I need to know if this is worth it? I would like to turbo my 5s-fe. I had the head rebuilt this past March. I am having webcams installed in about 2 weeks and all I need to do is rebuild my engine block (doesn't need it at the moment at all but I do have 184K on it and don't think it's safe to turbo). Anyway, can I just rebuild the block with stock internals and keep the webcams in with a 'low boost' set up?? I know I will need an upgraded fuel and engine management system. I just don't want to have to lose the webcams or do anything else costly unless I have to.
Turbo and mani and other various supporting mods fuel and engine man. sys open exhaust intercooler tune. Metal hg About it right? Remember, low boost set up (hoping to get about 6-8 psi). I'm thinking about the $5G mark (professional installed including parts (I have a really good hook up on parts costs). This post has been edited by 6G96GT: Nov 11, 2009 - 10:20 PM |

The FMIC, will NOT give you more power. Just more efficient at cooling the charged air compared to the stock top mount ATA.
Now as for A2W its a whole different ball park. -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer

Now as for A2W its a whole different ball park. gen3 tmic is w2a not a2a. a small FMIC will hinder your ability to produce more power as you'll be pushing air to quickly that a small system has no time to take effect on the air. for a w2a undersized tmic (like the gen3) to work as efficently as an fmic you would need to upgrade the pump and heat exchanger btw 6g, if you want to run 6-8 psi u might as well run a ct20b or ebay .57 trim. the hole setup will run u about 2500$ aroung 250whp This post has been edited by Mstoochn: Nov 13, 2009 - 5:29 PM |
