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

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.
