Custom Piping

[Ollin]

I just got to the point where i can start tuning my car, but before i start i was putting a list of things i could do. I found the supercharger and i told my friend and he laughed at me. He said i could get a turbo and have custom piping instead. I just wanted to know if i could and if anyone has tried it ?

your friend is a moron, he doesnt know >>I'm a douche<< about cars. turbo is way more complicated than supercharger. check this out, for the TRD surpecharger you need:
the supercharger
belts
maybe fuel system upgrade for high boost
maybe air fuel controller upgarde for better performance

for turbo you need, and yes those are mandotary to make it runs good. if you use cheap ebay stuffs, you are just risking yourself

turbo
custom exhasut maniford (custom $500-$1200)
wastegate (could get a internal for cheaper price)
blow off value
custom turbo intake piping
custom down pipe
if you have intercooler, than add intercoolr piping
oil return line
fuel system upgrade (fuel return line + fuel pump + fuel pressure regulator)
very nice performance ecu + dyno tunning

I agree too. . . Just go with a S/C and have the Walbro 190 lph Fuel Pump that you can get from www.urdusa.com, Jim's Fuel Line Upgrade by calling him up, and the Denso IK22 Sparkplugs. You will be set to run 4 psi of boost without worries. . .

I think you mean http://www.trdusa.com

I think too many noobs just have the Turbo mode in their minds !
Like you said it cost more, less realible, can be laggy maybe need to be at higher RPM to be really efficient...yeah maybe less boost at peak hp but S/C will raise your average hp over all the RPM band higher than a turbo.


Gen 2 really needs a S/C !!

Don't get me wrong, I loved my Solara, but you also must consider getting a car with more aftermarket support than the Camry/Solara if you are really going to get into tuning. Reading your post though, some bolt on suspension mods would be a good place to start.

trdusa.com only sells the charger

^^^yep underground racing performancce seels the fuel pumps........all our cars seem to run lean so you need to upgrade the fuel pump just to make you engine a little more safe

urdusa.com also sells the whole fuel upgraded package consisting of a 170 degree thermostat, 310cc injectors, 190 Walbro fuel pump, and SS-FTC unit:



costly though, they upped the price on it to $989.00!

did anyone with a 2.7 pulley get this package, or is Jim's fuel mod, Walbro pump, and S-AFCII enough to accomodate the boost?

Thanks guys, you really help. I am still in the planning stage so I am willing to take any suggestion. Right now I am running a stock 02 i4. I was thinking about do a swap to a v6 or something else like I said still planning so I have time.

Whos your friend. Tell him to find me in Texas. Ill shove my SC to his turbo.

[jhenty]

if you have the i4 then turbo is a better route your friends right, end of story. Turboing just about any 4 cylinder is easy if you know what your doing, the v6 on the other hand is hard. Now that we know you have a 4 i think a few more people will say turbo. Do it and be original, show everyone that turbo isnt imposible or ungodly expensive like everyone says.

as far as i kno turbo is just about the only way to go for us 4 banger guys..theres a guy on here that turbo'd.. just get the kit for the scion cuz they use the same engine as us (assuming ur running a 2az-fe) it runs 4000 or so then u just need a custom exaust manifold and maybe a few other things im forgeting..a bit pricey but the numbers for the scion show 300 hp
