3SGE Engine Conversion to 3SGTE, Looking for information Options

[kennygt]

Hey guys,

got my celica the way i want it to look but its lacking the power.

im intrested in having the engine turbo charged and looking at some options.

A) full engine conversion from the GT4.
B) Strip a GT4 engine and fit the turbo etc to the 3SGE engine (if possible)
C) Upgrade to a blitz turbo kit (£5.5k)

Im thinking the only way to do this would be the gt4 converion because surly more people would have turbo charged st202 if it was just the case of taking the bits needed off the GT4.

Thanks for any input in advanced.

Sure, what do you want to know?

Motor:
Rebuilt the stock motor using a set of used all-trac pistons I had lying around. Everything else on the motor is stock Toyota 3SGE parts.

Turbo:
The head is basically the same as the 205, so any turbo kit for the 205 will work, including the stock manifold/turbo. I used a Greddy knock-off and a mitsu turbo/dp.
I put a tee before the oil pressure sensor to feed the turbo. Drilled out the boss on the GE's oil pan for the return. Water lines for the turbo were linked to the throttle body's water lines.

ECU:
I used the 205 ECU and map sensor that I had sitting around (ignitor and all other sensor were the same) and re-pinned the harness to accomidate. I used a set of DSM 550 cc injectors (direct fit) for fuel. I'm using the stock Celica ST fuel pump, and its holding up so far at 8-10psi.

If I didn't have the 205 ECU, I would have looked into the PowerFC which I believe is available for the 3SGE motor. Though I'd bet the stock ECU could handle 1 bar of boost.

What exactly is DSM? did you rewire the ECU from the original ECU plug? Does the stock turbo pump 8psi standard?
