6G Celicas Forums

I ordered my 2nd gen 3sgte and i was wondering where to get the turbo kit and FMIC to fit this car, lol it might be a dumb question but like i said earlier i am alittle new to the 6gen, thank you!

you ordered a factory turbo motor, and you want to know where to buy a turbo? you realize the 3sgte comes with a turbo, right?

We all have to start somewhere...smiles. For Art's sake, let me ask you this: did you buy an engine or a clip? Also, since you mentioned "turbo KIT", I will assume you meant that you wanted to upgrade your stock turbo. In order to intelligently answer that question, you have to tell us how you intend to drive your car (street, strip, autocross, etc.) and your goals.

i meant uprade the turbo and intercooler and piping, is it all custom made stuff? because i cant find upgrades for this engine..maybe im just blind

your gonna need to make your own intercooler setup, there are no "pre made" kits for the 6th gen.
youll have to buy your own intercooler, and piping, couplers and clamps. and BOV.
for turbo upgrades, its like jay said, we need more info to help you better.
heres a couple sites to get you started.
www.atsracing.com
www.koracing.com

what i wanted most was a car i mainly use for drag type purposes, around here alot of people work on cars and im really getting into my 6gen, i have the base engine and bought the swap already, basically i want a bigger turbo, maybe T3/4. i just wanted to know acouple of good places to get it done. im not exactly skilled in metal work. we have a drag strip that they hold monthly races at and i would like to survive at least the first acouple rounds .

Are you willing to spend money on a new computer and fuel system? What are your hp goals? What is your budget? Answer these questions and we can make some good recommendations.

i want around 275-300 hp, i am willing to spend up to around 10,000 on the motor. I bought a 3rd gen 3sgte swap but its just not powerfull enough. yes im ok with buying new fuel system and CPU.

well, for 275-300hp on the 3rd gen, all you need is a good intake, 3" turbo back exhaust, and a boost controller.

Do you have the motor installed? If not, do that first with the stock turbo and the mods Manny suggests. (Watch your a/f ratios) You would be surprised at how fast it is. Then, if you want more power, you will need to look at injectors, ems, and turbo. What tranny are you running?

$10000 just on the motor!?! If i was you this is what i would do with 10 g's:

3" DP, 3"exhaust, FMIC (unless you got st205 w2a in your swap - then i would just get better HE), gauges (oil psi, boost and egt or wideband o2), Power FC or nemesis EMS(tuned by gen3 pro such as brian moore) water injection, that should allow you to run close to 300whp on pump gas and bit over 300whp on race gas, quite reliably, and you still have a stock turbo that you can upgrade to steel turbine wheel for more reliability. All that would be in a ballpark of $3500. You could upgrade the fuel and get a turbo kit and push even more power but it gets more pointless as you start wasting money on forged goodies and rebuilds to push massive power on FWD car.. Besides you probably will need better tranny so i would get ss3 tranny with lsd, also good tires on wide wheels, custom traction bar, traction control and aftermarket clutch, would be a good way to spend next $3000-4000

With remaining $3000-4000 i would get tein coilovers+edfc, jdm tails lights, projectors gt4 hood, gt4 bumper+any gt4 front lip, tint windows, and a taco supreme and your good to go

With $10,000, you could build a motor that supports 500+ hp with ease. Of course, your reliability at those levels will be way down.

Not to mention that 500whp fwd car will get wasted by 300-350awhp car on a street, so it is a big waste of money, might as well attempt awd conversion DO IT DO IT DO IT

i thought about using the extra 4,000-5,000 on buying the JDM GT-Four from japan, and have 2 3s-gte

But i was wondering about these AWD trannys that come with the JDM 3s-gte, can i get the FWD tranny?

your going to want to use the mr2 E-153 lsd tranny...converted to FWD
and i'd suggest the KO racing gen3 kit for about 2300$ in total..spend a nice amount on a set of hoosiers that are about 12" wide and have fun
