I got kinda bored at school today and started looking for 7a-fe turbo kits, the only ones I can see are the corollas. There should be no diff. between our engine and theirs right? So technically a corolla turbo would work on a celica st? Also, what do you guys think of turboing a car with almost 100k miles on it? I don't want anything insane, maybe 6-8 psi, just something to give the car the kick in the ass that it needs.

well sence this is alreadyt an open topic, why wouldnt you just want to do an engine swap, i mean 220hp stock.. and its made for the boost, wouldnt that make more sence?? an how much exactly are the cost for just turboing or re-build an turbo?? Thanks

if it cost the same, then yea, that would make more sense. but an engine swap? do u kno how much longer that takes? lol. ask anyone who has done it. its not a 1 day project. we're talking about car downtime enough to do alot of damage to ur schedule. especially if its your only means of transportation. after the whole swap with the 3sgte, ur looking at 4,000 bucks at the least. corolla turbo kits come to 1550 for the bare bones kits, probably bringing u to 140 or even 160 if you buy extra parts like the intercooler. plus these kits are bolt on, day jobs. 2 days at the most.

but if ur willing to spend more than twice as much moolah and can drive a rental for awhile then cool. thats really neat biggrin.gif

but i cant. my car is my baby (well 2nd to my gf) and we roll everyday. and play everyday. biggrin.gif

maybe later ill treat her to more tongue.gif

amen to forkee. unexpected stuff and setbacks. ive already gone a month without my car and i just got a new engine.
