it will its a t3 turbo that will be customuzed into mine

[presure2]

you can make anything "fit" with enough time and money.
the real question is :
"will it be WORTH it?"

[playr158]

you'll need a new exhaust manifold, new ic pipe..ect. ect..

civic things don't fit celica things

i think its bigger than needed but thats not a problem.. problem is u need bigger injectors, fuel pump, map, manifold, dp, air/fuel and timing management units.. which i would think the kit doesnt have and that u need. i just went for a t28, cus im not gonna be boosting more than 8 psi, maybe if i really wanna beat someone ill go for 10 but not more than that, so i dont need a bigger turbo. but if u wanna boost around 20s then ull need the t3, but ur engine wont handle it for too long unless u work on the internals.

sorry, went a lil off track ther, but i think u should try to buy just the turbo, intercooler, bov, and maybe even the gauges. i dont think u could use anythin else from that kit.

depends on the trim and A/R of the turbo.
if you had a honda civic SI, it'd be a good deal...lol but you dont.

this type of question comes up all the time. someone who has never really done any research sees a turbo kit on ebay, or maybe one of their buddies has one, and wants to jump on a deal without knowing about what they are getting into. then we wonder why 5sfTes never lasted more then a few months in the past.

if you want to turbo your car, piece everything together yourself and learn what you need and why. trying to save a few bucks is just going to give you major problems down the road.

so its not a good deal

[playr158]

btw the T3 super 60 turbo is a perfect fit for the 7afe motor...provided you have the supporting parts but that is the turbo you would want to use

when you say super 60 do you mean a .60 commpressor and a .63 turbine ? if that is the t3 you are talking about then woot-woot i did some thing right

[trd94]

so its not a good deal

#1) 3" is WAAAAAAAAAAAY too big for your setup....2" would suit you perfectly...
#2) the T3 super 60 (the 60 trim seen here http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant...egory_Code=TBN) is always a great match up for the 7afte....
#3) ditch the SMIC and get a good FMIC, SMIC arn't very good and heat soak

[trdcelica94]

thank you guys when im done with my project ill post pics an stuff but im still in asian for a family funeral so i cant do anything to my car.

the 3" is a little big and i do get a little lag but i got them for a future upgrade .
the
link you put up does not work for me
i like the smic and to take core of the heat issue i put on a small cooling fan and a switch to turn on the fan when the car temp also i made a costom water sprayer for it when i want a little cooler air , i just dont like the way the fmic looks on my car but thanks for your info man i all way injoy any help

[playr158]

trust me nothing you can do on a 7afte denotes 3" intercooler piping...thats just poor design and planning....then lets even say you do the impossible on a 7afte and produce something over 400whp and it does need 3" piping you really think your 370cc injectors are going to work? but the smic i only speak from experience with one that i have stock its not fun..

i know the injectors will not work for that much hp but i also have a set of 660cc supra injectors and i am trying to build a 20v stroker hybrid this is why i have the 3" pipes the intercooler i will use then will be a water to air cooler i am going to custom make and fit in the fender i dont think i plan anything poorly , maybe test and learn . so i think you should sit back and think before you say such negative things i am not some 16 year old that puts a turbo on and wait for things to go boom , i dont want to sound mad or angry because i am not i just get tired of people that might be younger than me treat me like i dont know anything , i am 26 and been working on cars for the past 10 with my dad granted this is the first celica i have done ,and it has been a little more work than others ,........ thanks for the concern and help

[playr158]

i don't think your stupid or young note nothing in my post denotes that...a 20v stroker would be quiet the scene and a nice build..i still don't think you'll be making anything that needs 3" intercooler piping..
