i want to turbo my 7A-FE can anyone tell me how and what parts are needed. i went to jgstools.com and they had alot of parts listed
but i want the cheapest, best value i can find, so what type of parts would be in this "turbo". i also found sum cheap intercoolers, turbos, and a Bosch bypass valve on ebay(is that a good idea?). oh and do i need a new "turbo back" exhaust system. i relize i will need a new fuel pump too. also for the intercooler piping $299 seems alot for me can't i just got to the hardware store and buy quater inch steel tubing and bend it myself with a pipe bender? -------------------- |

ok um...as far as a turbo goes on the ST..i really wouldn't wnana do things cheap...in order to have thing go smoothly, you're gonna need an interior redone w/ things such as new 4agze pistons, rods, and what not, and maybe even a rebuild, but that'd be included w/ the new pistons and rings and all..uh... the entire fuel system is gonna need uprgrading, um...yes the exhaust should be re-done from the turbo back w/ about 2.5" to 3" piping for the most gain. also, the jgstools setup is about the cheapest you can find w/o gettin hookups from peeps, and if i were gonna do this, that's the route i would go...also, intercooler piping you COULD make, but, the kit is mandrel bent, and you really wouldn't wanna bend IC piping w/ a pipe bender and get crush-bent curves...
um...also, you would need an ignition upgrade, and all sorts of other little stuff... sure i named a lot, but if you wanna do it RIGHT...you need all this to keep the engine runnin strong. you can hook up w/ 94 st turbo or w/e from celica.net...his celica has done nothin but break down and makin noises since he turbo'd the 7afe. but don't let that discourage you...it CAN be done, you just need to be very thorough in order to make sure that everything goes smoothly. hope that helps. -John- -------------------- |
