Like I said, I didn't do it, I bought it like this. I don't know anything about turbos. I say gt40 because that is what it says on the car's registration papers. I may be wrong, but I don't think the bit that sits on top of the carb is "the turbo"?

Cool pictures! I think that is the first turbo 3A engine I've ever seen! How does your car handle the power? How much power does the setup make? Do you know what turbo is being used? How much boost? Thanks for joining the forum! There are a few other fellows from Finland on here too. The car handle...

i believe too the torque is the one that kills the transmissions, how much boost r u running, as far as my calculations go you could safely boost the car to up to 10 psi with every thing stock except admision (bigger rejetted carb) also take inmind the flow capability of our heads, a friend of mine...

I'm no expert when it comes to cars, but isn't hp a product of torque and rpm? The way I see it, the torque is exactly what the turbo boosts, the redline at 6k is the same with or without a turbo. I for one like my car way too much to rev beyond 6k. In my opinion, the turbo in my Tercel very much bo...

http://tercel4wd.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=16450#16450 I don't have any video at the moment. I'm absolutely positively without a doubt one hundred percent sure any tranny will fail when too much power is thrown at it. The REAL question is, "how much is too much?" I don't really know. All...

My other tercel has a camry steering wheel and I've seen a camry with a celica steering wheel so I guess they're pretty much interchangeable.

My '87 tercel wagon is turbocharged and it has an intercooler. Unfortunately I bought it like this and I'm no mechanic so I can't relly be of assistance with your projects. I just wanted to say that it obviously CAN be done and the turbotercel moves like a rocket. Much much faster than my 128 hp Cam...
