Hi I have a st204 Celica with 5fse engine and am wanting o turbo it. I have read 1bwilson's and Shid's posts on turboing a 5sfe and list of components needed and this seems to be the best way to go. In my neck of the woods CT26 turbos are hard to come by, T3/T4 turbo is easier to sourc.e My question is what T3/T4 do I need and other than a CT26-T3/T4 adaptor is there anything else I need. I live in Australia so Mustangs and other American cars are not common here but plenty of Japanese sources. Thanks

Thanks for the replies. Firstly I live in NSW and was off P-plates 30+ years ago. Im a mechanic but didnt start my apprenticeship till I was 32 so been qualified bout 14yrs. Picked up the celica dirt cheap at council auctions for abandoned vehicles, was going to fix and sell it but decided to build myself the toy I never had as a teenager instead. Im not looking to get it standing on its head just beef it up a bit, although ct26 might be a frag to small. Am going to rebuild engine, not going to use forged pistons or rods but if there are more suitable rod bolts, big end and main bearings, valve springs etc il put them in. As for tuning solution hopefully something in the $500 range will do, if anybody has any ideas id appreciate it. Been trying to source the rx7 blue top 440cc injectors cause they are ment to drop straight in but seem rare as hens teeth. How much for one of those T3s you have Smaay-changing oil filter looks like lots of fun lol. Thanks again, any advice from people who have been there done that is always appreciated.

CT26 is good enough for around 200-220whp, all else remaining stock with 93 octane fuel and a good tune. Like I said, the good tune is what matters, and I'd personally spend more on a good computer than a "good" turbo. 2. There are no suitable rod bolts. Either you grind the 5S-FE crank down to accept 3S-GTE rods (forged or stock), or you get forged rods for the 5S-FE. 3. For $500 you can get a piggyback. Piggybacks are not that good really. Only "useful" one is the GReddy E-Manage Ultimate. I'd go for a Megasquirt-II or similar standalone instead. A good tune means both power and durability, as well as fuel economy. 4. You are looking for the RX-7 red top injectors which are high impedance. The blue tops I had never heard of being used in the 5S, and the purple top are I think 550cc and low impedance. Regardless of what you do, you should get a newer camry oil pump with the crank sensor provision, the crank sensor for it and the timing gear with the trigger wheel in it. It'll make your tuner's life a lot easier than having to deal with the stock distributor which is ****. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold
