3SFTE project Options

[digs]

Hi guys, don't post on here really as post on a UK celica forum.... but thought I would share what I have done to my SSI.

Following the various 5sfte posts and guidance, I have now turbo'd my 3sfe engine, some pics of the engine bay (its had a little more done since this one - including changing boost gauge t-off point to the map sensor line) and other bits at end of post.

Have installed;

3sge injectors
ct26 turbo
emanage blue (getting tuned in a couple of weeks)
ST185 manifold
ST185 map sensor
2.25" intercooler pipes and intercooler
Apexi BOV
ST185 pan
boost and oil gauges
2.5" custom ss exhaust

Been a fun and frustrating build, the turbo would not clear the coolant hard lines on the rev 3 3sfe, so I had to source a spacer for between the manifold and turbo. Changing the oil pan is fun too! Didn't need to relocate oil filter, so that was a bit easier. Coolant lines off the throttle body so again pretty easy.

Intercooler piping was interesting, right side through air pox route, left side was a bit of a squueze! But did not need ot remove a/c or anything else.

Not driven it on boost yet, but has been driven for several hours off boost, and doesn't miss a beat. Injector size has gone from 215cc (rev 3 3sfe stock I believe) to 295 (3sge stock), running on stock fuel pump, so some scope to improve there.

First map though is just a safe one to ensure no det, etc. Plans next will be;

wideband sensor and gauge (hooked into emanate)
prob bigger injectors and fuel pump
sort out second output for boost gauge from throttle bottle to leave map sensor feed unmolested
Wilwood 4 pot brakes

looking forward to running boost!

i ran my 5S-FTE setup without the water lines. you can clean up the engine bay by removing them. They are really not needed. You probably dont even need the Emanage with the MR2 MAP sensor and the larger injectors. just keep an eye on that Wideband sensor

Hi, thanks, I did wander about the coolant lines, as I don't like the way they are in the engine bay at the moment, if they are not needed I won't bother!

Everything I read said engine management would be critical, however I have the emanage anyway now, with a plug and play harness for the 3sfe, so will tune with it anyway, be interesting to see the map the tuning place comes up with, if it has very minimal adjustments....

Thanks
