Well, I know my place is in the corolla forums, so this is just a "wondering" type of question
I remember that the tC has a 2.4 liter 4 that came out of the camry. If the engines are the same (2AZ?) then why can't all the performance parts, including the turbo kits that are out for the TC fit on Camry's with the 2AZ? Thanks.
I think just to be safe I'd put the forged pistons from the Tc (stock) before throwing on a turbo kit....or is the bores different? because its a camry, would the ECU matter when installing one of those kits? sorry for the questions Im thinking of getting a new 07 camry in the future....2.4 with a 5 speed manual!

why not get that 3.5 with 268 hp? youll be spanking v6 accords all day.
why would turbo a camry anyways.. if you want turbo.. spend a little more than a camry and buy a used Evo or something.
You sure the tC has forged pistons? And why would they only do it for them?
Most of the tC kit is interchangable w/ the camry, but because of how they put the engine bay together, the piping cannot be shared. But I believe everything else is interchangable.

Well, for one, I can afford an EVO, new or used....retail on a used one is still like 25-26K. And if im correct, there is a few people on this forum that has turbo camry's and from what I've heard, they're kicking ass out there....So if the motors are the same, why not go ahead and try and see if it'll work? And, I like my gas mileage....and my comfort....and the EVO has very little of both...I like the new camry because it looks sporty and closely resembles a IS250...but when the time comes, ill think of selling my corolla wagon and think about getting one of those.
Once you're turboed, Your gasmilage will go down the drain.
Edit: Also, They aren't really "kicking ass." The top camry, is probably only a 13 second car. They are good numbers, but for the price, it may not be worth it to you.
The ones we got here are pretty awesome, but they have come at a price. Motors have blown and cash has also been blown.
I also hope you know, if you want to turbo the gen 6, or even the gen 5, You will be a pioneer and you will have absolutely no first hand help. Most people can try to guide you, but because nobody's done it, you will have no definitive answers.

The gas mileage on the EVO is like an average of 18-20 mpg? the camry 2.4 is like 24-25 average? The turbo should'nt have that much of an impact on the gas mileage, would it?
You need to do a lot more research. It doesn't even have to be extensive, you just have to understand how turbo's work.
But because I'm a nice guy, I will give you the simplified version:
-Motors work through a combustion of air and fuel in the cylinders. Each blast creates power and makes your car move. A turbo takes in air and forces it into the cylinder, making a more potent mixture. By adding more gas and air into each cylinder, the blast is bigger, thus you get more power.
Your engine will consume much more fuel when turboed. That is why most kits come with some type of fuel management system.

Dont get me wrong, I know how turbo's work, and whats required to properly tune a turboed car.....so youre saying that if its properly tuned, it wont consume THAT MUCH fuel?
