my 5SFTE turbo project, 300+whp PG 23!!!!!!! Options

ya really need to teflon tape those. or ya be seeing oil leaks everywhere lol. manny had his over where the battery was and i had mine where the washer fluid tube is. that's a shorter route if ya don't have ABS.

what kit did you use for your relocation kit? I notice your profile says you used s summit kit.

[presure2]

he actually didnt buy the "kit" he just bought the 2 halfs they sell seperately, he got the type that just screws onto the block and has the two fittings sticking straight out.
it sucked.
didnt it, vin?

it realllllly did. should've bought the one you did lol. but hey.. someone gotta do the testing to know which works best. we learn from our mistakes lol.

[presure2]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT.
wow, 2 years, 5sfte powered.
i totally forgot about the anniversary.
lol

ok so, here we are, 2 years later.
what have we learned?
5sfe + boost = good
just gotta build it right!
so, prolly the MOST asked question i get PM'd is:
do you have a parts list?
well, technicly, no.
i have a "basic" list, that every 5sfte owner should modify to fit theyre own needs, or plans. the idea is this:
think you see somthing you could make work better? DO IT! if we keep refining the setup, it WILL just keep getting better and more reliable.
ok so here we go:
the basics:
3sgte (gen 2) exhaust manifold
ct-26 twin entry turbo, (from a 90-93 celica alltrac, or 90+ mr2), with oil and water lines
stock 3sgte DP (or aftermarket)
3sgte (gen 2) oil pan, preferably from an alltrac, some of the mr2 ones have the oil level sensor, which will need to be blocked off = more work
at the MINIMUM, i would say 390cc injectors, i am currently running 460cc injectors from an rx-7, the part # is in my profile (just click the screenname )
a decent front mount intercooler, (no, a stock alltrac, mr2, or DSM intercooler is not "decent") with associated piping, couplers and clamps
blow off valve of your choice
tuner toys head adapter fitting (for oil feed for turbo)
(2) -3an to 1/8npt STEEL male fitting to have welded to the stock oil feed line and for tuner toys fitting
~16-18" -3an stainless braided line (for oil feed)
oil filter relocation setup (kit or otherwise)
various rubber hose (for water lines for turbo) with clamps
SAFCII or emanage or whatever.
2 bar map sensor (alltrac 90-93 mr2T 90+)

im sure im missing some stuff, this was just off the top of my head.
ill add more with edits as i think of it. lol
anyway, to give you an idea,of how she's running,
this is a quick vid i threw together for jeff after this past weekends meet @ DWG.
this is with defgeph in the other lane, running ~14-15psi, IIRC (3sgteRC swapped)

HOLY !!!!!

[Valo666]

dude..after riding in your car..im seriously wanting to turbo my car now...i think when i start workin in a months time im gonna start workin on buyin the parts for the build up. But seriously manny, your car is f*ckin quick. Its faster then my buddies Skyline GTS-T. But yea, manny, i think you have definatly sparked interest in alot of ppl to turbo their cars.

EDIT: Dont you also need a new MAP sensor to handel the extra pressure from the boost?

yup, its all earlier in the beginning of the thread, and i forgot to add it to the list!!


vissi, the celica gives me the gift of boost every day.
i give it fresh oil, spark plugs ect...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT.

i totally forgot about the anniversary.
lol

Congrats! I can't wait for my 5sfte! it sounds like it's soo much fun to drive!

ok so here we go:
the basics:
3sgte (gen 2) exhaust manifold
ct-26 twin entry turbo, (from a 90-93 celica alltrac, or 90+ mr2), with oil and water lines

various rubber hose (for water lines for turbo) with clamps
SAFCII or emanage or whatever.
2 bar map sensor (alltrac 90-93 mr2T 90+)

fuel pump
NGK BKR7 spark plugs
custom exhaust and muffler and such
gauges
oil restrictor to limit oil flow to turbo

various rubber hose (for water lines for turbo) with clamps

Speaking of which, I'm kinda having a hard time finding some T's to tee into my coolant lines with. what did you use? also, does it matter which hose from the throttle body goes to which line to the turbo? (like is one a send and one a return that shouldn't be mix-matched?)

[eggman40]

Congrats Manny! you Kick as s!



I had a few quick questions for you, I plan on getting water injection soon, and later go to ATS for their ct27 Turbo/ECU Tune combo... my goal being between 260-270whp. Is their kit worth it? i saw earlier in one of your posts that given a 2nd chance you woulda stayed with ct-26? I would get it dyno tuned as well....



or should i just rebuild my turbo and look for power elsewhere?



Thanks For any help, and keep up the good work

[presure2]

well when i said that, i just meant cost wise.
the ct-27 is expensive, and unless you have a GOOD core, gets even more expensive.
on a 3sgte, its a whole diffrent story.
gains are larger, cause it can untilize the extra air better.
good luck

Congrats Manny. 5sfte for life well sorta, it will always have a warm place in my heart lol. you prove that if you buy good parts and dont skimp on a good turbo the 5sfte is mean machine, especially with that e-manage, instead of the primitive safc that everyone drooled over years ago. the whole 5sfte idea has definitely evolved.

manny bought his Brass T's from Pep boys. i forgot the size though.. i'll have to look it up.

I think the size is 3/8". I replaced one of those coolant hoses connecting to the throttle body and it was 3/8 and I put a piece of 3/8" hose over one of the turbo coolant lines and it fit.

yea, iirc it was 3/8 hose.
vins right, i got the t's from pepboys.

hmm... at my local auto parts stores, I've seen plastic t's for vacuum lines, but not brass t's. I'll try to find some again I guess

At my parts store (CAP) there are different drawers etc, and the brass ones are with the fuel fittings etc. maybe check there?
