Hey all, The girl ive been with for a few years now picked up a 97 celica gts from an X boss of mine, and now that she has had it for a year, and me doing the work on it and helpingher pick out some parts for it, We want to turbo it.
Me being a Nisdan guy with a S13 240, It's different from the old easy SR20 swap or RB and ca, etc. Anyways my questions are, -what kind of turbo parts from other celicas can we use ? ( 3sgte manifold )? -Is it a tough job to do on the 97 gts, ( no air lot's of space ) -The car has 190k at low boost would it be ok to run a turbo set up? -IS there anywhere that makes a decently priced complete turbo kit? |

First check out the stickys under FORCED INDUCTION
Then:  After that, ask questions (again, i'm not being mean) And to answer your questions directly: Depends on what engine you have (Canadian GTS is 5sfe?) No harder than the rest (except for the already turbo-charged GT-4) Low boost should be okay, but look into a rebuild soon. No Kit is avalible. -------------------- QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 6, 2010 - 6:16 AM) Via FB: fcuking awsome!!! D-man FTW! QUOTE (DEATH @ Nov 11, 2008 - 5:40 PM) Damn D-Man - most impressive.

You're asking if you can run boost on a 190k mile motor. If you are a car guy you would know that a healthy motor isn't told by the mileage on it. Its told from a leak down test and a little on a compression test.
Talking about swapping in sr20's in a 240 being easy, the 3s swap is easy. -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer
94 Celica st black DD (bad weather beater)- totaled deer 95 Celica gt silver- chassis sold 88 Celica All-Trac (Burned to a crisp) 94 Celica gt white (sold) In need of a rust free chassis!!!! |
