3E Turbo Tercel Engine

Sorry about the audio! I didn't realize it would be so loud. Please turn your volume WAY DOWN when I revv the engine.

This is my 1993 Tercel with a Mazda turbocharger and custom hand made Megasquirt fuel management system.

95hp now?

[supermuble]

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

What turbo? What manifold? I have been dreaming of meeting a person like you before! Now you can answer all my questions right >.>!

[supermuble]

@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.

GUD JOB .....i like it n i want to do the same tomine so i can blow it up n do a 5efe swap

@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.

[edgecrusher1979]

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

[brownprider916]

Were you get the turbo at

[punkmanzz]

as u can see... tercel is not designed to be tuned

[WilkingsJr]

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]

@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?
