Can you turbo a 3rd gen 3sge - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #91732 8 posts Started by njccmd2002
Do you want to know how?

Well im not an expert, but i recently bought this 3rd gen 3sge car that has a turbo.

While i cannot take credit for the engine set up, nor i can give you full details of the works, but I have access to the car, duh, and can post some details if there is interest.

basic stuff is a 3sge, acis disabled, evo 8 turbo, st205 ecu. It was never dynoed, but i can tell it pull harder than any beams lol. its hella fun.

however, the engine has some problems, and may need to be fixed, cracked manifold, while i may take care of that, i can find more details as i dissect this baby...

if there is interest...

This sounds interesting, I'm interested in learning about whatever you find along the way with the setup. I'm not looking to do this build, but it sparks my interest. good luck with the car Berto!

yeah as soon as i get some time. i think with good tweaking this set up can be fun, if you have the engine, never better than 3sgte tough....

I can tell you for sure that the cams are interchangable in the head because I have the N/A head on my 3sgte with turbo internals, but the valves springs are softer in the N/A. When I compared springs a while back the N/A springs compress at 40 psi and the turbo springs compress at either 60 or 80, I don't remember. Other than that the cams are different between the heads, I put turbo cams in along with stock turbo springs (compared them to ferrea dual coil and the stock turbo springs were better). The 3sgte fuel rail also fits with some customization, I forget what I did but I might be able to slide my snake camera in a record some video id you are interested enough. Valve cover from 3sgte also fits with some mods.
