After reading posts in the forum and browsing around websites for a while I’ve decided to start building my 5SFTE kit…I wanted to list out everything I’m planning on for recommendations from you guys. My goal is initially ~200whp but I’d like to eventually reach 250whp (I’m gonna agree with jgreening here and say the vert won’t like much more…)

3SGTE Oil pan
Custom FMIC from 97Celica
315cc 7MGE injectors
Turbo – T3/T04B V trim, water-cooled from blaastperformance.com
Exhaust manifold/downpipe – Product #aaaa10218 from ssautochrome.com
Custom oil and coolant lines for turbo (need major help here…) kindasad.gif
Walbro 255 lph high pressure fuel pump
Greddy Emanage Ultimate (not sure this is my best option but seems most versatile…)
3SGTE 2bar MAP Sensor (anyone have one?)
Boost controller (probably manual, but electronic if I can find a deal)
Greddy universal BOV (haven’t decided on a model…what should I look for?)
Magnaflow race muffler and high-flow cat
A-pillar gauge pod w/ boost, oil pressure and EGT

I’m currently living away from home but I’m planning to start the build when I move back home in December. I’ve got plenty of time to shop around for bargains and such so hopefully I can do everything for $2500 or so…low I know, but I’m gonna try! Let me know what you guys think.

so i'm coming to the conclusion i might want to make some mods to prepare for a turbo setup...funds are tight ya know wink.gif

in december i'm going to do a thorough inspection/repair...i know i have to replace the rear main seal, rebuild/replace brake calipers, probably do axle seals while i'm at it...

what kind of mods should i do that would be good for a turbo setup? everyone says new clutch, reckon i'd do a lightweight flywheel at the sametime, should i do different brakes? any other mods i could do before the turbo? suspension/handling might be nice...

and any recommended clutch kits, brake kits, suspension kits? been reading through and learning a lot in general, just trying to decide when to do what...

...i like ellipses... laugh.gif
