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........

as was already mentioned, that downpipe is for CT-26 turbos, not the t3/t4. If you want to stick with cheap, you can get t3/t4 downpipes made for mr2's/celica alltrac's on ebay. like this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Downpipe-MR...emZ150288966667

of course, you get what you pay for and it may not last too long, but as I said, I never had any problems with my ebay downpipe.

and the stock 3sgte oil lines won't work either with the t3/t4 turbo. what I would do is get something like this: http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant...tegory_Code=BCS which let's you screw a 1/2 NPT thread into the turbo for a drain line, then get something like this: http://koracing.net/viewproduct.php?folder...amp;product=240 which allows for a -12AN line to be screwed onto a 3sgte oil pan. then order a stainless braided -12AN line with -12AN hose ends and a -12AN to 1/2" NPT adaptor and voila! oil drain line! pretty much the same deal for the feed line but with a -3AN line. all the lines, flanges, adaptors, gaskets, etc. are available at ATPturbo.com.

ohhhhhhhhh ok i see the difference in the downpipes, i didn't see it at first but now i do.

thanks a lot 6strngs i will def get probably everything you just showed me! thanks a lot everyone
