94 Camry 3sgte turbo
 

Hey I'm a noob here.
Ive done a 3sgte swap in my gen 3 Camry.
Fun 2 drive :)

Nice! I bet it is extremely fun. Im tryin to kit my 5SFE into turbo someday...

Was it a direct bolt in?

Hey Steve, for the most part, yes it is. My JDM engine was from a ST185 - celica. That being said, the engine block does not have the holes for the rear mount... But being decent @ fabrication, I was able to make an adapter to make it work.

There is a lot of fine details that I learned while doing the install. Hope this answers your question.

It would be nice to see some pics. Your setup sounds awesome!

I do have pics up. Just look at the photos section & it should be under camry turbo, or my 94 camry.

Found 'em, thanks! Very nice and wow, quite a bit of work went into that!
Do you know how much power your making?
Stock tranny?

Thank you, I did the swap at home.
Initially I used the stock tranny and axles. Then one night at the drag stip, the diff gave out.

I had been previously doing research on converting the AWD to FWD. Being mechanically inclined, I learned enough to make me dangerous, & dove into it.
Hadn't dynoed the car to date, but I should be around 250ish...

Can you put up a photo of custom mount? Any tips bro? Im literally waiting for mine to arrive in a few days.

There are so many tips and details that I might have to do a write up/guide on the install.
PM me your # and I will give you a call with some pointers.

Feel free to do a write up and I will sticky it. The turbo conversion has crossed many minds, mine included.
If you find the time, that would be awesome. Also include total cost, parts list if you don't mind.

I definitely will as I get closer. Thanks man. Familiar with Caldina 215 by any chance?

I'm not but I did google it to see what was up.
Pretty sweet looking car the reminds me of the Subaru WRX.
Is the Caldina your donor car?

Yea Im ordering the eng/tranny/ecu combo.
Just wanting to know about the mount mods.

Did you PM JssAuto?

I actually thought he'd see this. I will post an extensive write up as it goes. Have not pm'ed yet. I bought engin/tranny/ecu combo from jdmenginedepot.com cut out of a caldina and delivery will be tom or thursday. I found a manual camry (lucky I know) at a junkyard and pulled clutch pedal, shifter, cables, and cylinders with lines. This will also be a manual conversion. I will be begging for help very shortly. I'd like to see my issues first hand before I do.

Very cool adventure you are about to embark on! Take lots of pics! We'll do our best to help you a long. Manual Camry's are hard to find but I've got one!
