Turbocharging a 3sge engine

**NightWolf** · 11-02-2005, 05:49 AM

Hey peoples
Im looking into getting a turbo for my 89 celica with a 3sge engine, but for starters my skills lie with muscle cars and have just recently experimented with a jap car so obviously im trying to build knowledge from both sides, so my questions are these, can you actually get a bolt on turbo for this engine without any modifications to be made to the original engine. Secondly, if so what would be the best turbo that would give me a decent power gain, wont harm the engine, and is cheap.
thanx

So what type of turbo should go on, Whats that LMAO?

**NightWolf** · 11-03-2005, 02:21 AM

Why do you recommend the LAMO and how much would it cost around abouts in Australian dollars

**luca** · 11-03-2005, 04:50 AM

ok lets try to be a bit more simple.... "LMAO" meant he was "laughing my ass off"
anyways your best bet for the turbo would be the ct26. Search it on ebay and im sure you will find a few.

LMAO will cost you $10, PayPal me

There is a stock 3S-GTE engine which is turbo from factory. Research on that.

**NightWolf** · 11-03-2005, 06:26 PM

Oh you stupid ass, stop measing with my mind :-) Ill pay you $10 to kick your ass :-) now i feal like a god damn jack ass. Any way thanx for the help i guess im supposed to say :-).

**Pineapple** · 11-03-2005, 06:29 PM

Hay it only cost you $10, not $1000 of turbo parts ;)

**NightWolf** · 11-04-2005, 05:59 AM

:-) Oh shut the hell up about the $10 :-) listen that ct26 turbo, thats from the standard 3sgte engine right? You sure it will fit on a standard 3sge, i was told that it wont. Also are there any other turbos that i could use? Just so i have i variety to choose from.

**Locker** · 11-04-2005, 09:16 AM

there are many other options but the cheapest and best starting point would be the ct26

**Pineapple** · 11-04-2005, 10:06 AM

You'll need exhaust manifold, turbo and down pipe.
For you info all the S series (3S-FE, 5S-FE, 3S-GE, 3S-GTE) share exhaust manifold and tranny.
