Awesome dude! I turbocharged a 1992 with a 5EFE swap. I purchased all the shit off eBay for the project, and the rest from parts laying around my shop. Cheap Ebay T3/T4 hybrid, Supra injectors with factory fuel pump. Somehow it was more then enough fuel supply. Cheap eBay fuel regulator and no engine management. No intercooler too much turbo lag. I put on a set of factory Integra rims with 205/50R15. I ran a consistent 15 PSI for over 15,000 miles before the turbo let loose and killed the motor
@edgecrusher1979 the reason? ebay. Theres a reason they are cheap, did you get to look at the inside of your turbo? You pay big money for a good turbo because of the machining and quality of metal ... ebay turbos are made out of melted down cheap pots and pans and are made in a way that even I could do if i had some fabrication tools.
I can't do that shit with mines its about to die, everything is stock except the removal of the old air filter and the cat but I did some other things its mad funny the ignition was rolled for the explosion to be in piston 1 and 4 and so many funny shit but, what do you think of getting a 4E-FTE engine and putting in a tercel 94 plus a Turbo to boot ?
@enticed2zeitgeist Yeah I picked a unique project indeed. The manifold cost about $50. I bought steel weld EL's from Ferguson in Spokane, WA. They are 2". You need 1 45 degree fitting, and 2 90 degree fittings, schedule 40 thickness (not schedule 80 which is way too thick). You just fit the pipes on, make an extension off the stock manifold, then you figure out where your turbo is going to sit, and mount it on top of the weld-el manifold extension. The stock manifold is still on the engine!
The turbo is a Ford Probe or Mazda turbo off the 1980's and 1990's cars. It is an IHI turbocharger, Model RHB5 - (version VJ11). It's a tiny turbo, but that's ok, it works great. It's off a 2.0L car, so on the 1.5L Tercel, it's more than adequate. I used Megasquirt fuel injection - you can buy it built for about $400 , and it's simple to use. You can run 6 psi boost with no intercooler, so you don't HAVE to have an intercooler. Get some parts together and start figuring out where they fit.
@supermuble Yur the fucking man! I never thought to leave the stock manifold on and just extend it. How did you get the extension elbows and piping onto it? If you your piping is 2" how did you connect it to the manifold? Did it respond well to the turbo?
In this video I am using Megasquirt DIY fuel injection with fuel injectiors from a non-turbo Toyota Supra with 7MGE engine. Fueling is spot on, I can cruise at lean fuel mixture and under boost I have a solid 12.5:1 air fuel.
@supermuble I jst bought a 91 Tercel, 5-speed two door, it has 250,000 miles on it and the motor is trashed...I've never worked on an import before always have had muscle and I bought it for the good gas milage and I don't have a clue on what I'm doing with it any help would be nice
@Storm40501 Ok, here's what you do. Go to the junkyard, find a 91-94 Tercel engine 3EE with fuel injection. If you want a good motor, make sure the car is smashed, otherwise, the engine is probably shot. All you have to do is pull the oil pan off, pull of a rod cap on the bottom of a connecting rod, check for bad crank. If the cranks good, the whole engine should be good. The other thing that goes bad is the exhaust valves, for some reason they burn sometimes. But they are cheap, and easy to fix
@Storm40501 You can always pull the engine apart, and bring the crankshaft in and have the machine shop "grind" the crankshaft and buy a bearing kit from Ebay.com, that will fix the bottom end. These engines are solid, but people run them out of oil, which will ruin ANY engine. It just depends on your level of mechanical knowledge. I'd say just rebuild the thing, it only cost $300-400 or so for all machine work + new pistons/rings/timing belt/water pump/oil pump/gaskets/exhaust valves! All new!
Do you have any hydrogen hooked up to this thing??? Best part about HHO is that you won't get pre-detonation like with the cheaper gasoline when under high heat & boost. Do you also have an intercooler?
Thanks! I could hook hydrogen to this. I plan on doing it soon, since I Have teh computer, and I can lean out the fuel mixture as lean as I want to go. I already get 41 mpg, even with the turbo, because I've got the mixture very lean during cruise. I have an inter cooler on it, yes!
I've never seen anyone put any turbo off to any side on a 3e. Mad props man. If I were more ambitious I may have gone this route, but my 3e also needed a rebuild so I just did the 4e swap. How many miles does your 3e have on it? Is it daily driven? Love that megasquirt pnp.
It's funny, but I think rebuilding a 3E-E is WAY WAY easier than buying a 4E. To rebuild the 3E-E took less than 2 weeks, start to finish and my engine was in and running. The pistons were $55 off ebay. Its an all new motor about 15,000 miles on it total (3 years of on/off) driving. Glad you like my setup. Thanks for not making fun of me for having the 3E! LOL
Well, its really not a turbo manifold. I used the stock exhaust manifold and spent 2 days making an adapter pipe that is U shaped. I spent about 2 months planning on where to fit the Turbo, because I've never seen anyone else put the turbo off to the side like I did.
@supermuble... get some pic's or vid's of your turbo adapter... i have just bought a 91 tercel with the 3E for 400 bucks and the car has 80k on it.. i have a old turbo laying in the garage and wanted to throw it on there for shyts and giggles... i need to find a new cam and what not also... hit me up !
I really could not figure out how to make a turbo manifold for this engine, and I didn't want to upgrade my entire engine, so I just figured out a way to use the stock manifold. It works great, but I should have used thicker steel, because it did break once from stress. This could be remedied by using steam pipe (also known as weld pipe).
GUD JOB .....i like it n i want to do the same tomine so i can blow it up n do a 5efe swap

@UsedCrx its like 70hp at the wheels, so yes about 95 crankshaft horsepower. Good guess
