yea no prob bryan I knew what you ment

My personal opinion, if your goal is around 200HP why not just swap in a st185 since its power at the wheels is around that? Its easier, cheaper, and in the long run you car will last longer. I can understand if you have to pass certain emission laws and all depending where you are at, as in Cali. But honestly, turboing a N/A you are just destroying it. Thats like taking a 5year old child with ADD or ADHD and giving him a bottle of speed and a hit of ectasy! You are just killing it because the body wasn't ment for that kind of punishment. Not only that but most people have a engine with high miles on it as it is. Why spend several grand on a engine that is gonna die in a year or two anyways? (maybe a lil longer). When you can swap in a JDM st185 and get a better gain, more reliability, and cheaper? Also, for the problems with the swaps, the only problems with doing it is f0cking up on the wiring harness, as for that you are set. The A/C problem on the swaps has been figured out so that your A/C-Heater will work. So boys and girls, lets face it, it is more feasible to swap than turbo N/A engines. Its like feeding heroin to a baby! All and all, Turbo N/A=Blown Motor/waste of money............Swap=Cheaper/reliability

NEVERSTOP

I am apologizing outright. I acted like a kid but i respect your knowledge on cars but you need to know I wasnt flamming you.

I also learned alot from this site, and I feel properly doing the 5SFTE would be the best thing, reasons for not doing 3sgte.....
I have an automatic-not a fan tranny swaps.
Inspection in MD would be suicide
The mechanics in would be "iffy at best" I need complete assurance
Altered Atmosphere(fasttest VR-4 home) wants it for a month
They wanna do a stand alone(how would Mike do my wires) I dissconnect every wire from both cars?

I know the 3sgte could be a monster, but my location and tranny just stop me from it all.

rebuild and turbo the 7A kid...we all know the 7afe is a boost-happy motor. that one guy from celica.net (forget his name) boosted 12psi or somethin and nothin ever happened, and that was on a stock motor. also, for those that don't realize it, toyota produced a 7afte, it was just never here in the states, or in japan. so, if toyota turbo'ed it for a production car, it'll be just fine and handle the boost from a home-grown kit of 5psi+, as long as it's done w/ sufficient knowledge. >>.

Other than the burien kits acsessories, and intercooler/pipping-T timer-SAFCII and boost controller...what else would classify my project as well though out. I mean am i missing anything to boost reliably. Maybee a tranny coolant, I dont know thats why Im here. 7psi should be adequate taking time.

seeeeeeeeeee:

ooooo, nice...um, i'd get that supra fuel pump, or the walboro pump that's on ebay these days...just to make sure the injectors pump nice and hard...shouldn't have a problem w/ that being a kit, but me and charlie had a problem w/ his injectors being too big for his fuel system..but as i said, their kit is tried and true, but i'd add it for the few extra bucks, just to give the fuel system that little extra kick. >>.

Thanks much mynzeyes, Ill for sure hook it up. Another piece of the jig saw done >>

5sfeturbo.....Find me On AIM I am in MD and also turboing my 5sfe, you should deff get a msd btm to control your timing.
