hmm this thread has also brought much valuable knowledge to me as well. You guys seem to make it so easy to turbo a 5sfte. . .im pretty noob with car mechnics but learning more each day. And will probably go down the 5sfte road myself since my engine is still a young puppy

>so its ok for the mods to say that but not other people, all i said was look around, since half the people who join instantly make one of these threads, its easier for them to read than to have us bring all the links to them, plus they learn alot more (at least i did) and i said its dam near impossible to get it 200 hp keeping it NA

"You will have a very hard time modding the 5sfe 2.2L to make 200hp"

soooo i dunno what i said that was much different, ill say, i'd suggest looking at the stickies and alot of threads like pressures, blah blah blah if that sounds better
either way its saying the same thing

i have nothing against the guy, i was more abrupt than you i figured he'd get through the night


you'll NEVER see a mod on this site "tell someone off" for not using the stickys.
yes, we tell people to use them, that is what they are there for.


to the OP, i really suggest that you do read thru the stickys in the forced induction forum, jim has already covered alot of the basics for you.

hmm...i've decided to go turbo

and do a gt4 conversion on the body. now i hope im within my 10k budget and pass a vehicle inspection if i need one.
man you all talking like tubroing a car is a pieces of cake. i should higher one of you guy to turbo my car lol. but im kinda broke now so i guess i will just lay low lol.
Reading pressure2's stickies makes me kind of sad because I don't have the space to work on my car like that, nor a spare vehicle to drive to work in the mean time, nor the expendable income at the moment to invest in a project like this, BUT the tinkerer inside of me is driven nuts by the possibilities that your sticky presents before me, if only I could find the space/time/etc to do this.

yeah, in the last few weeks i've been reading upon the 5sfte sticky. overall, i think it's simple if you do it with the ct-26 turbo because everything bolts right on. it may require some custom work here and there. now i just have to find a frickin' celica!!!!!!!! laugh.gif

Man, if you are going to do a GT4 conversion and your budget is $10,000, you should look for a front clip of a GT4. Then you'd get all the body parts you need for the conversion AND the 3SGTE. You'd be killing two birds with one stone. I know you want to turbo your 5S, but if it was me, that's what I'd do.

Dude - bring your car to my house this summer, I have a huge garage, air tools, and every gadget you would need to do those certain mods you would like to have done swiftly! We'll make a inter-provincial meet out of it, I'm talking BBQ, maybe a little cruise in the backroads to the mountains for a sweet photoshoot... oh ya!
