turbo celica

[Turner]

i have a 1994 celica st (1.8l). i am looking to turbocharge it but am having trouble locating a kit for this aplication. if anyone has any knowledge about this project please let me know.

if i was you I would buy the stock turbo celica engine rather tha a turbo charger. There is an engine called the 3sgte that is built for turbo and is easily built up for high boost. Its the stock engine for the all trac celicas and the mr2s. Will probably be cheaper to.

i concidered that but iwas told that i would have to replace the wiring harnes and the motor mounts.

well if u get a new engine than u wil get the motor mounts and it should (unless you bu it without one) the wiring harness

^He's ST with 7A-FE. Turbo would be a bit easier then 3S swap. For 3S-GTE swap you'll need tranny, ECU, wiring, mounts maybe even axle and hub.
Look for turbo manifold and buy a turbo that fit. Or get a shop to make a manifold for the turbo you want. Try eBay.

piney does the super charger bolt on to his car?

[Turner]

im on ebay right now and all that is coming up for turbo manifolds are the one for the 3s-gte motor. will that bolt on or no? they also have one for a 2000 celica gt?

Niether of those will bolt on.
I believe the manifold from a B series Honda will bolt up. The flange at least. You will probably have to modify the piping.

What are your goals?
You might be better off doing the 3SGTE swap.
Also, just so you know, your engine is a A series [family]. 7AFE. The 3SGTE is a S series. Pretty much nothing matches up.

7A-FE Turbo Manifold
Get a shop to custom made one. I believe there maybe turbo kit, try Google.

You could always swap in a 20V they have lots of parts for them.
