Default Just had a scary thought...

With all these Stage I, II, & III turbo kits and numerous engine upgrades coming out for the tC, does this mean that there's going to be some badass Camrys out there? Can you imagine being absolutely smoked by a family of four with a "My Child is an Honor Student" bumper sticker?

well the turbo kit is fabricated with the engine bay size of the tc in mind. its the same engine and all but the pipe bends will not fit. its the same logic as aftermarket camry CAIs not being able to fit into our cars. the turbo/wastegate are relatively universal but the piping/turbo-exhaust manifold isnt. then theres the fuel maps/tuning etc etc. its complicated than it seems

I would love to see a turboed Camry kill my tC. Talk about a sleeper.

What you really have to look out for is the turboed minivan:

Whew! That's a relief! Learn something new everyday. Now I just have to beware of Granny with the V6

Those are the links I posted!!
But you don't have to download it on your link. So I guess thats good.
The reliant has run a 10.2 with a 50 shot of Nitrous. That vid is no Nitrous.

And its not really a sleeper car, but on that site somewhere else I believe is a quad rotor 3rd gen rx7.

No turbos, it runs like 9.5

actually there some fast camry's out there. they have a supercharger for the v6, other people have done engine swaps and others turbos. with us sharing the same engine i am sure there will be some camry cross-overs. getting some new piping is the easy part to building a turbo
