turbo ST how to?, yes or no Options

[zipstrips]

very simple, let me know if i should spend some time and write one out. coomer, i would like some more pictures on my profile page/ or for the how to... im in the middle of swapping my 7afe as i type.. should be back up running wednesday.

I'd be willing to contribute/help out if you want.

I think we should, since we have info on about every other type of engine work you can do, we may as well throw this into the mix so people have an idea what is possible and how much time and effort it will take, too bad it will take away from all the work everyone else will have to do to figure out the project that was kinda a nice part about the st turbo, but yeah if you can do it I think all of us with st's would love to hear all the advice you have.

I think thats an awesome idea Zip. Not just because I eventually want to do mine, but if you browse the boards, the topic comes up a bunch. If the majority of the people who have completed the project are worried about a how to taking away from the work of research, even a good listing of what went wrong (blown engines, timing problems, etc etc etc) would be cool too. Just my $.02

wow celicaman on 6gc, thats a first

and yes, a how-to would be awesome. possibly even a sticky so we can centralize all the 7afte related issues/ideas etc.

sounds good

first thing on the list

CHANGE THE FUEL PUMP

lol

We need that topic, cuz i can tell you on my experience, then i needed info, i hade to run to the c.net, corolla-racing, club4ag, and all other sites to get few details. We need locked topic, that only the guys that done this could tell everything and that no post whoring was in... im in for helping with info, and How-To on custom things. let me know.

yea that should go right next to the turbo 5sfe sticky.... it would be great and would make the site even better

[zipstrips]

okay guys... once we are done swaping my motor i am going to sit down with some spare time and start to write a how to...

i will post it here so i can take some of the other members info to make sure i have everything before its posted in the hot to section.. i just need a way to orginize my install....

I think its a great idea. I'm planning to turbo mine this summer and a how-to would really help out just to make sure i don't forget anything. Thanx for suggesting it.

[Wild1Sushi]

I think a how to would be very helpful for those, like myself, who needs a little instruction. Also, roughly how much would the whole process cost? Thanks.

i was thinking about a custom turbo setup so the how-to would help but im still wondering about the turbo kit they make for the 7afe corolla

just make sure you write up on the how to upgrade fuel yah know that what i've been trying to figure out

[OOBE]

Yeah, if I knew it was going to be this expensive, I would've just done a 3S-GTE swap. Obviously, I wanted something that I could do quick...instant gratification...so I turbocharged it...and I'm close or past the $6,000 mark just buying little ****s.

i have started to collect my pictures from my recent motor swap...so far its coming along. i got to drive it last night with my smaller turbo and new clutch. its AWESOME! to say the least. it sounds and feels much more stronger, and solid.. next on the list is oil pressure gauge, oil temp, oil cooler and fuel pressure gauge. also before its is road worthy again i will have a wideband o2 to mointor her full time. still some more work to due before i drive her home and more on to the next mods for her...

about the how to: please post and let me know what area you guys would like a little more indepth info. this way while im in the garage i can get more exact pictures for everyone for a visual along with the write up. i have alomst all papers so i might be able to include a more personal cost, and supply many part numbers & supplies too.

[rlan214]

fuel tuning and oil lines would be really great

Did you have to move the radiator any?
