Default Forged Pistons??

I am looking to turbo my 4 cyl 2.2 94. I know that the pressure and age of my block could be a serious problem. I would like to know if anyone knows what I would need to do to get my engine to take the pressure a turbo would put on it. ie seals and pistons. I know I need custom headers but just as far as internal upgrades what am I looking at?

with the amount you're looking at to turbo a 5S.. you're better off doing a 1MZ swap + S/C. BUT- if you're really curious about it- get on toyotanation.com.. personally i've never done it but i've looked enough into it to say ... and remember this is a mere opinion- that the cost to turbo is almost as much as an older 240sx- thus not making it worth the money. Good Luck.

Not to argue with you but, to some people just being uniquie is worth the investment. There are ten million turbo 240's. But, turbo 5 SFE's maybe 100 or so. I didn't bother to mod my camry because it is my daily driver and in no way ment for speed. But, I did drop 15K into my is 300 to have a 2jzgte swap and some other work in order to be uniquie. To some people that is the most important thing! I want to look at may car in the morning and know that i'm one of only a few to have things done the way I do.
