Damn rain......maybe tomorrow. >>

Sucks, Ive had the car back for like 2 months and I only have 877 miles on the engine.

At this rate I'll never put everything on.

the black one are the ones you shouhd use they come on the turbo 3s-gte & 7m-gte

hey ne of you guys have the hard lines that bolt up to the turbo assembly for the coolant and oil lines?

I need em and too lazy to get em threw toyota

newayz I now have everything besides IC couplers, the two hardlines I mentioned before, a few gaskets and an adaptor for my msd6a - gotta finish fitting the pipes etc but thats this weekend and gotta make my plexi airbox then im done... but gonna prolly hold of on turboin it until end of winter cuz I gotta do some maitance type stuff to the celi 1st


HEHE >>


Edit: did have a ?... I know that if you order a head gasket from toyota now they will give you the metal one.. did ne of the celicas come stock with the metal head gasket? I ask cuz I got a 99 and really dont wanna tear apart the motor just to find a perfectly good metal headgasket

Glad to see your car is still running well. Your settup looks real nice.

Never, I have hard lines but will be putting them to use >> . Check mr2OC someone should have a set cheap.

Yea was gonna drop a WTB over there but had heard the site was down for a while or something due to fraudulent (sp?) sellers or some stuff like that - LOL maybe I should just try >>

I got a buddy that works for a car dealership and gets toyota parts for REALLY cheap so might have him price em out also... idunno.. I need struts 1st

hey never, you gotta let us know who that oil feed setup works, that looks REAL nice. >>
ohh and BTW, the oil hardlines list for about 55 from toyota, with your friends discount it'll prolly be worth it to just buy the new one. >>

club 5sfte lol. sumone find me a cheapo T3

Yea I can get the oil line for 41$ threw him.. but still think I could find a good used one for around 20$

Nice thing is the gaskets are REALLY cheap threw him >>

as for the oil feed setup I really hope it works.. I need to figure out what the oil PSI is for the 3sgte feed so I can make sure I am running the same - think im gonna rebuild the thing though and go with same sized pipe as the 3sgte feed line

i have a question for you guys that completed the installs and tuning...

have any of you used aftemarket injectors? .. and have any of you had to remove your CruseControl.. cause it looks like it might be in theway... sorry if there questions have been asked and answered already.. but i just don't feel like looking

interested in makeing copys of that thing??? >>

The CC is in the way. When I relocate the batt Im just going to swing it over.

As for injectors, there are several upgrades from other cars we can use instead of buying expencive aftermarket ones.

Like the new sig?

Oh and 1,030 miles.

LOVE the sig brian...can i be a junior member???? hehe
anyway, any updates on the oil lines matt? i read a REALLY cool postlink to thread over @ celicatech.com from trance4c(clayton) about how he was gonna use this greddy oil tree to feed his oil pressure gauge because its a much better point to feed from...got me to thinking about maybe this would be an option for us to use as a feed point to the turbo? its relitivly cheap, (about 60 from optionsauto.com) and it *seems* >> like a good idea..what do you guys think...the only thing i can see as a problem is i REALLY like matts idea of a regulator to control the pressure, and i dont know if it could take the heat being in that area. >>
heres a pic of the oil tree

oohhh and i got my injectors back from rc engineering a couple weeks ago, i gotta tell you guys, i am SO glad i sent them out, WELL worth the 115$ total it cost to have them cleaned, flow tested and balanced. 2 of the 4 injectors i sent them were bad, one was spraying @about 65% the other wasnt even spraying, it was DRIPPING!!!
they sent me back a nice printout with all the before and after readings, nicely packaged and all that good stuff..turnaround was like 10 buisness days, but thats cross contry via usps also, so i found that quite good.
overall im VERY happy with them, i'd recommend them to anyone who has a question about theyre injectors, or just wants to be on the safe side, like me. >>
:::EDIT after reading thru the bgb, the oil pressure for both the 5s and 3s are the same, they both call for @ least 4.3psi @ idle, and 36-71psi @ 3000 rpm.
the banjo bolt that goes thru the stock oil feed line bolts to the block, (like the top fuel filter bolt)..i wonder if its just a matter of running the same size line as the feed, or of the banjo bolt creates a restriction in the flow...

That looks really good. I like the idea of not having to T off the feed line from the sensor. I'll have to look more into it for my aplication.

I wish Id have gone to RC before I installed my injectors.... Maybe I'll pick up a extra set and send them out. There only like $40 at thepartstrader.com

Sigs are free to anyone willing to hear out the word of the 5sfTe. Dont have to be running one just have to believe in them >> I hope it will start a trend and quiet down some of the haters.

i havent posted in awhile. but yeah. go 5sfte's lol and for the turbo i think im gunna use a shop vaccum...

lol, why not use a ct20b?

or get your ct26 rebuilt or mechined out to fit a 60-1 inlet fan
i've seen it done.

60-1 compressor side = LAG >>

why arent you guys using T3/T4 ? just reflange your 3S header, and you will have really good response and good turbo...

Or maybe i shoulod build header for 5S ? >>

-doGGy+Dec 22, 2004 - 6:03 AM


Hehe good idea.

Thought I'd bring this back up due to all the 5sfTe talk.

Im almost 3k miles into the break in period and all knock i had at the start has gone away. the motor runs like a charm and is begging for boost. Solid 500 RPM idle

DO IT bryan!!! hahah >>

i got 2 thousand more miles for the recomended "Break in" period left. I also have to collect a few odds and ends for the settup. Wide band O2 EGT re gasket the turbo and Jet coat the manifold.
