turbo avalon???

[BigLuigi11889]

in got an 97 avy... i plan on doin big things to my car upon on of those things being a turbo chrger from a toyota supra.... i can get all the custom pipping, maybe bigger injectors and eventually the exhuast.... my question is can the tranny hold the boost? i plan on running low boost nothing big.

what kind of numbers are you looking at pushing? i dont see why it couldnt especially if you tune it to spool up slow, (although that would somewhat defeat the purpose) but i am sure if you wanted to be 100% sure you could get your tranny rebuilt stronger with tougher internals and all. but what the hey, the tranny is on a lot of vehicles (camry,solara,sienna) go to a junk yard, pull one, bolt it up and destroy that one instead of your good one and just see.

it could definitly be done and has been done before on the V6 camry. Personally, I think there are other cars much more suitable for doing this, but if you really wanna stand out, I say go for it man!

I can picture it already, you roll up to the new G37 with some rich guy with his gf .... fly past him... he'll be like "wtf just happened?"

Good luck there, Big Luigi. It is going to take a huge effort to match the turbo setup off of a straight 6 and get it to work on a V6. In fact, it probably cannot be done without tremendous cost, effort and problems.

You might look at the supercharger kits for the V6 truck that might use the same engine. A supercharger is superior, in most cases, to a turbocharger anyway.

i dont mean the same setup i mean using the turbo that came off it... the thing bout it is thats its an oem toyota turbo

Are you sure the guy in the G37 was paying attention to the road with his girlfriend next to him? I guess not.
