It can be done, tho am sure newer engine/chassis would help...
18R in my RA40 is a custom turbo - via Mike Vine Turbo in Brisbane.
major engine mods were to reduce compression (head work got it down to 7.4:1). non-std pistons wold drop it down further. Plus lots of (pricey) customisation work at Mike Vine.
You'll have to build custom manifold, would advise against blow-thru carb, fuel pump needed at tank otherwise carbi leans out on boost, mods to ignition required, lots of plumbing hassles all round.
Site http://members.optushome.com.au/mkhala/red_celica/ for the car is mostly up-to-date
Own experience so far? EFI/ECU would have been way to go to prevent pinging, improved fuel consumption and more power. Would have liked turbo housing with integral w/gate too ;(
Plans? go Megasquirt http://www.bgsoflex.com/megasquirt.html for the fuel, Tomtek http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/megajolt/ for the ignition and build new manifold (learn to MIG/TIG weld).
