The 5sfTe thread, Lets see what you've got. Options

[1bwilson]

Well, Im just about to get my car back from the shop after about 5 weeks not having it. Ive been so depressed by not being able to drive my car that Ive almost given up on boosting my car. So I need some inspiration to continue the project. Post your settups, plans, questions and anything else dealing with the 5sfTe here. Please do not post "Get a 3sgte" comments in this thread. Thank you.

LOVE the sig brian...can i be a junior member???? hehe
anyway, any updates on the oil lines matt? i read a REALLY cool postlink to thread over @ celicatech.com from trance4c(clayton) about how he was gonna use this greddy oil tree to feed his oil pressure gauge because its a much better point to feed from...got me to thinking about maybe this would be an option for us to use as a feed point to the turbo? its relitivly cheap, (about 60 from optionsauto.com) and it *seems* like a good idea..what do you guys think...the only thing i can see as a problem is i REALLY like matts idea of a regulator to control the pressure, and i dont know if it could take the heat being in that area.
heres a pic of the oil tree

oohhh and i got my injectors back from rc engineering a couple weeks ago, i gotta tell you guys, i am SO glad i sent them out, WELL worth the 115$ total it cost to have them cleaned, flow tested and balanced. 2 of the 4 injectors i sent them were bad, one was spraying @about 65% the other wasnt even spraying, it was DRIPPING!!!
they sent me back a nice printout with all the before and after readings, nicely packaged and all that good stuff..turnaround was like 10 buisness days, but thats cross contry via usps also, so i found that quite good.
overall im VERY happy with them, i'd recommend them to anyone who has a question about theyre injectors, or just wants to be on the safe side, like me.
:::EDIT after reading thru the bgb, the oil pressure for both the 5s and 3s are the same, they both call for @ least 4.3psi @ idle, and 36-71psi @ 3000 rpm.
the banjo bolt that goes thru the stock oil feed line bolts to the block, (like the top fuel filter bolt)..i wonder if its just a matter of running the same size line as the feed, or of the banjo bolt creates a restriction in the flow...
