hey i don't know much about turboes so this may sound like sort of a wierd question. but would a t25 turbo fit my ae101? i have someone that will sell me a rebuilt one real cheap. if not then why?

The T25 is actually a pretty small turbo, even for the 4A-FE. It'd fit, you'd probably even have instant boost off of idle. Thing would get to full boost fast, but it'd likely top out really fast, too.

so it would fit tho? and i have a 7-afe

Yeah, any turbo will fit if you've got the correct flange. If you don't plan on running a lot of boost, this just might be the turbo for you.

my only concern is it if it will give me enough boost to put my cousins 92 civic(with integra gsr engine swap) under my feet?

lifeisviewtiful · 03-03-2005, 10:49 AM

coupled with a healthy 4age swap of course

oh lso about how much added hp are we lookin at here?

Too many variables to give you any number, dude. But given you've got an auto and 7A-FE, if you just beef up your transmission, you would probably be faster than you would be with a 5spd 4A-GE.

beefing up my transmission meaning changing it for a mt or getting a different auto from another model?

4Aaron GE · 03-03-2005, 12:02 PM

sending it out to get reinforced. A friend of mine who had a boosted 4A-FE had to get his done because it ate through two of them.

wow. thats must have been some serious cash. so hiw was his boosted 4afe was it real fast, just fast, aight or what? also what do they do exactly when they "reinforce it?

along with the tranny what kind of affect would boosting have on the torque converter?

If you want to know about reinforcing the tranny, check out Tony the Tiger's set-up. You can seaqrch for threads by him in the hardcore/tech forum. He has a site link in his sig with info about his turbo camry and the built A/T. Basically it gets reinforced to handle more power without breaking , and the Torque converter can be made high-stall so that you can break-boost off the line...
