just i good thought if you dont want to get scared with the turbo 5s make sure you restrict the oil on the oil feed cause its to much pressure and seels well leak when you rev to make boost and you get some nice smoke , itchy and myself had the exactly same effect from it and it scares you but all is well just lower the pressure and you should be fine

yea have talked to itchy and you about that.. just want to see pics of how you guys ran everything... thatway I can improve on the design >>

i had to make custom oil lines from the start so i used steal brake line. the rason i had to make the lines was because i have a supra single entry turbo so it had supra oil lines. i just put a few crimps in the steel line with pliers. i started the car to make sure oil was still coming out. and its fine. and has been fine for awile.

what about using the water bypass pipe and the water outlet junction off the 3sgte?? I have them and thing it would work fine. It looks like there is only one extra sensor opening on the 3sgte one otherwise its basically the same.. would have to reroute a few hoses but oh well.. that would take care of the coolant lines to the turbo and would reroute the radiator inlet hose nicely.

the only problem I can come up with it one just a visiual inspections is that on the water bypass pipe on the 3s there is and extra pipe that runs under it that is welded on that runs coolant lines to the rear of the block.. the 5sfe does not have this as far as I can tell so I would have to cap them off somehow and hope It doesnt come loose.

here is what I am talking about... these are from the Toyota Repair manual for the 5th gen so the 5sfe is slightly different but basics parts are the same.

3sgte



5sfe



this doesnt help with the oil lines but would help a little. I diffently think this would work unless I am missing something major here.. the only thing I can think of is the bypass pipes not mounting to the water pump.. and the oil cooler lines which run in/out on the 5s where the 3s it runs in off the bypass and out into the pump... see diagrams. I could fix this my swapping the oil cooler and water pump to the 3s one.

would still like to know how the oil inlet pipe was run... like detailed instruct or pic perferably.

nice

I just got my car back from the shop from the complete rebuild. Its running nicely. I have a grand total of 25 miles on the motor. Im going to do a oil change at 500 miles and then one at 1500 and alls good I'll be putting the turbo on the car soon.

mr2oc is awesome >>

Oring kits should be here tomorrow or the next day

They are really good guys. I like that site alot.

my friend wanted to use my MBC as a template to make there own like i did. but when i got mine back and puit it on i was boosting at 14 psi!!!
was CRAZY i was so scared as soon as i noticed it pull harder than normal i looked at hte guage and let off the guage instantly. Mmm i want more boost.

hi im john and im a boost addict.

hehe >>

One step closer.. tryin the Air Press reg Idea that I had.. might work.. might not... well see... think I will have to bump up to larger piping though...

? for you 5sfte guys.. how did you connect your oil lines to the intlet line on the turbo.. like an special fitting?

Thanks
NEVER

I like that alot!!!! Very well done.

yeah thats awesome. um hope it works out oil leaks suck. it should work thogh looks nice. yeah we cut the line out of the tock flange then tapped the holes to make those brass fittings thread in. then welded them in once they were in.

i am using red injectors from a 4agze......have had no probs and runs real smooth

You guys have some awesome projects there.

hehehe one step closer... beads needs to be cleaned up and everything painted but u get the idea

>> Mmm.

lookin awesome Never!

current engine pic

Looks great itchy! thats almost identical to the layout I have for me IC piping >>

Heres what I got done last weekend for the turbo project... basically freed up some room in the engine bay for piping and for the cold air box im working on.. did this by relocating the battery to the trunk.. was pretty easy.. used a set of jumper cables for the battery lines and some non fused distribution blocks for the terminals.. works good but need a stronger battery.. the "ECONOMY" just isnt cuttin it for me >>

newayz heres some pics







and here is the absolute safest and cheapest method of turboing your celica!



HAHAHHHAHHAHHA >>

That looks good, Thats the same thing Im doing with my batt. Where did you get the distro blocks? What gauge are they?

My motor is about to turn 500 miles tomorrow so Im going to be doing the first oil change on it to see if everything is clean, no metal shavings. Then its on to the 1000 mile road test and then another oil change.

500 miles and I havent poped a rod, 3sgte rods do fit 5sfe pistons with some mods to the crank.

1bwilson. ur 5sfte is gonne be a REAL insane motor done right in every way. awesome. Never any updates?

Im going to be doing my oil filter re-locater tomorrow and then maybe my batt re-locate also. I'll try and get pics of it when I finnish. 700 miles and still running. I think I'm going to do a comp check also. Never done one.... any suggestions on how?
