Re: custom turbo help (5speedv6)
I assume you're looking for an oil feed - the best place on most cars is the place where the oil pressure sensor is mounted; put a tee in that hole and connect your feed line to the tee. Water you just need to pull from the cool side of the radiator - pick a hose.
Better question is how are you going to run one turbo on a V6.

Re: custom turbo help (5speedv6)
nice car why are you runing it with some butcher job turbo setup, get a real turbo and not the t4 off the Hino truck, water and oil cooled/lubed are off industrial machines. there is no room to make a collector from both sides of motor for the turbo to bolt onto. isnt there a bolt on s-charger out there for you??? the solara has one???

Re: custom turbo help (rtype11)
Late reply....
This question went for both my car and my friends civic that we are piecing together a turbo for. Since their custom jobs and im gonna be doing most of the fabrication i was wondering where the connections went. I guess for the water cooling i gotta get a section of pipe made the diameter of the hose with a T fitting and run that into the turbo.
Turboing a V6 isnt hard. All you gotta do is basically make a turbo y-pipe. The only thing im gonna worry about is the y-pipe cracking under abuse. We should be able to brace it pretty good though as the turbo will be mounted right in front of the engine.
The reason im not going with the TRD supercharger is because its very limited. Its a roots type blower and as guys with jackson racing superchargers know it has a limit since it cant be intercooled effectively. Turbos the next best thing in my eyes, plus id be the only known 5 spd v6 turbo camry

Re: custom turbo help (rtype11)
Actually the turbo we are using on the civic is a T3 from a merkur xr4t-i, now that i post this it seems he might just go for a t3/t04 like i wanted him too. The t3 was free so we were gonna give it a shot. The turbo going in my car will be only oil cooled. I think ive settled on a T04B H-3 or something to that effect. It seems to match up well with my engine on compressor maps.
