3S-GTE/Turbo MK1 Engine 86 NA to turbo

MmArrTu · 01-26-2008, 09:53 PM

I have 86 MR2 and I'm going to be building the engine with better internals and I DO NOT WANT TO SWAP ENGINES. There are no GZE engines around her and I do not want to do the swap myself or pay the high ammount of labor charges( please don't say it's cheaper either cause it's relative to the supply of the engines). I'm a proficent mechanic as well so I can install the turbo without much hassle; what I need from you fine forum members is the list of all the parts I will need to do the job. please don't go on the whole "GZE is better base blah blah" the NA motor can handle about 12psi and I'm not looking to push anymore so it's all good. Don't mean to sound rude, but I need some suggestions to what I'm wanting to do, not what you think I should do. so far I have this:

Turbo Exhuast Manifold
Turbo (not sure what brand, give me some suggestions and I will much appreciate it)
Blow off valve
Turbo Timer
Turbo Piping
Fuel injectors
Intercooler
oil feed lines
boost guages
waste gate
down pipe

anything else I'm missing? Thanks alot for your help!

a new set a pistons. 8.0:1 you are going to find that your not going to last too long with the stock pistons from the NA motor. they will crack and break at the ring land... I know.. I did it. OH a beter oil cooler and remote mount oil filter. you will need that for clearance.
