WHOLE BUNCH OF BOOST QUESTIONS!!
Hey,
I don't know if you guys recognise me, but im still a tyre kicker at this point, however the plan is to turbo my Gen4 Camry 1MZ.
I did a lot of research a while back and learned a lot, and then got too excited spending my money on other things that aren't my car.
The last thing i did before getting distracted was disasembling my engine and removing my pistons and rods.
I'm now back to finish the job. I just bought a decent deal from gabe for a set of JE pistons 88mm 9.5CR ceramic coated, with eagle 22R rods and all the related bearings. Also in the process of getting 2 pairs of 2MZ intake cams, the rest of my parts list should be pretty easy to track down though. Just getting bit by bit, trying to not spend my money on other crap and get the work rolling on this car.
All crap asside:
Does anyone have some tangible data on the 1MZ's BSFC? I need some more accurate numbers to get my turbo sizing down pat. Tony gave me some really awesome advice last year on garrett turbos, but i want to understand what is going on and i found a nifty little sizing app on BorgWarners' website. BW have also released a new range of what look to be seriously awesome turbo's, so im just playing around with sizing.
Stock manual trannys, pushing past the 450whp barrier am i going to have issues?
Axles, CV shafts etc, are they going to keep up?
And another big concern is camshafts, are these 2MZ ones going to be good enough or am i still going to be strangled at high rpms? I have a n/a 1MZ MR2 friend looking at getting some custom shafts done, and im wondering if its going to be worth it to get some for myself as well.
Only a handful of people on these boards have actually pushed these cars enough to have informed answers (GABE, TONY etc) But ill take anything at this point.
