Before you guys put on your turbo kits, what things did you do to your engines to keep running safely. I'm seriously considering turboing my car at 4-6PSI regularly and occasionlly using an 8PSI as a high boost. What kinds precations should I take for this boost level??
7ATFE - 6G Celicas Forums
Just keep it up to date maintance wise; make sure everything's always running smoothly.. etc.. Thats not a very high boost level; you should be fine.
hey shid when you finally going to turbo your car? my car is done pic on my car domain in one sec its going to the dyno shop tomorrow to be tuned

> Taking your sweet time. I expect to start at latest December 12th, and finish, at latest, July 20th. But in all reality, it'll probably be done in one weekend before the 12th sometime
Nik, looking nice.. Engine dressing kit might be a little too much without custom paint on the manifolds and stuff. ct26 turbo? No intercooler?

Ahh, you do have a FMIC, my mistake >
> Nice job avoiding the heat from the exhaust manifold after the FMIC btw
I also hear that if you have the BOV right after the intercooler exit, it sounds cooler.. dont know about that...

Do I need forged pistons and rods??
For 6 psi? hellz no
And if I put it up to 8psi occasionally is that still fine? Thanks for the info, much appreciated.
every now and then it SHOULD be fine. I'm not sure running 8 psi all the time- depends on the condition of your engine
Any of the 7afte guys know? I'm a 5sfe man myself >>

yea your 3sgte is cool but ill stick to my 7agte
turboed 7a's make between 160 and 180 whp. that's the range I've seen...

Forkee, those don't work that well- and it still won't show your hp because your acceleration etc is based off the cars weight, aerodynamics, etc.
Nothing beats a good dynotune

How much does this run to turbo the car? I cant really see myself doing it, but it looks cool.
My Celica is for Sale!!! Click ME!
i'm about $1850 deep so far not bad a kit for the rolla is like $3000-$4000 dont quote me on prices i would say just gather all the parts go custom its cheaper on our cars
