converting 3s-ge beams to turbo?

[alanjg]

what has to be done to convert it to turbo? and how many hp can i easily get from it?

or just give me a link to the thread where it has been said.

thanks!

depends on how much you want power wise.

manifold
turbo
downpipe
oil and water lines for turbo
intercooler + piping
piggyback ecu like emanage ultimiate or standalone like aem

thats a mild setup but with safety.

this will give youy around 250-280 depending on tune and boost.

Would be easier and cheaper to swap the Beams lump out with a 3S-GTE.

The Beam's engine in all fairness has a compression ratio that is really too high to go bolting a turbo to on. It will work, but for how long is anyones guess.

If you really want to turbo this engine, I'd first replace the pistons with some of a lower compression ratio and replace the head gasket for one made of metal.

if u look on the greddy usa website ull find the whole kit needed to turn the beams into a turbo engine comes as one kit, including turbo kit, fmic, head gasket, injectors, pump, ecu .. well the works really

so whats the best i can do if i want 400 - 450 Whp ? 2jz?

the beams can handle 400~450whp thers no need for hte 2jz.. well the 2jz is a much bigger engine lol... but the beams can handle that much & more if u look at the greddy website their 1st power up kit for the 3s-ge beams takes it up to 370whp @ 12psi

Turbo beams 3s-ge would rock!!

Youtube "HKS Celica" Still FWD and running very fast 1/4 times

The block in the beams lump is supposedly stronger than the other blocks too
