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........

ya bro no doubt i will soon. just ordering a bunch of stuff right now tho

hey i have two more questions

1. Where did you run the hose that normally went into the bottom of the intake, i believe it's the tps

2. If you don't have an intake running off the turbo right away, what do you do with that line that goes from the valve cover to the intake??


I kno what to do with the Intake Air Sensor, however, those two lines^^^^^^^^ I'm not exactly sure. Help?

thats not the TPS, TPS is short for throttle position sensor.

its an air bypass hose, just cap it.

if you dont hook that hose up to some sort of intake, pre turbo, your car is going to smoke like crazy.
