OK someone help me out on the things i need to gaather to at least get the turbo on and the car up and running!

1. 3sgte exhaust manifold
2. CT 26 Turbo
3. 3sgte downpipe

4. What do i need to tap into the oil pan?
5. how do i control the boost?

sorry im a newcomer when it comes to turbo

www.jgstools.com/turbo

get an oil feed line kit and an oil return line kit for your car and that turbo.

that will take care of the oil you will need.

the turbo should have come with an internal wastegate and an actuator. provided that you hook it up the turbo will boost to its stock levels, which i think is 8 psi if you got it from an alltrac.

my wastegate actuator is set to 4psi(adjustable from 4psi to 8psi), but i have a turbo xs boost controler which will allow me to adjust it to 12psi over what the adjustable actuator will allow me to go. i also have an electronic actuator and i will hook up which will pull the wastegate open when ever i flip the switch. it will save me some gas when i dont really want the added power and it should let the turbo run a little cooler.

i recomend that you run some sort of intercooler. for my setup, i am temporarily running an eclipse side mount intercooler. also, you will have to run either a check valve setup for your map sensor or get a 2 bar map sensor from i think an mr2 turbo(not sure where people get them.) also, it would be good to get header wrap and wrap up the DP to keep the under hood temps down, you could also wrap the turbo in it.

i know that you have a GT but if you have more specific questions go ahead and PM me.

Things I know I need for basic set up:
1. 3sgte exhaust manifold
2. 3sgte oil pan
3. 3sgte downpipe
4. CT26 turbo (supposibly running well)
5. Piping from turbo to throttle body
6. Intake filter
7. custom pipe from the downpipe to the exhaust

Do I really need a MAP sensor?

How do I control the boost? thats waht i dont under stand?

The turbo has a wastegate on it which, if working properly, should control the boost. You could also buy a MBC to control it.

damn Jason I thought you sold your car. where you been?

selling car pieces lol.....I sold my invder front and my zglide rear and Im going with JDM extensions and hopefullly turbo

Ok how does the boost controller hook up since i need it to reduce the boost

Boost controlers go in the hose between the turbo and wastegate actuactor. What a BC really does is trick the wastegate in to thinking there is less boost going to it and there fore delaying the opening of the wastegate.

Can someone post pictures of the oil line and collant lines that i need to tap into in order to cool the turbo>>>

Ok well the guy backed out on selling me the oil pan does anyone know where i can purchase one at?

check the buying and selling section on celica.net there are always 3sgte parts for sale on there

Well after looking at a post on celica.net they claim the block will not hold up on the 5sfe for turbo use saying the fuel pump is only set up to hold 160 hp and if i run psi it will run lean and the block will crack.........ok anyone ever had this problem!

Man you could find a omplete 3sgte for less then 1000 dollars, alot cheaper then if you buy all the parts to turbo a 5sfe and more potential aswell. I know its the easy way out but I think its the smartest way, then you'll have alot of after market support aswell.

well, i don't have the time or money to do a swap.
I just wanna get the parts together and spend a weekend putting it together.
Im not looking for high boost.
Just wanting something a lil faster and different around here.
