It is finally time.... for boost!, UPDATE: new turbo on and boosting! Options

[6strngs]

As some of you know, I've been gathering parts together for a 5sfte turbo project which I hope to finish soon. I should have a fairly large sump of money coming in in the next few days which I will use to buy the rest (or as much of the rest as I can) of the parts. Not only that but my parents will be leaving town for about 10 days on monday, leaving me with garage space to work in. The week of june 3rd-10th I will have a weeks paid vacation from work, so I will have plenty of time to work on it then. Anyway, here's what I've got so far:

2 bar map sensor:


460cc RX7 injectors:


3sgte oil pan:


3sgte oil and coolant lines, oil feed line from stealthmodeperformance.com, oil pressure sending unit from tunertoyz (thanks to Dew_Hoe_GT). Earl's -3an to 1/8" NPT fittings. The 3rd fitting on the T near the 3s oil line is plugged; I just needed an adaptor to connect two male threads and stealthmode included the tee.


oil line modified with the -3an threads from an earl's fitting. Welding done by my welding instructor. TIG welding ftw!


3sgte manifold, with EGT bung that will get plugged (not enough room for EGT gauge on my A-pillar! lol)


intercooler


2.25" intercooler piping, mr2 BPV on a section of stock mr2 IC piping, about 4 silicone couplers, 1 2.25"-2.50" transition coupler, and 6 or so worm-gear clamps


A'pexi AFC Neo:


Lotek A-pillar pod, and AEM UEGO wideband o2 (hooked up to power, but not to the engine yet), will be filling the other two slots with a boost and oil pressure gauge


And there you have it. For the IC piping, I was told it was 2.5" piping and included couplers and T-bolts... unfortunately, it turned out to be 2.25" piping, only included 4 2.25" couplers, only one 2.25" to 2.50" transition, and a couple worm gear clamps... it also included 3 2.00" couplers and 6 T-bolts which only fit the 2.00" couplers which do me no good... those 3 couplers + t-bolts are up on ebay now to help pay for the other couplers and clamps I need. If anybody has any used 2.25" couplers, 2.25" t-bolt clamps, 2.25-2.50" transistion couplers, or a 45* elbow coupler, let me know!

also still needed:
Turbo and downpipe (Negative is supposed to get these to me, but he hasn't replied to any PMs from me for 11 days and counting )
oil filter recolation kit
gauges (oil pressure and boost)
walbro fuel pump
VTV for the mr2 BPV
magnaflow muffler (to be mated to a 3" custom exhaust I plan to get)
couplers, T-bolts, elbow, and transitions for ic piping

if anybody has anything on that list they could sell to me, that would be awesome! So yeah, go ahead and comment away!

EDIT: can anybody tell me what size the outlet on the CT-26 twin entry turbo is so I can get the correct sized 45* elbow. I assume it's 2.25" since the section of mr2 IC piping is 2.25"

isn't everyone using this: http://tunertoys.zoovy.com/product/OTODK ? it says it has 1/8 BSP male threads for threading into the block, plus has 1/8" BSP female for threading the stock sensor into it. then two 1/8" NPT female threads for the oil gauge and oil line... what I don't understand is, the stock sensor can still thread into it (1/8" BSP), but it can't thread into the block... did anyone else using this have to use an adaptor?

I haven't tried mine yet, but I am not sure your problem?

The block is a female BSP thread and the sensor is a male BSP. The adapter has the female BSP on the end to put in the sensor. It then has to female NPT's for oil line and pressure sender.

....I can thread a 1/8" NPT fitting into the block, but I thought it was supposed to be 1/8" BSP? I can thread the stock pressure sender and aftermarket pressure senderinto the T, just not the T into the block.

I just reread an earlier post of yours. I am not sure if you stripped the threads when you tried the NPT in the BSP on the block. That might be your problem.

well no, I tried the BSP first. and it appeared as though it fit in the hole, it just wouldn't thread in. maybe I just had too much teflon tape on the fitting. I'll try to take that off, then try to thread it in, if it does I'll just use less teflon tape. if it doesn't, guess I'll be looking for a 1/8" BSP to 1/8" NPT adaptor...
