now i been wanting to turbo my tc but i cant seem to get the information right. i just dont wanna buy a kit either i was looking at HMT.com but with the 2az-fe its not as easy as bolt on ur done. can someone tell me what i would need for a simple turbo setup. i want to use a like T3 turbo with 440cc injectors but other than that im at a loss. yes im a noob at cars but not that dumb. i do try to do my research before i do anything..... thanks for the help guys.

 

Iw ould try the TC area in the forced induction threads.... you might get more there..


just an idea...... NOOB...lol... just kidding...

good luck man

 

to start you off, get in to the basics about forced induction or turbocharging.. know how the system works.. Then maybe you try looking at some kit available out there, do your homework each parts and what does it do.. then you might think you are ready to buy but not yet.. Search around the forced induction section, if you pretty much have an idea on what is being discussed then you can chime in and learn more.. but remember this forum should not be your only resource on learning this stuff but will be a useful reference.. I would say you that you're ready to get your turbo if you pretty much can build your own ideal setup/specs and parts that fits your application.. Then now you can choose the kit that applies to you, or you can go the harder way and make a full custom set up.. Now here's some that makes turboktis for the tc
dezod
turbotoyotas
greddy
turbonetics
treadstone

do a search since not all are good options

 

There is quite a bit more info involved in turbos than just buying a "T3."
Technically, the reference to a T3 is nothing more than stating what type of mounting flange the turbo has. There are MANY other characteristics to turbos that will dramatically effect their performance way beyond just the flange type.
Garrett manufactures some of the best turbos in the world and offers a wealth of technical knowledge into the world of turbos right off one of their websites. I highly recommend reading their info.

You are actually better off going with a kit rather than piecing your own together. The better kits have been put together as a direct result of lots and lots of testing to find what components work best with one another. Technical problems have been worked out prior to the kit's production, which means FAR less headaches for you as a buyer.
You are going to need quite a bit more than just a turbo and some injectors... ...turbo manifold, gaskets, downpipe, piping and couplers, oil lines (possibly water lines as well, depending on the turbo), wastegate, BOV, intercooler (likely), engine management, proper tune, etc., etc..
There are still some other needs that go beyond what a kit would offer. Some things to consider are a boost gauge and wideband AFR for monitoring the necessities involved with FI, a heavy-duty clutch if you have a manual tranny, or a trans cooler if you have an auto, and a turbo timer, depending on how you drive the car.
Boosting is a commitment. You will have some problems that occur, such as oil leaks, vacuum leaks, etc., that have a direct bearing on the life of the turbo setup and/or motor. If you do not stay on top of these types of issues, your car will not last long. Regular maintenance is an absolute MUST. Frequent oil changes and consistent checks are a requirement if you want the turbo and motor to last a while.
FI is not rocket science, but it does require a bit of a technical commitment that goes beyond the typical "get in and drive" of a stock vehicle.
