The 5sfTe thread, Lets see what you've got. Options

[1bwilson]

Well, Im just about to get my car back from the shop after about 5 weeks not having it. Ive been so depressed by not being able to drive my car that Ive almost given up on boosting my car. So I need some inspiration to continue the project. Post your settups, plans, questions and anything else dealing with the 5sfTe here. Please do not post "Get a 3sgte" comments in this thread. Thank you.

Well, it's not a 5sfTe, but I'm getting my 7afTe done saturday. My car's been on jackstands for about two weeks straight, so I'm anxious to get mine back too. I plan on running about 8 PSI. How much do you plan on running?

Hey wilson, I made a 5sfte sticky thread while you were gone

x_itchy_b_x, how many miles have you put on your car with the turbo on? im still amazed that you report no problems with your setup. either you did something right, or its just a matter of time till something goes wrong....who knows, keep us update tho!

[x_itchy_b_x]

it had 89k when it when under the knife im at 96k now so its showing good so far. DAM and tonight i can rip through 3rd like amazing i love new clutches that dont slip!! its heaven on earth.

Dont lose sight of the prize man! you are an inspiration to guys like me who want to boost and not swap!....if I had a hat on I would take it off to you man.

umm just how much money have you spent on your project? just curious

[x_itchy_b_x]

[Redline_Racer]

only 1400!? I figured it would cost around 2,000 or so... hmmmm

I haven't done much to my engine yet, but I have plans to turbo it! I just need to get some money. But only having 99 horsepower at the wheels is not enough for me.

[NEVERSTOP]

Im/PM me

Ive got spares but its 2 yellow and 2 green... Check www.thepartstrader.com for the injectors, you can find good deals there. If you got the time junk yards have tons of old NA supras but its going to be a pain digging them out.

Shid, I saw your post and think its really good, great links. I dont think you give the ct-26 enough credit tho.

Ive spent WAY to much on my setup. $500 P&P, $2500 rebuild, $700 bottom end. Thats not including the turbo tools.
When I get the car back I'll give it about a thousand mules to get the rings to settle and then try to finally get the kit on. Anyone running a KO downpipe? I have one and think its going to hit the AC compresser......Thoughts?

Charlie??????? Hows the masda? I want to see pics!!

[Charlie97L]

it's great man, i'm thinking about selling it tho, seeing as i'm moving back to the DC area, where there is winter, and i finally have made some progress on the gt4, it's going into the shop this week for about 3 months, and i was to focus solely on it for awhile, and that darn mazda is so distracting because there are SO many parts out there for it. i'll post some pics up later today.
