can you turbo a stock 5sfe motor in a 95 celica gt?

[bhot]

i have a 95 celica gt with the 5fse engine and im wondering if it can handle it and i dont need to change the crank or pistons or heads if i can just leave it all stock and buy a turbo kit please let me no what i need to do thanks!

You can but at low PSI levels but you still need a piggy back and bigger injectors I'd say maybe 5psi max!!! On stock internals

[bhot]

I don't need a header at all do I? And do I need a bigger fuel filter or pump? And will only 5psi and much horsepower

You realize a turbo requires you to replace the "header" anyway, right?

[nycGT]

Oh u wanted full details. You need header, new exhaust 2.5" or bigger. Fuel pump is ok ours could handle up to 200hp. 5psi will net u around 150hp more or less depends on the tune. Fuel filter stays the same. Fuel rail is good. Injectors I would go with a set of 315s to be safe ( light green )

Ya i was going to replace it eith the header i was just making sure and thanks for the help hopefully my celica comes to life soon with a turbo kit

Before you turbo it, take the head off and check for "devil's fingernail scratches" on the block.
While you're in there, re-use the head gasket, you are going to disintegrate it anyway with the ebay turbo kit.
Also, the pistons that would come with the turbo if you bought a real kit, just throw them away, they won't fit in your block with a rod lodged in the cylinder wall.

And remember, building an engine for boost before boosting it is never a good idea. It isn't like an engine can throw a rod without being boosted, so go ahead and boost it anyway.

<~~~ 5sfe turbo, wait wait, 5sgte yeah...

Yes you can turbo a stock 5sfe, i don't recommend it, but you can. only a low boost or you will screw up your block ( possibly more ).
you will also have to really fine tune a check for knock or other weird noises.
but from what you said here, i don't think your mechanic skills are good enough to do this.
just my 2 cents, i don't want to insult you, but rather save you a headache and wallet hole.

I agree with Old El Paseo. Kinda pointless to turbo that thing imo. I would rather blow my money on suspensions and handling. Then when that 5sfe blows, ITS SWAPPIN TIME
