MR2 Turbo Manifold
MR2 Stock Turbo
MR2 SMIC
MSD BTM [ or somin like that] [its alte]
Toyota Supra Green Top Injectors
stealthmode oil lines.
and of course piping, duh [i gots welding/bending hookup y0.]
Apexi SAFC

maybe the 3s oil pan, not sure if it will fit but save me trouble of tapping the stock one =p

custom exhaust work.
and a boost guage.

and the cheapest working bov i can find that works ok.

ive heard there are problems concerning the 5sfe head for boost tho. as in after a year, KABOOM. =x i dont think i would need forged pistons/rods for just 6-8 psi tho.

and please i am not getting the 3s swap, so bite me. i just want a working t-kit for my camry to get it a little more edge. when i do this i will replace wires/plugs , water and oil pumps, as well as the timing belt, with all new fluids too.

please provide feedback,

-Ryan

MAP sensor: Look for one from a MR2 Turbo.

Fuel pump: Walbro

Boost controller: HKS, Greddy, Apexi, Blitz. Their electronic though.

You will need an intercooler if your going to handle anything more than 6 psi.

If you are getting a new new (2 bar instead of 1 bar) MAP sensor, you will need to get the matched injectors to go with it otherwise you will run wayyyyy lean. Make sure to do lots of research before you go through with this.

hey i have most if not all the parts that you need. also it does sond like you need to do much more research before you start to buy stuff. also your head will not blow up after a year of boost, i dont know where you heard that from. let me know what you need.

My 5sfe solara been turboed almost 50000 miles and drove more than 2 years. it still runs fine

before tunning i was running at 4psi, after tunning i am running at 8 psi. I think there still alot of room to improve the tunning, i am gonna retune my computer after August.

it will be better if you can get a eletrical fuel management system (S-AFC, E-manage, split second..etc). you should also need to know where can you get cusom GOOD intercooler pipes and downpipes.

turbo timer will also helps. and check your cooling system still works wonderfully. Air fuel ratio gauge will help you monitor how the air fuel mixture going. exhaust gas temperature will also help yout monitor the disorder. go to mr2 forum and find out more about turbo project

Yes btw good luck for finding a used map sensor (turbo pressure sensor). I needed MONTHS to find one

Well ok i have a 1g Talon BOV.... i am peicing mine to lol!!!!.....Ok well should i go side mount or front???
Because I am doing a CT-26 turbo and then 360cc injectors and run 8psi ....I am getting all the other good like MR2- Map, Manifold, and then 2.5 cat back and change my compression to 8.5:1... S-AFC...Getting a 3 gauge pillar(with A/F,Boost, Volt... and in the mid with my Oil pressure...and something else lol) not sure what else i need to get?

I heard it was better for you car to change it because 9.5:1 is kinda high for turbo

that sucks i have one i need to get rid of.

camrywhat?- it depends on how much boost you are going to run. for 8 pounds 9.5 shouldnt be bad with tuning. if you want to run boost from maybe 12 and higher then i would lower the comp ratio. if you plan to keep the boost around 10, because once you get a free flowing exhaust the boost on the ct26 rises, i would probably get aftermarket pistons and rods just for longevity purposes. just remember tuning is the key.

Boost, EGT and Oil Pressure are often quoted as the most important gauges for a turbo. Fuel pressure is important if you run a rising rate fuel pressure regulator. A wide-band O2 sensor/gauge would also be very good, but they are quite expensive. A standard A/F gauge is pretty much worthless.
