Has anyone out there installed the 5SFE 2.2L Turbo and if so what kind of response did you get?

What upgrades did you have to install?

Did you encounter any bugs?

Did you have to have it tuned by a pro turbo tuner?

Cheers

here is some more infor. about 5sfe turbo kit they sell for $2500 http://www.poweredbytoyota.com/burientoyota/ssfeturbo.html

Hey TRDCam,
Thanks that was a useful link (5sfe Turbo) and the Sloara link was a nice addition too!

Cheers

r u plan to get the turbo kit....u know there is supercharger for 5sfe too

hey ... can i get the link for the supercharger or some info on that?

sure here is the link for ripp 5sfe S/C.... http://rippmods.com/products/products_list_details.asp?menuid=3&productId=97 .....but i think they stop making the kit....

Cool turbo kit but... its very flawed. No intercooler means a hot intake charge. This can shorten the motor life, and will most likley cause detonation. So you would have to buy a turbokit + intercooler and have some custom fab-work done. As for boost controller, turbo timer and gauges... not that big of a problem. But it is missing a lot of key parts. Thats probably why its only $2500, you get what you pay for.

Personally... seeing that supercharger kit has given me some ideas. Comes with a fuel pump too, aswell as the electronics. Even a computer to control all this crap. Yes I know I said a hot intake charge will shorten life of the motor and cause detonation. The computer this comes with will probably help with motor life, but it will resolve all detonation. Sounds like a project for after winter since I already have a winter project: SR20DET into a '92 Sentra SE-R.

I have always liked turbos more than superchargers, but I wouldnt buy this one. It is just a turbo, pipes, injectors, and a map sensor. I acturaly am going to look into this supercharger kit and PRAY they havent discontinued it in hopes of having one of the few boosted Camry's out there. Even though it is kind of pricy at $3500. Sure as hell would be a cool daily driver.

also, i have tried dealing with ripp..it was a real pain...4 phone calls, and something like 6 emails..and no reply...

hey Patrick wut r u plan getting...u know they dont have any supercharged kit for 5sfe camry...the only thing they have for us is header....only 20 of them going to be made....i got 1 but still waitting for them to get it made

I had alot of the stuff I needted to turbo my 94 camry,I ended up selling the stuff. I have the entire list of things you need to purchase to make the kit work the way it should.

^

If you have that list handy PM it to me please.

I did

From what you pmed me makes me think that it would be easier just to do a 3SGTE swap. I wouldnt feel so safe with drilling and tapping the block. I think I'll just save my money for a MKIV. Thanks a bunch for all the info.

-Jason

It's not that hard.On the side of the engine there is an oil supply set up where you can drill into it.With swapping an engine you have to change the computer and stuff,I know you don't wanna do that.

I still think I should save my money for a MKIV. Not really a point to spend all the money on the car when its my daily driver and I am about to spend way too much money on tools. Thank you Snap On.
