absolutely not drop in like i said its a lot of work, toyota changed the motor completly in the 93 car, its a better bet to just find a different car, or live with an NA supra.

Pretty much everyone is right. For one, that turbo is garbage. You don't necessarily need a ball bearing turbo, but definitely something that isn't made in China. I'd get something like a Garrett, Turbonetics, etc. Hell, a decent turbo to replace the one on my Camaro would cost upwards of 2 grand just for the turbo.

Glad to see you post once in awhile on here squee.:yes: I am now rethinking this all and I might just go for a full flowmaster exaust setup, cold air intake and to run some engine cleaner threw it. Cheap horsepower.

One thing I have not seen mentioned about the cheapy ebay turbo is that it is a T3. There is now way a T3 can flow 25 PSI. They cap out efficiency about 19psi and optimally at 15psi, anything past that is lost to heat and creates extra wear. You can do a T3/T4 hybrid, t3 on the inlet side and t4 on the compressor side, this allows the quicker spool up of the smaller turbo with more volume of a larger compressor side. It will not push 25, but will hold 19-21 with out issue.

to run 25 psi besides all the additional mods that have been mentioned you would want to look at T4 60 trim turbos minimal.

Very good point Dicky. Not many people like to discuss the efficiency points of the turbo - doesnt make for very good bragging rights. I stated that mine will hit 45lbs. But its efficiency starts dropping at about 34-36.

Damn diesel turbo's.... :lol: Completely different animal compared to the tiny peashooters that people put on 4 bangers! Yes even a 60 trim T04 is a tiny peashooter compared to a diesel.

I put a turbo from a cummin's TD on my rx-7 when I had it just to play around. It was 8k rpm before it spooled and 12k before I hit full boost. A 200 shot spooled it quicker though :) It was just for play, I shortly returned to the single t60 with a 100 shot to spool it fast.
