Camry & Solara LoungeDiscussion area for every generation of Toyota's family car, the Toyota Camry. Lexus ES250/300 owners welcome! Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance and more.
Here are some bling bling intercooler pics The Intercooler is a Precision unit with a high flow Garrett core... It is known to support at least 650HP, and even more with good air circulation...
The good part is that is is only $500! Gotta love buying from the Honda guys with my already known reputation there so I was entitled to some amazing discounts Usually intercoolers in my size are at least $800+, and with a nice core (no Spearco junk), they go upwards of $1000!
Feel free to comment

Yep, those numbers were dyno'd with the stock CT-26... 2.25" exhaust, stock cat, stock MAF and knock sensor malfuntioning...haha! I was actually dissapointed with the numbers that time with my setup being intercooled and being a bigger motor.
You have to take into account that my motor is a 1MZ-FE (3.0L), and the 3S-GTE is 2.0L. More displacement will automatically make more power compared to a smaller motor even though they are running the same turbos. The 1MZ-FE compression is also a lot higher, being at 10.5:1 CR... techincally speaking, higher compression makes a huge difference for HP/psi of boost
Anyway, I never got a chance to test it on the track.... the transmission went to heaven too soon Next season you will see it running again, but power should be at least 450+ WHP with a transmission that could take the power. I want to break some records for the Camry community!

u should come out with us to st.thomas sometime....i usually head up with johnson when he rents out the track for test/tuning his cars.....i can't wait to see how my car runs with a better clutch.....hoping to hit 12s......
u've got an awesome set up there....pure sleeper if nobody sees the FMIC.....
dude tony... I cant wait for your car to be running ... JUst try to keep it together, so I can get my car running and hopefully meet up somewhere in the middle and do a East vs West run...4 vs 6... 5 spd vs Auto... That would be cool and make it into a Nation Wide Camry meet at the same time... Let me know what you think...
Yep, the car will be automatic... I won't go 5spd just because my goal is mostly to go fast in straightline on the streets and at the track... A 5spd will definitely slow me down, although the car would be a lot more fun to drive. But I can always drive my Integra if I feel like driving a 5spd
The car is definitely a sleeper, but I don't want to make it TOO sleeper... I can always get my intercooler anodized black and put back the stock front bumper and rip off my "V6" badge But I want some bling this time... My previous project car is a 12 sec all motor Integra, and I kept it too simple and clean... It looks like stock with lowering and black wheels... Good for street runs, but sometimes it gets too little attention.
I want to have some "show" this time in the Camry; mainly because my Camry started off as being more of a show car anyways
Hey Wraith, I would be so eager to meet up whenever our cars are completed...! But arranging this type of meet won't be easy with us being so far apart though... Where exactly are you from again, Justin? What's a good halfway point between Toronto, Ontario Canade and your location? This place has to be a reasonable driving trip too... I have a feeling it won't be easy

I live in souther cali... but if giving enough of a month in advance notice ... will be able to meet you half way ... Like Chi-Town or something ...
Tony, if you don't mind I'd like some more information on how exactly you set up your turbocharger. I'd like more information and I'd also like to know how much boost the stock internals are actually capable of holding. I was seriously considering the 1MZ swap in my gen2, but now I may just put a 2VZ in and turbo it. This would be much easier in a gen2 and I might even get a manual despite all of the tranny work I've done. Thank you for any help you can offer me.
