I just want some input from some people who really know their shit. Is it gonna work out for me if i throw a turbo on my 95 5sfe camry with 95,000 miles, and run about 6psi? By this i mean do you think my internals can handle it? or will it be too much pressure to where my pistons and rods will break. I plan on using the CT26, FMIC, walbro 190, 7mgte 360cc injectors, 3sgte manifold, and hopefully put in a 3sgte(E153) manual tranny. Please give me your input

yeah you do can it, i dunno how reliable its gonig to be. 6psi wouldent do any harm, but if i was going to go that length witch i am i would rebuild the motor first, beter safe then sorry.

Stock internals can handel about 6 psi.
95K miles doesn't sound too high to start a turbo project.

You may want to take this route.
Rebuild the engine and upgrade everything.
Then get forced induction.

Thats what I am thinking of doing in the future.

when you say rebuild the engine, what do you mean? is there much you can do to a 5sfe engine? i know i would have to get new pistons and rods, then what? port it? how would i go about doing this?
