Stef's 7AFTE Tech/Project - 6G Celicas Forums

lol Not yet, but it will happen... biggrin.gif

be patient, I'm trying to focus on the Beams, it still needs a lot of attention. My car is just fine and happy right now. I have the money for the turbo set aside, I'll probably buy it toward the end of the summer and work on getting all the extra lines and fittings I'll need that I don't have or that I want to re-do during the winter. Then the upgrade project will start next summer. That's the plan as it sits now.

>I did get the flange, it does not fit perfect, there is a gap between where the flange sits on the housing, but thats ok. I thought it might be ok and Manny says it will be just fine and for some strange reason I trust what Manny tells me so...










I also took the exhaust housing off my turbo so Manny can ceramic coat it with my manifold.






I bought exhaust piping. 304 stainless 2 J-bends with 6"x12" legs and a 2" straight length just in case


Where did you get this flange. I'm looking for one and just can't find it.
Thanks
I couldn't find one either, so Randy (97lestyousay) actually custom machined one for me based on the dimensions of the turbo.

i wish i had friends like you do.
Been a few years since I been on this forum. Glad to see you are still at it and that your build was successful, are you still running a oem block?

yup, 100% stock bottom end, only upgrade to internals is the reground camshafts. I did break a piston but I replaced it with a new OEM piston, its been fine since.

Impressive... are you planning on upgrading to a built bottom some time in the future?

Hi Stef, using the FIC, you said you are not clamping the 3S-GTE MAP sensor? i just turboed Erynns 7A-FE and exploring management. im not very happy with the FIC on my 5S-FTE. its fighting with the stock ECU too much. can you email me your MAP by chance? eodninja6@aol.com

thanks

Correct, I don't really have a need to use the map clamp right now. I'm only running 11psi directly off wastegate pressure only and its been running well like that for a long time now. Although, I guess you could try using the map clamp and setting it to clamp right when it goes into boost. Then, in theory, the stock ecu should receive a consistent signal from then on and maybe not fight the FIC as much.

So first things first, with the help of Garrett's Turbo Tech 103 (Expert), I did the compressor flow map calculations... try to follow along, if you have any questions just ask...

here are the EQUATIONS:


and the CALCULATIONS (for a 7AFE with a target of 200hp at the flywheel):


then you need to plot some numbers on the COMPRESSOR FLOW MAP of your choice
I got a small Garrett 2052 which should be enough for my goals


From just looking at different compressor flow maps you'll learn a lot. In general, the closer the turbine and exhaust housing sizes the wider your power range will be but the maximum boost level is limited. When the sizes are significantly different you'll notice the compressor map will look taller and thinner, that gives you a smaller RPM range you can boost in but you can achieve higher boost levels in that range.



What kind of engine internals are you runnig?
Did you even read this thread? STOCK, except for the cams.
