Etak28's 5sfte, UPDATE: Engine is Done... Start early on offers for upcoming part out Options

[Etak28]

Yeah, so I've been on this site for around two years now learning what I can from others builds and I think it's about time me to start mine. It's going to go fairly slow since I'm a freshman in college at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach, Florida. I'm far away from home and pretty broke, but we'll see what I can do!

Alright, so originally I was planning on buying Alan's entire setup and 3sgte, however, I'm financially unable to so what I've decided to do is to begin piecing together a turbo kit for my stock 5sfe.

I began this morning by buying my intercooler piping...



It's just the Ebay 2.25 CXRacing Piping kit. $109


I already have my intercooler that I'm getting from a friend...



It's a Godspeed 24x12x3. $100



Now I'm debating on what type of 3sgte manifold I want, pretty sure tubular

and what turbo I want, however, I'm pretty sure I want an external wastegate.

I'm open to suggestions tho!


UPDATES TO COME........

Yea once u change to from the ct26 to a t3 turbo there are extra parts you need to buy and the setup is a lil different so not everything will work like it did with the ct26 or the ct27...

edit nvm

O btw I would look into an oil pressure gauge and boost gauge just to be safe its good to have them.
