The Turbo bug just bit me...!!!!

[ptycamry]

Sup guys...

Well, I got a visit from the Turbo Bug and it bit me...

After a lot of thinking if I should spend A LOT of money building a Turbo for my Camry or if I should sell it and get a car that's MUCH EASIER to Turbo, I decided I'll go the hard way...

So, I'm gonna ask for advices on which are the basic parts and brands I should be looking for to start collecting them to start my project, which other modifications I should start considering so I can put the Turbo in, etc, etc....

I saw the sticky for the 5S-FE but I know it will be a completely different job with the 1MZ.. Tony The Tiger, you're gonna be reading a lot of PM's from me...

I appreciate all the help I can get...

Thanks...

Good luck I hope you have a good job that pays you well, plenty of knowledge on turbo's in general and not just that, knowledge on camry's. Ive been looking into it for about 4 months now and im just buying my actual turbo, i havent even thought about manifolds or any of that.....

Just do a TRD SC... less headache and a lot less MONEY.

[ptycamry]

I'd get a TRD Supercharger if they were available... They just don't exist anymore... Haven't found them on ebay either....

[WestCoastff]

Yea ive been looking for the 1mz supercharger for about 6 months now... No luck. Ive called places on the west coast, east coast, central US, everywhere man and theres none of them to be found, it fuckin sucks!!!

used TRD s/c come up for sale quite a bit on solaraguy.org, you gotta be pretty quick to jump on em tho

[chronoti]

most used s/c on ebay dont come with the bracket or ebc either, as i learn the hard way.

i dont know much about your engine, but... your going to need

a good turbo
manifold (might be able to use the stock and route the downpipe in a good way)
injectors
oil lines
coolant lines (if the turbo uses it)
2 bar map sensor (not sure if those engine use map... i dont think so so this one is useless)
engine management
gauges
intercooler...

etc. it goes on, check out my car domain for my list of stuff needed. its for a 5sfe, but its mostly the same

try this, I saw this link for a S/C over on the sienna forum. I know it says it is for the sienna but it is the same engine. I am sure there are some things that are different but it may be worth a shot.

I clicked on that link you posted... That looks exactly the same as the Camry TRD Supercharger...

In fact, if you click the Solara link, they have the Supercharger for the Solara and it has the exact same part number....

Isn't the V6 engine in the Solara the exact same V6 engine on the Camry....????

However, the Supercharger under the Solara link costs US$3,200 and the Sienna one costs US$2,800.....

[Cyorke]

The engine is the same. However the brakcets and other parts are most likely different. I cant imagine the brackets causing that much of a difference though.

may i mention rippmods would be interested in the 1mz if you guys supply the demand...

[Stonegrave]

TRDParts.com carries both manual and automatic s/c for 4th gens.

heres the link if you can't find it.

it goes brake pads, mufflers, and then the superchargers. This is where I was planning on buying mine, I was having a hard time finding them and then i came across this site. Its a good site, lots of cool stuff. enjoy

manifold (might be able to use the stock and route the downpipe in a good way)

With a V6 you need 2 manifolds coming together at a Y pipe, both which youll probably have to have fabricated somewhere. Its not cheap, and if your doing it right youll want a O2 bung in the Y pipe....

So then they do still make the s/c for the gen 4 camry's. I am confused b/c I thought they did not make them any more.
