well...the car is running and is creating boost. we got finished at about 10 last night. Cleaned up a little, put my seats back in, took the car off the jacks, all while the car was running and idleing pretty well. Went to go take the first test run, and noticed it was leaking coolant. thought it was oil at first, which would have been a bad sign, but at least its only coolant. So this week we gotta take the turbo off and redo the coolant lines. But, at least my cars running and creating boost.

nice. congrats on the new found power 
it's gonna be really addicting. 
i know cause i've been there lol. hope ya get the coolant issue worked out. where exactly is it leaking from? the turbo water lines? or ?

Turbo install made possible thanks toTeamJ.D.M.officially 5SFTE junior member~*MuH NeW RiDe*~

Thanks alot man
i cant wait till i take it out for its first drive....im not exactly sure, Im pretty sure its the lines that we T'd off right behind the turbo, the ones that originally went to the oil cooler. Cant exactly tell untill the turbo and manifold gets pulled off though.

ya it has to be from the t's because the car was running for about 10 mins b4 it started leaking. which means it had to have burnt the lines by touching the manifold. easy fix but it still sux.
i have boost!!! we fixed the coolant lines tonight and put the stock heat shelid over them. The hard oil line from my turbo burnt right through the coolant lines, so it should hold up good now. Anyways...took it out for its first run, and holy sh*t, my bov is loud. Boosts pretty well, but the only thing is, is that my clutch blows and slips whenever i hit like 4500 rpms. I have a new clutch that i bought a few months ago, but i just gotta get the money together to have it put on. Also, i definatley gotta get some T bolts. the clamps i have now are holding up pretty well, its just in certain areas like near the throttle body that keep poppin off. But other than that, im def so excited that my car is finally running! Tues. its going to the shop to have my exhaust done, and this weekend, we'll be puttin in the wideband to make this thing run better!!

nice! what BOV are you using? I don't see one in your pics.
also, are you running the car without an exhaust at all right now?

thanks jeff, i know..i cant wait for my first meet..i hear its crazy times . 6strings, its a turbo xs type h. yea, right now my downpipe isnt connected to my exhaust. not too too loud since i have a cat but it does shoot fireballs once in a while lol. thats all gettin taken care of on tuesday though.

aah nuthing like fireballs!!! lol.
ya the car does boot. We are getting a fuel cut at like 4500 tho. we cant figure it out but we only got it that high 2wice b.c its not tuned and we dont want it to go BOOM! but its probly sumthing in the safc that needs to be changed. hopefully manny can help us out on sunday if we have the wideband in. it should get welded tomorrow.

it kinda drops at around 4500, right ? sounds a little familiar
I'm sure Manny will be able to give you a few words on getting that better.
looking forward to seeing the set-up you got

Im thinking fuel cut due to too lean or too rich. thats all i can think of. we should get the downpipe back from the shop today with the wideband installed. Our buddy drilled and tapped the oem downpipe b4 the cat for the wideband sensor so we should be able to do some tuning maybe tonight!!
Please take a picture of the location for the bung for the wideband so I can know where to put 6string's one.

Manny can explain it much better but it has to do with the ECU pulling timing. Once you've reached (and past) you torque peak your ECU is fighting detonation, and pulling timing. Solution: run high high octane gas or WI will help for now.

oh. yeah, I plan on putting on a water/methanol injection kit as my first mod after the turbo gets put on. until then it'll be on 91 octane gas.

didn't really know where to post this, but what does everyone do for an intake on their 5sfte? it seems like presure2 and shin had some kind of a rubber hose with a universal cone filter on the end. I'm wondering about where to plug the stock air temp sensor and the one vacuum line into. I'm assuming it's the intake hose, but then, what kind of intake hose do you get?

the IAT sensor goes in your INTERCOOLER piping, after the intercooler.
you need to feed the ecu the signal of the temp entering the throttle body, not the turbo.

Check if your stock intake fits over the turbo inlet. You can use that temporarily... heck, I used my 3s-fe stock intake tube for over 10k miles with no problems on my old 3s-fte. You'll need some adapter or small bit of pipe to put a cone filter on the end.

I no longer have the stock intake tube. my mom threw it away after I put my injen on. I was thinking of just taking the filter off the injen intake and sticking it directly to the turbo temporarily. but idk.

im just using some crappy autozone "dryer hose" like intake hose.
its SUPER getto.
i plan on fabbing up a nice 3" intake this summer at some point.

got my muffler on...not too loud, at least for now untill i get a different dp. But still running strong after a couple weeks. Havnt takin it to the dyno yet, waiting to get my first paycheck to get a couple of things. My first purchase is def. going to be a water injection kit that will get oredered by the end of the week. That should hopefully clear up the fuel cut at high rpm's. But hopefully tomorrow manny and i are going to wideband my car some more and get it to run a little smoother. here's some videos of my bov and a little run at 7psi...havnt turned it up yet untill i get everything in tip top shape!!
Thanks alot jeff! i only hope that one day, my celi can be as nice as yours lol.
bov
a little boost

alright guys, so im ready to almost put my car on the road again for winter break....so today i figured would be a good day to take off all my piping and clean my pipes.....and what a surprise i found! i had known my turbo leaked some oil, but on the cold side of the piping, up to the intake, i found so much sludge of both oil and W/I fluid. Its sort of a light brown color. But i found so much....i dropped some of my piping, and about a cup and a halfs worth came out. I was kind of scared as to why there was so much. However, on the hot side, there is virtually none. Does anyone know why there would be so much????
dont kno why there would b so much, but is it possible that ur intercooler may be slightly clogged?
You say you don't understand how we go dumb, but have you ever been where i'm from?-=-] Livin it in tha bay's a lil different [-=-

im not too sure, but i was wondering how i would go about cleaning my intercooler, can i run a hose through each ends?

as long as it gets completely dry before you re-install it, then I don't see why you couldn't. it's made of aluminum, so it won't rust.
