yeah and btw mine engine is a 5sfe

Re: Start of my Turbo Camry....
 

cool i never knew that they're a direct bolt on. pretty sweet. 3sfe & 5sfe i guess uses the same manifold.

Re: Start of my Turbo Camry....
 

Cool project man!

Re: Start of my Turbo Camry....
 

Is yours an auto or a stick?

My buddy has an the idental car/engine and would love to turbo his, but it's auto. Cool project though man, car looks good and it seems like you're heading in the right direction :)

Re: Start of my Turbo Camry....
 

the mani bolts right up, but it is going to interfere with your oil filter (im pretty sure you need a relocation kit) and the dipstick tube, but you can just bend it for clearance. Those filter kits are expensive too. Looks like you did your homework though.. good luck, my last car was a 5sfte celica

Re: Start of my Turbo Camry....
 

I already bent the tube, so it should be good. The oil filter isnt in the way of the turbo.. its a downwards downpipe that gets in the way. Im having a different downpipe madeso steer clear of that area. I want to get a relocation kit however :)



Its an auto... unfortunatly. Im using a large tranny cooler. Recently flushed and checked, seems in good condition. This coming summer, I want to take the trip to SC and have my buddy do a swap for me.

Yeah, its quite a project, feared by camry owners :P. Im one of the few who have done it on a camry... so its one of those things that make you feel warm and fuzzy.. :X

I think all im waiting for is my downpipe... which comes this saturday.. latest :)

Re: Start of my Turbo Camry....
 

All i know is that it will be very OEM style... Even has its stock heatshield ;)

should I bypass my stock tranny cooler for my large 10x15 cooler or use both?

Re: Start of my Turbo Camry....
 

2 tranny coolers should be better than one I guess.

Nice project, and your car looks very nice.

Re: Start of my Turbo Camry....

Re: Start of my Turbo Camry....
