[jcaron9gt4]

hey guys....so this weekend i officially started my turbo project. After many months of researching and buying parts, me and my friend started on this thing. Ive bought just about everything except an oil pan so far. Lots of help so far from Manny, and i'm sure we'll be calling on him a lot more, as the project goes on ...hope you dont mind manny lol. So we got most of the wiring done this weekend, wiring up the Safc ll and my gauges. Ill try to keep you guys posted as this thing gets more underway...Im at school, and can only come home on the weekends to work on it, so i'm hopin to have this done by the end of April. For now, here's a few pics of the stuff i've got so far...minus the injectors, pipes, manifold, MAP sensor, and oil lines...which are all being delivered by tomorrow or tuesday.


Intercooler...supposed to be 28x5.5x3, but they messed up and sent me one thats about 7 inches tall. W.e, it fits and doesnt look bad, so im keepin it.


Stock 3sgte downpipe, so i can be legal for now


Oil feed line and fittings from stealthmode. $40 shipped for everything you see


-3an fittings from ebay for 2 bucks a peice


255 Supra Walbro fuel pump

I bought the intercooler off ebay...its a JDM Sport FMIC Intercooler 28x7x3 with 2.5 intlets

The gauges im not too sure about...i read some mixed reviews, mostly good ones, but some people didnt like them.

I am almost positive that the oil filter has to be moved...You can fit a downpipe on without moving the filter, however, you'll never be able to get the filter off to change your oil....theres just not enough room.

Yes. That's a Camry engine bay. There is a motor mount in the way of a normal 3s-gte downpipe. It attaches to the front of the block. The 5s-fte Camry guys (93-up) have to run piping like that - though I have seen many better versions (2.5" mandrel bent following the same route).

I had a 3s-fte in my Camry beforehand and never relocated the oil filter - it can be done with a custom downpipe. Just don't plan on doing an oil change when the motor is hot!
