I think someone said TRD makes metal head gaskets for Celicas now or something, and why do you need nitrous to turbocharge a 5SFE, or did I miss something?
should i do trd or camry head gasket then...and where do i find the trd?....im just gonna get the nitrous kit and put it in when i do the turbo....srry bought the confusion.

Don't get nitrous in addition to the turby. The internals are too weak for both. Unless it's real low boost and a real small shot. But that would be rediculous

Oh and a Celica...nothin wrong with that!"
thank u...yes i did read into it more and realized that it would just be dumb to get nitrous...
search for my post here in the engine forum about my 5sfte project. it pretty much covers everything u need, up till the install, havent added pics of that yet, but the results are promising, 195whp 217ftlbs @ 8lbs just being held back by injectors. >wink.gif>

the flywheel won't give you any extra hp, but it will help get the power to the wheels. It'll get you up to high rpms quicker. If you have the money, I'd get one.
Camry V6 Tranny(S53]...is that auto or does it come standard 2??
