Anyways yeah after i hit the mercedes i had to paint the car neways.. so i just bought a body kit.. if i never woulda hit it, then i prolly just woulda slammed it like 3 inches and bought some wheels.. then with all the left over money buy a new engine :P

k for the record...

a 3sgte manifold is not a direct bolt on to a 5sfe as many people say it is.. maybe on a camry or something....

Went to mount up the 3sgte manifold to my head today and the ------- alternator bracket/mount was in the way of the very top left hole.. it was ------- lame.. the flange for the manifold is like 3/4 in thick.. it was so0o hard to cut.. but with the $2 blade from home depot it got done


The adapter plate wasnt finished today, and welding the wastegate port to the 3sgte manifold was looking wayy to ghettor rigged for me.. so i decided to buy an internally wastegated turbo.. as i was lookin on the net i found this ******...... they werent selling it for the longest time.. but today was my lucky day . for a price that is....

$115 later.

its a ct26(3sgte) flange that adapts to a t3/t4 turbo with an integrated external wastegate port.

and alot less sketch as my previous plan.

Anyways.. so im waiting for this bitch to come, and lookin around for a good buy on a TIAL wastegate cuz i have a turbonetics deltagate and im sooo scared of this little thing being the cause for my engine to explode .

Here are 3 places i found that said ---- about the wastegate... i only looked like 10 mins too...

BOOSTED TOYOTA =]..ONE OF THE FEW OF THEM AROUND HERE.


Finished my project last nite at like 1AM. The adapter plate with external wastegate port came, along with the Stage 2 clutch. Anyways. Started up like nothing, and loud as hell (open DP). Its rained 24 days strait, so there was flooded streets everywhere, but regaurdless.. I tested it out. Turbonetics Deltagate worked perfect. Running really rich, and a small oil leak in the oil inlet. So im gonna rethread it with more teflon tape today. Anyways i had to go to school the next day, (today). So i didn't get to do anything more than a little test drive. Runnin 6-7 psi non-intercooled. . But installing the intercooler when i feel like it =].. I have it and all the charge piping, just taking a break from the project. CSADDICT said you can tune non-adjustable FMU's.. I guess though valves or something.. anyone know about this?? im running pretty rich.. And was considering AFC/SMT because i'd probably make up the difference just on gas... . So.. i'll post up pics today or tomarrow.. AFter i RALLY the ---- outa it for a bit of course ..

So Stoked.. just finished my first HMT Setup at 16.

First Car.

First HMT.

First conscious wet dream

Anyways.. gotta get back to pretending im workin at High School..

Peace.

Awesome, you have PM

5sfe can handle 330hp on the bottom end. Rod bolts are the weak link. But unlinke most hondas, it is a closed deck- which will go along way to prevent blown headgaskets. I would make sure you have a return fuel system before you put an FMU on your car. I cant remember which system they have, but you should really sell it and get smt or a vafc. and are you planning on bolting a stock honda manifold to your toyota head? cause i dont think that will go over too well, good luck with your project.. I was ready to turbo my 90gts before some ------- totalled it. You should just get an alltrac manifold and a ct26.
