Turbo For Camry without the swap of a 3SGTE

[tropic2090]

Well its been awhile since I've been talking about this but well I came to a decisions I want to make my Camry a little fast since I already read the its better to swamp but I don't have does kind of resources so I had a question I found a T3 Turbo and its only oil cooled does anyone know where I can connect this line. Second at what PSI can I run it without the intercooler? And of course to not have problems with it. Thank you guys

Ok first off, grab a fire extinguisher something is about to get burned...

If you dont have the resources to source a used 3sgte, transmission and ecu, you are going to be hard pressed to pull together a manifold, injectors, fuel pump, tuning hardware, custom exhaust setup, and the thousand various tidbits necessary to go forced induction not to mention the downtime and the labor (there will be labor costs)... good luck!

LOL Not another one.

Are you saying you want to run a T3 oil cooled turbo (wtf...??) on your standard engine, because you don't have the resources to find a used 3SGTE?? Well, you better get some contacts, because you'll be needing them when you motor blows.

There is a sticky at the top for a reason.

2. After your done with #1, use this --> http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/search.php

3. Forget about PSI. Aim for a realistic hp goal and stick with it.


All turbos use oil. Its to lubricate the bearings and also cool. Without oil a turbo would self destruct.

Some turbos also have water cooling.

word..... PSI is your least concern now, and you need more than just a turbo, you need so much more parts, i have already spent about $600 USD on my setup, and i have not even got all the parts, and also, if you plan on going with a turbo, plan on building that motor, because as soon as you run your turbo, you are bound to run into many more problems....

May I make a suggestion which I hope you consider?

Before you do anything at this point, at least install a tranny cooler in your car.

The automatic tranny is the weakest tranny known to mankind.
It's weak for a stock 3SFE, and it's even weaker for a modified 3SFE.

So if you're already doing (or have done) headwork to your engine, your still-running automatic tranny is lucky; but can also be on borrowed time.

So if you want to keep your car running as you review your options in your quest for more HP, look out for your tranny...

...unless you got money to blow in order to fix that too.
