Hey I was wondering if it was possable to put a toyota celica alltrac turbo in my 88 celica GT-S? and anyother ideas on where i could get a turbo kit for this car and a little bit on how to put it all in...
THANKS celicawizerd!

Yes, you can swap the engine. You have a 3SGE, the alltrac uses the 3SGTE. Research up on what engine codes mean, and what all is involved. Extremely short version: engine, wiring, ECU, as well as any small things that may need to be swapped over. plenty of information is out there by many people who have done the work. As for a turbo kit, usually the only cars that they are put together for are only the most popularly modified ones and often times you can do better buying seperately, mostly you'd have to gather everything yourself.

possibly.. but ECU / harness would be different. the ECU would be tuned to the 3SGTE. if your compression is off on the 3sGTE it's not a correct tune. GL.

Yes bolts up just fine. Get the ecu tune for you have higher compression.
