why go with a turbo and have to do all of the custom work involved...TRD makes a supercharger for your car....though the 400 whp bit is a little more like a pipe dream....find posts by Tony the Tiger....he did the turbo and knows MZ's like no ones business

 

TRD supercharger only let you run at stock boost(5psi) right?

 

Yeah and roughly 240whp.

 

BTW, isn't there a guy in Hawaii that also has that Turbo set up in his V6 solara?

Turbos have more potential.

And tho Tony could help a little, he has a gen 3. This sort of thing hasn't ever been done on a gen 4 so a lot of this stuff he'll be on his own. We can try to help you out but nobody has first hand experience.

I think you can run higher. You have to get another pulley and stuff but i remember somebody saying they were running like 7-8 psi.

 

smaller pulleys are available and will yield more HP...

gotta find the post about it...

 

Just wait till Shiftgate comes out with em..they will be out by summer according to one of the head guys, itll have everything u need supposedly...im waiting on the 3vz-fe one

 

If anyone could help me, I'd really appreciate it, I'm 100% serious about this, so please don't think I'm some stupid kid.

Do a search for Tony the Tiger

 

with the S/C, don't forget about URD's performance kit:

With a supercharger, you can go as high as 6lbs without changing the internals. You need to upgrade the fuel delivery, otherwise the engine runs lean. Also, the knock sensors will blow. Supposedly the whine from the supercharger is close enough to the same note for knocking and sets them off. The URD kit helps, but you need to upgrade the fuel lines to the fuel rails. They are restrictive. Even after the URD kit installed, the engine still ran lean. Once I added Jim's fuel upgrade, The car started running rich. Many who have gone to 7lbs have had problems with internals.

 

No one offers a bolt on turbo kit so first thing you need to do is find a local shop that you can trust, who can custom build one for you. Next you need to get your bottom end built because the stock rods and pistons arent boost friendly. Finally you are going to need to take care of fuel control which will also mostly be custom. Its not terribly difficult to turbocharge these motors but you need to know what your doing or have the money to pay someone who does.

My best advice is to get searching on this site as well as Solaraguy.com. Even though you dont own a Solara, a lot of the same principles apply since both cars share the 1mz-fe.

 

Well I definately don't have enough money to pay a shop to do any labor, I'm planning on doing everything myself. Does anyone know what turbo I should get that can produce 400+ hp, and do you think that running 15-25 psi would get me up to that much horsepower? Also, what engine parts from a Supra can I use on my Camry? I heard the injectors will fit right in, so I was interested in taking parts off of a Supra and using them on my Camry. Thanks for the help.

 

I'm waiting on the T/C from SG as well... Better start saving up i suppose.

 

your not going to find alot of "Drop in parts" and your gona be looking at around a t66 i belive tony has that .. supras had a t26. i cant rember about the injectors, and you can makeshift the fuel pump if you need to for the more fuel.

since your prolly not going to find parts from the prototype 1mz-bg your going to have to custom make your turbo headers. so your going to need a welder and some welding skills, or a compitant shop to make it. dont cheap out on having a shop make the headers, they have to be EQUIL length to the turbo from the front to the back. and your going to have to redo the exaust.

do a google search because i think i read that they can use the rods from the 22r with a lil mod to it and those rods are forge and cheap from a junk yard.

look at an aftermarket fuel regulator now (search the site)

aftermartket fuel management (search the site)

and if your gona be throwing down that much hp look at the big break kit we made on the site (supra roters to fit)

also the tranny you want is the E151

 

there is a thread already stating that they discontinued the 1MZ supercharger :sosad: hope you have a 4cyl. turbo may start bein the only option if people arent backing the TRD SC anymore.

 

BTW, isn't there a guy in Hawaii that also has that Turbo set up in his V6 solara?

Yes I believe he had a shop do it but I think he sold it recently.

 

I'm still a newbie to turbos and all that, so I need help and advice on what all I should buy so that putting a turbo on my car is possible. I also have no clue how to put on a turbo so I need help with that too.

You need all this help but are planning to do the work all yourself? If you're really serious about this, visit threads on solaraguy.com with posts by JoeB. He also posts on this board but more information about his build is on SG. He has a fully built engine and runs the TRD supercharger with a small shot of nitrous all on the auto tranny. He's recently broke the mythical 300 whp barrier and holds the first position on the Camry/Solara 1/4. He is extemely helpful. He is the guy to ask about the gen 4 1mz. Tony is the guy to ask about the 1mz turbo. Good luck with your project.

 

I just moved out of cincy last summer -- too bad, would have loved to have helped you with that

 

*day dreams* mmmm...a camry with blow-off valves...*drools*

Would a Greddy Evo II Catback exhaust work good if I turboed my engine? Also, are any aftermarket headers already equal length? I know a lot of people talk about JP Performance headers, I was wondering about that. I've never welded before, and I think if I tried to, I wouldn't be able to get all my headers to be equal length. About fuel management, would 740cc injectors and two 255 Walbro fuel pumps be a good choice? My last question, I heard somewhere that if you were going to put a turbo on a Camry, the best thing to do is to go with a "stand alone". I'm thinking this is engine management, and it will take care of my ECU lessening my engine's power. Is this correct? Thanks again for the help.

 

holy shit you sound like the fast and the furious!



time to hit the book

 

I think somebody's gotta do some more reading/research on his own still... :

 

1. The turbo v6 solara ran into many problem and the owner sold the car

2. you need to do more search. many of those questions already asked and answered. anyway, you are looking at a project will cost you at leats $7000 to runs right. you may take short cut and risk your ass. Tony the tiger's car would be your best rule model.


with 744 injector your car would idle funny. stand alone computer is the best way but it cost lots of money.

-I'm not familiar w/ it but you would probably want to run 2.5-3 inch piping. Larger piping relieves backend pressure.

-You can't run aftermarket headers w/ turbo. So don't get them.

-I don't know about the injectors. Talk to Tony The Tiger, he could probably point you in the right direction. I think Zoni could hlp you too.

-Standalone is indeed a Engine Mangement System. It's programable. You hook it up to your laptop and you can custom tune your ecu. These run for about $1000. Very expensive, but worth it.

Who is the "owner"?

And I agree. You'd probably have to spend 7000 dollars. But I strongly advise you to invest in forged internals and pistons etc. Beef everything up so you can get ultimate potential and you won't risk the chance of your motor blowing.
