Project Camry- Turbo Buildup- Lotta Pics
 

About 3-4 months ago I started planning my turbo setup for my 1994 V6 Toyota Camry. The car is an automatic but after I whip around with the turbo for a while i'm going to be doing a 5-spd swap.

Anyway, while looking for parts and figuring out how i'm going to do everything a friend passed this site along and I was amazed at the wealth of info!

The project is nearing completion and I'm still working on some odds and ends but it should be ready to go within the next 2 weeks. We are doing the piping tomorrow and from there we will install water injection and start installing oil lines and fuel lines.

The car is going to start boosting around 3-4 PSI until I do the tranny swap and get my forged internals. After that ill raise the boost up a bit and see how far I can go.

If you guys have anywhere else I can look for information on the topic below or have any experience please do chime in.

1. Mounting 2 extra injectors onto charge pipe, basically how to secure and seal them properly. I saw greddy has a pipe with injector holders already made but I'm not sure if any old injectors will work. I have supra injectors from a 7mgte (440cc)

Ok well it seems thats all I can remember for now. anyway... onto the parts list!

Intercooler. We went with this style becuase it made the piping much easier to route.

sweet trd sexyness buddy i would req megasquirt for ecu and managment keep us informed and post porn and some ripper video when its done

Re: Project Camry- Turbo Buildup- Lotta Pics
 

Wondering why you are running the h2o injection as well as the intercooler for a light build? Guess safety first though.. Build looks tits

Re: Project Camry- Turbo Buildup- Lotta Pics
 

Yea, I forgot to mention this is also my daily driver so I tried to take as many safety precautions as possible. After reading about all the good things water injection has to offer i decided to go for it. Plus when i'm ready to boost higher i will have all that in place already.

I was going with the greddy emanage becuase the guy who is helping me tune works with it on all his cars.

Never heard of megasquirt tho. i shall look into it.

MS > Greddy

Re: Project Camry- Turbo Buildup- Lotta Pics
 

The builds looking good. Is that a sedan or a wagon??

Re: Project Camry- Turbo Buildup- Lotta Pics
 

Tiz a sedan. Hoping to get my hands on a coupe. then ill swap everything into it.

Re: Project Camry- Turbo Buildup- Lotta Pics
 

very nice man
when you think it will be done?

Re: Project Camry- Turbo Buildup- Lotta Pics
 

an mr2 or a celica ;)

Atticus:

I'm hoping to be done within the next 2 weeks if all goes according to plan. I pretty much have all the major parts. The rest will be plug and play.. sorta.

I found one or two coupes far from me. I got to thinking after a while though I'll just keep the camry for as long as it will take me and butcher it up and learn as much as I can. After this I plan to go for a GS300 or SC300... and if anything an 85-90 supra.

So the camry is a learning experience for me.

Re: Project Camry- Turbo Buildup- Lotta Pics
 

thats coo hope it comes together with little problems
get some riper vids up when done

General comments:
1) The t3/t4 is too big for that motor, especially if you're going to just slightly boost it. A t3 would produce power a lot faster with zero downside.

2) I'm in agreement with above, why water inject? Intake temps at <6psi aren't going to be very high. Unnecessary complication.. At least until you start to push it.

3) Fuel management. Want to be safe? Work out the fuel / timing management... Megasquirt is a great solution.

Looks like you're buying decent parts are really want to pimp that ride! I wish you luck!

Re: Project Camry- Turbo Buildup- Lotta Pics
 

curry if you sell the turbo hit me up

Re: Project Camry- Turbo Buildup- Lotta Pics
 

I was told that the t3/t4 would be the one of the best bets for my motor. And would leave me in good standing when I'm ready to boost higher.

I decided to go with the water injection anyway becuase it's not that hard to install. It's controlled by the MAF. I reviewed the installation... probably about 30 minutes and another 30 minutes to get it going.

From what I've seen with our cars the ECU always runs rich. I wont even need to add on extra injectors yet... Where would you suggest I buy megasquirt from? Or which would you recommend.

Re: Project Camry- Turbo Buildup- Lotta Pics
 

here yah go check it out
http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/m...unit-p-65.html now sell me that turbo cause you are boosting below the turbos efficency for your boost levels

Re: Project Camry- Turbo Buildup- Lotta Pics
 

Thanks

I'll think about it ; ) Maybe I'll just go buy another car =P

Doesnt the emanage blue handle all that as well? I know you have to buy like an extra harness but essentially doesnt it do all that?

Re: Project Camry- Turbo Buildup- Lotta Pics
 

squirt does way more and its cheaper they provide a harnessand pins for you to make your ecu harness

Re: Project Camry- Turbo Buildup- Lotta Pics
 

Well from what I've read so far it looks like it does a lot. I dunno about cheaper. Thats listed @ 410. I can get an emange for 250 and another 15 bucks for the ingnition/timing harness.

Re: Project Camry- Turbo Buildup- Lotta Pics
 

are you talkin bout greddy e-manage it runs like 650-750 plus your boomslang type harness which is at least 100 bucks, you can get it cheaper if you get the diy kit also you get free dataloging software and upgrades for life for free, just buy the tuning cable seperate

Re: Project Camry- Turbo Buildup- Lotta Pics
 

You must be talking about the Greddy Emanage Ultimate... Im talking about the Greddy Emanage Blue. Its like 250 -280 with the timing harness and injector harness. It also controls sub injectors.

The reason I decided to go with this is I have someone locally who has worked with both emanages and knows how to tune.
