Turbo

[StockSolara]

yes but turbos produce more heat and are proven typically to make a cars engine less reliable than a supercharger. They each have there benefits and downsides but it comes down to what you want to do with it.

That's why there are turbo blankets. . . and the best of all NOS. . .

anyone know if I can get a turbo for a 1999 Solara SLE V6?
just a thought, cuz I had a trd supercharger but sold that.. in hope of getting one.. :-\
any response would be greatly appreciated. thanks you guys.

and if I can get a turbo, about how much would that cost? (including like the blow off valve and turbo-timer etc..)

Thanks again.

Basically if you want to do that. . . You need to think on how much you're trying to get out of this turbo. . . if it isn't anything big than a T3/T4 will do. . . If you want crazy power T66. . . If you want stupid amount of crazy ass mofo power where no normal human would understand than get a T88. . .

haha, i dont think a T88 compliments our stock rev limit very well... probably wont see boost until 5k+ rpms

T72 is about as big as it gets for us, to keep lag time down... but the 72 trim will still be laggy

all motor would be nice, but a lot more of a pain to design and keep up

probably the cheapest/most efficient street setup is going to be twin ball bearing T28's at 4 or 5 pounds
you'll walk trd sc'd guys all day long
you can get that done for so cheap too

Don't you guys know anything, gees some people, a T66 doesn't even spool on a supra till second gear, that's a drag turbo meant for TOP END seriously, think about it. There's no way you need anything larger than the T3/T4 setup, which is the entire turbo only assembly no need to buy a second one. T3 intake and T4 exhaust that's what that means and that's how it works. For some economical fun use a Garrett T28 small, no lag, no need for extreme custom work, may only make additional 70-80hp if that, but you'd still have turbo. Otherwise since you do have 3 liters the T3/T4 is still a great choice, but to experience the most out of your turbo you will have to upgrade your fuel delivery system, on top of other things. T3/T4 have produced some serious numbers, although it all depends on your setup and engine strength, but they are rated up to like 350-400 hp, nearly impossible to reach those numbers with our cars but you could set it up for probably a 150hp gain, still won't be cheap! But good luck with the project.

Ill put it in my simple terms. Dont listen to people who might have gone through it already and try. In the end its your car. Suprise us.

and buying a lot of pipes is just the beginning... the main costs of fabrication will come when you have to make all of the mandrel bends.

You don't want to make crush bends on a turbo kit
