday I was talking to a buddy from work and he has a T3/T4 hybrid, turbo XS BOV, an intercooler, 4 autometer guages and a bunch of other misc things all new in box. The car it was going on burnt to the ground before install and now he wants to sell all for $500. The manifold, down pipe and intercooler pipes are for an Acura motor so they would be useless but the turbo and other universal stuff has my interest. Do you guys think $500 is a fair price and would the T3/T4 be too much? It has a plate on the turbo that says .63 and .57 if I remember correctly. I may be able to get pics on Tuesday when I go beack to work. Should I get it even if I just sit on the parts for a few months?

Yeah it should be worth it, but depending on how much boost you plan on runing anything over 8psi and you willn't be producing boost until about 2000 rpm. The downpipe should be used because it probably matches the exhaust side of the turbo. You should also factor in the cost of a new cat because the you probably don't want to use one off of the 3sgte, meaning you'll need a flange to make it work. If your using a 3sgte exhaust manifold you'll also need a flange to join turbo to the manifold.

First off, you can't use even the stock 3sgte downpipe, so one off a completely different car is out of the question. The cat should come with the custom exhaust you will hopefully be getting to help it breathe better, so no flange needed. And as for the manifold flange, you can either go custom or just get one of the aftermarket t3/t4 flanges. They are readily available, some even come with a wastegate mount. But for 500 dollars, i would just pick it all up, you can save enough money just there to custom fab the parts you need to make it work.

On a completely random note, does anyone know when the TRP turbo is due? They are getting close to having one for the TC done, but i have heard no word of a gen 3 camry. I am getting close enough to show dates to start to worry that i will have to pull the trigger on my own setup that i had planned. It will just take more effort then i wanted to source the parts. Hurry TRP!

a custom manifold could be made, if desired, with a flange for an external WG... you would fabricate that to whatever size you want also

Hey by the way I redid my exhaust one day cause I was bored, Straight 3 inch dp with 2.5 inch back, 2 90 degree bends, straight thru muffler, no cat and I was boosting 10psi! I removed the wastegate actuator completely and now run the flapper wide open and it still spools up at 2500 rpms and boosts to 8psi at redline! I need to do something about it but it runs so nice that I am leaving it that way for now. It seems in OBD2 the car pulls timing on its own based on knock sensor. I am running 12.1 a/f flat across the boards tapering off to 11:1 at redline in 3rd gear on the street. No Knock, no loss in compression after thousands of boosted miles! Screw all that though I am dropping in a 3sgte now! But yeah Nathan you should add my setup to the turbo setups at the front of the sticky!

If he buys it and has listened to you then he'll be very sorry.

The reason being......?

I read alot of these posts, Would the motor out of a 3rd generation camry bolt up to a 4th gen camry both motors are the 5S but i wasnt sure if it would work due to the OBDII being in my 4th gen. I know someone with a 3rd gen turbo 5S and im gonna be trying to buy it off of him when he does a motor swap. Thanks.

What size is the wastegate to fit the mr2 manifold with the stock ct-26?

[zach5187]

I have been reading about using the 5sfe to turbo and have came across a few questions. As far as getting forged pistons and connecting rods can i get then for a 3sgte seems how they are the same block? It is going into my 1999 toy camry! What transmission will bolt directly in without modification?

Now that is a lot of brass air fittings http://www.liangdianup.com/subpages/airfitting_1.htm there is just about every type
of air fitting that you could want. Wholesale prices too. I guess these could be used as small water pipe fitting also. I
used some of the parts to make my babington wvo burner.

mmmm Not sure how far the techniques will work...lets see if m convinced surely will try

While researching the 3S-GTE it seems as if the motor mounts (from a 5SFE or 1MZFE) are in the proper location without modification to fit the 3S-GTE or is the Gen 2 with the stock 3S-GE an 'OEM' fit with the 3S-GTE? I have some thoughts in the back of my mind to one day build a track monster
