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"

ok, so I recieved the new fuel pump bracket today and got the car running again. No more honda driving for me!

Boost gauge is hooked up and working now.

I've got to go to toyota at some point to pick up the rest of the things I need to get my BPV to work correctly plus the two gaskets that go between the turbo and the oil and water lines. They're already ordered, and I believe some or all of them are in stock now, I just have to go back to pick them up... and it's like 20 miles away and I have no time cause I'm working full time now over the summer.

Turbo should be coming in tomorrow hopefully. Then I just need to get a V-band clamp for it, which I already ordered from ebay, plus I need a new nut for the shaft on the compressor side. about this, I've heard OEM toyota is the way to go, but I'm told they don't sell this nut seperately. I think there is a way you can order ALL the nuts/bolts for a CT26 from toyota, but I don't know a part number or anything. so I think for the time being I'm going to use a generic nut from a hardware store.
