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"

oil pressure should be about 10psi per rpm... the faster the motor spins, the faster the oil pump spins, the more oil volume is moved, the higher the oil presssure will be.

the CEL for a 5sfe comes on below 5psi at idle and the BGB says something about 35psi around 3000rpms ..

using my oil pressure gauge, I can say that if you rev it to like 4K it shoots up to like 50-60 PSI. at idle it's just below 20 PSI after the car is warmed up. and I'd say 35 PSI if cruising at at 3K rpms is pretty accurate.

??? what downpipe are you using?

I'm using an ebay downpipe:

I want to get a magnaflow high flow catalytic converter so my car won't be AS illegal. I'm just scared that if a cop ever pulled me over and he checked and saw I didn't have any cats that I'd be in more trouble then if I had one. then again, the car is so low I doubt he'd be able to check without jacking it up... i don't know, maybe I shouldn't worry about a cat, and just go without one to save some money.

Hey, if everyone that has a 5sfte could PM me with their SAFC II settings, that would be great. Like what percantages you put for high and low throttle, what RPMs you corrected at for both high and low throttle maps, how much you corrected at each RPM for both high and low throttle maps, and also what Air/Fuel ratio you were aiming for at certain RPMs for both your high and low throttle maps. I'm planning on getting as many people's settings as I can, that way I can see a pattern and give my car a base tune without ever starting it. Then, since no two cars would need the exact same settings, I'll use my wideband to more finely tune it, then later on I'll get it onto a dyno for some final tweaking.
