For those that dont know me, i produce a turbo kit for the 7th gen celica. i have information all over www.newcelica.org. well i just happen to pick up a 97 GT and i will be boosting it. im going to use all my stock All-Trac stuff for manifold turbo and downpipe. what i am going to build is a FMIC kit with all the piping and etc. so my quesstion is how much demand is there for me to produce this kit? im guessing cost wil be about 600.00 including clamps, couplers, intercooler, and pipes powdercoated any color.

 $600 turbo kit? You might want to digg some info and check some stickys. Pressure2's post is absolute gold. It is not possible to turbo our cars with $600.  I've spent that much and only have half the parts, and several were free.

my fault. All this talk of kits
(there has been alot of that lately)Build and show some pics of this kit and people may be interested... Also what kind of parts will you be including in this? what kind of IC? Andysautosport can set you up 100% for close to 350-400 (with heavy shipping) -------------------- QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 6, 2010 - 6:16 AM) Via FB: fcuking awsome!!! D-man FTW!

D-Man: I assume these will be bolt on no mod kind of kits for people with slightly higher budgets than the average 5S-FTE guy. Imagine what I have on my car coming in the mail in peices coated to your color spec with instructions for installation. Actually I wish you had deeper pockets and these were already available - it would make a whole day probably disappear from our work load.

this wouldnt support the 7A-FTE because likei posted, this is for a 5S-FTE with the stock 3S-GTE manifold, turbo and CATdownpipe. it will require clocking teh turbo down, thats it. pipes and all will bolt right up

Yes I saw that it's for a 5s, but since I'm new at the turbo thing, I thought it was worth inquiring. I must have missed that part in your first post about the stock 3S-GTE manifold. Hmm. G/L w/the production and sales though.

That would only require one peice to be modified - it'd be a good start anyway. -------------------- ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 QUOTE (lagos @ Aug 25, 2010 - 10:13 AM) Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.

I'm actually part of the newcelica forum, I've been browsing for a 7th gen 6 speed gts actually. lol Smaay will be good with his word, his turbo is one of the nicest ones ive seen. His plan will make it a lot easier.
BTW smaay, which celica do you find more fun to drive? the 7th or the 6th just curious? |

I was part of the newcelica.org website too when I owned my 7th gen.
Smaay, will you be welding the piping and eliminate excess couplers? Plus it will look cleaner. -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer
