[jcaron9gt4]

hey guys....so this weekend i officially started my turbo project. After many months of researching and buying parts, me and my friend started on this thing. Ive bought just about everything except an oil pan so far. Lots of help so far from Manny, and i'm sure we'll be calling on him a lot more, as the project goes on ...hope you dont mind manny lol. So we got most of the wiring done this weekend, wiring up the Safc ll and my gauges. Ill try to keep you guys posted as this thing gets more underway...Im at school, and can only come home on the weekends to work on it, so i'm hopin to have this done by the end of April. For now, here's a few pics of the stuff i've got so far...minus the injectors, pipes, manifold, MAP sensor, and oil lines...which are all being delivered by tomorrow or tuesday.


Intercooler...supposed to be 28x5.5x3, but they messed up and sent me one thats about 7 inches tall. W.e, it fits and doesnt look bad, so im keepin it.


Stock 3sgte downpipe, so i can be legal for now


Oil feed line and fittings from stealthmode. $40 shipped for everything you see


-3an fittings from ebay for 2 bucks a peice


255 Supra Walbro fuel pump


Boost, Air/Fuel, and Oil Pressure gauges


Some Couplers and clamps


CT 26...minimal shaft play


Lotek 3 pod pillar


SAFC ll black edition


Perma Cool Oil Relocation kit

Thats about it for now guys...ill post some more stuff up later on, when i get some more stuff done.

didn't really know where to post this, but what does everyone do for an intake on their 5sfte? it seems like presure2 and shin had some kind of a rubber hose with a universal cone filter on the end. I'm wondering about where to plug the stock air temp sensor and the one vacuum line into. I'm assuming it's the intake hose, but then, what kind of intake hose do you get?

the IAT sensor goes in your INTERCOOLER piping, after the intercooler.
you need to feed the ecu the signal of the temp entering the throttle body, not the turbo.

Thanks. I still want to know what you're using as an intake hose though.

Check if your stock intake fits over the turbo inlet. You can use that temporarily... heck, I used my 3s-fe stock intake tube for over 10k miles with no problems on my old 3s-fte. You'll need some adapter or small bit of pipe to put a cone filter on the end.

I no longer have the stock intake tube. my mom threw it away after I put my injen on. I was thinking of just taking the filter off the injen intake and sticking it directly to the turbo temporarily. but idk.
