can i turbocharge my N/A 7mge?

[pandrade]

So it's just a matter of take it out, open it up and moding from there and close it back up properly. Any idea what would I need to modify if I have the sender unit open( when you say sender you mean the gauge face and the fat part that houses all the components that make it work I hope). For this little project I might end up buying another OE unit so if I screw up atlases I didn't do that to my cars unit. I hope my questions aren't getting annoying for some one that has probably more knowledge on it than I like yourself Cre

I'll move this discussion to a new thread.

Sender = Sensor... Not always, but close enough. It's the metal can or bell under the exhaust manifold... and it's not going to be straight forward. I can't remember what the internals are like anymore.

Hence, the problem with oil starvation in the cylinders, there was a drifter?
To install the turbine on the engine, something must be done with the lubrication system, to improve it?

The only people I know of who've had trouble with this were people who did a lot of sideways driving while at high RPM. Most of them were drifting (or trying :P).

I do NOT recommend putting a turbo on a 7M-GE. Yes, the lubrication system must be upgraded and cooling must be added.

It is so much more than the oil pan, the 7MGE was not designed to handle turbo. Why should Toyota spend extra money making engines that will never need the extra? The following is my quick guess

computer
need the turbo with all connections
bearings
the compression is different, so the rings are wrong, add head and valves.
oh the exhaust, there is a size difference right?
You would have to overhaul the engine to bring up to specs. Is the engine blocks different? Then the transmission, differential are wrong.

Of course you can do the job on the cheap but my guess is the engine would not have a long life expectantly. Then there is the question, what will fail first? Then there is the question of your safety and those around your racing.

Look be safe and do not do STUPID things! If you want to drift do it in a car that can take the beating! You do not want your last words to be "hey guys, look at this!!"

This car is not for drift. If for drift, then I would swap the engine CHEVROLET CORVETTE LS2 6.0. I want to leave his native engine, but to increase capacity without changing it. I have to Supra, Architectural project was Kia Turbo Pro Cee'd, which also had to install a 2.0-liter. engine turbine. There I installed, head gasket was 3.0 mm and 8.4 degrees from 10.2, injectors 630cc, oil cooler, inter cooler, fuel pump wallbro, exhaust manifold for turbo, turbo ..... and it came with 143 hp at 1.3 bar boost to 300 hp

And on this I'm interested in people who have been through it. On, kia, improvements to the lubrication system, was not, run the turbine at about 80,000 km of modes, the gas in the ground.

Still I have the feeling you want to do something extreme. Turbo would not do a lot for me, get a police "escort" more often than not. Think the sound attracts them.

Still wonder if you understand my message? If you put tougher a substandard engine you will receive substandard results. Still think you are better off with a turbo model. You can then concentrate on what you want to do with the car and not pour a lot of money on the conversion.

To say it simply, it is MUCH better to buy a Supra with a 7M-GTE. Much on the GE will need replacing.



I'm now done beating this dead horse.


Ranma, not everyone who wants a powerful build drives like a crazy person.
