6G Celicas Forums

I'm on a roll n already made $230 in a couple days, I'm pretty sure that's a decent start

i think i should just do a 3sgte swap instead of turbo mine,....idk

Save your pennies, do your homework, and re-evaluate your goals. are you after a fast car? do you want to turbo this car just so you can say you turbo'ed it? What are your HP goals? can you afford to be without this car for a few days when something breaks?

These are all valid questions you need to straighten out before you accidently get in over your head.

With that said, welcome, good luck, and enjoy the ride.

im just now getting into the race scene, my friends drive fast cars,and i wanna go faster.

I highly doubt your celi will ever be as fast as a evo unless u convert it to awd and such just my opinion. I've been reading and searching this site on swaps, parts, prices, ext. I think if you want it done right you need around 5K or so. So just save I've been saving for about 4 months and have about 3K so just save save save.

The 5sfte is an AMAZING setup. It is tons of fun, and if you arent looking to be the fastest guy on the block...you will enjoy it for years to come.

We pushed SuperShannon77's car up to 285whp and 300ftlbs (340hp 369ftlbs) at 17psi and the car was A LOT of fun. I understand that a swap isnt for everybody, as I was there was once also. I felt more confident in my abilities to turbo Shannons 5sfe then to swap the motor at that point in time.

If you are looking for a COMPLETE turbo kit from oil filter relocation, injection, SAFC, turbo, custom DP, etc...I am selling the turbo kit off of Shannons car for 1200 shipped for everything. PM if you are interested.

^ Whats amazing is that those numbers are coming from an unopened 5sfe long block.

another place to source parts is MR2oc.com i have found several stock manifolds for about 20-50 bucks, CT-26s go for about 100. its the piping that will be your biggest expense.

Jim's kit is perfect for you, its a complete starter kit.

Would you be able to give me a detailed list of parts I would need to turbo my car. Its a stock 5sfe 2.2 GT. I dont want to rebuild my engine. and I want the most possible power out of it. Would really appreciate some help from the vets!!

There's already a ton of threads on this. Perhaps one of the more complete threads is Manny's thread (presure2) although a quick search for '5sfte' in the forced induction thread should give you a good starting point.

thanks alot Ive been looking......but I'm hoping to find someone who has already done it and is thrilled with there results to kinda give me a step by step. Im happy with the stock numbers but I know these cars can do some serious damage to the competion when turboed.

I'm pretty sure that everyone who has done this is thrilled with the results. looking in their build threads should give you the step by step that you're looking for.

search 5sfte you will get all the info and dyno sheets you will need. it is your job to do research ppl are not going to hold your hand the whole way through it.

No doubt I tototaly get that, once i figure out wat im willing to spend im gonna try to come up my own parts list. I'm reading pressures forum rite now, and Im comparing it to Shannons kit. i should no what I want by june

Pressure helped with the build of Shannons kit. And I'm pretty sure her kit is 99% of what you need. I think the only part not in there is the exhaust from the dp to the back of the car. And of course you would have to go and have it tuned.

Ok I'll let you know. I wanna makesure shes healthy before I spend the money for turbo parts. If something is wrong I need to handle that first. Besides that, do I really have to relocate the oil filter? Imma little scared about that.

You will not find a more complete turbo kit then the one I am selling.

As for relocating the oil filter...it all depends on your turbo kit design...but for the most part, yes you will have to relocate it. And my kit comes with an oil filter relocation kit.
