3S-GE to 3S-GTE conversion Options

[bdawgbp1]

Does anyone know what all is involved in converting a 4th gen 3S-GE (American version rated at 135 HP, 125 ft/lb torque) to a 3S-GTE? I've gotten my hand on a 3S-GE out of a 1988 Celica GT-S that was rebuilt 90k miles ago and I want to convert it to a 3S-GTE. Any ideas? Thanks a bunch!

i suppose inorder to convert it to turbo,you have to change the piston rings and get a MAP sensor(im unsure of the map sensor) you'll have to get the exhaust manifold for the 3sgte and hook up the intercooler,change exhaust piping to 3' from stock nonturbo 2.5'.but one can only run about a maximum of 5psi boost on stock internals.im planning to do the same thing once i save up.if you want to run it on stock internals,its better to get a CT9 turbo from a 4efte engine as you wont be able to run on very high boost.its cheaper compared to getting a CT20B from a 3sgte motor.people reading this,please correct me on if i went wrong on anything.thanks.
