3SGTE guys - take a look and help a GTE N00b :D, I'v been working latly... Options

[doGGy]

2 days ago got a hold of this engine bay Had to install Ari intake (make ss Elbow for the Apexi filter), relocate HKS SSQW, and install Profec B specII boost controler. As i am almost total noob on 3SGTE engines, this was my first real experience working with them - and this first experience wasnt so damn good - got my all hands scratched trying to access to damn WG and had to rework some piping to place the airfilter...









Here hows everything looks now

Well, i have now few Questions what i would need to be answered:

1. On the WG there are 2 houses comming - one goes to the Compressor housing of turbo (this one i know ) Another one goes??? To VCV? Or wtf it is called, some sort of stock boost controller? Well, while installing ProfecB i disconected second house witch goes (to nowhere ) and sealed it shut, made the same thing on the second inlet on WG. Left only the house witch goes to compressor housing. Did i made this right?

2. What is the critical part of boost for the 3S stock? i read it in few places but most of the tell different amount. I set the Limiter on the boost controler to 1.2 bar. Is this right or not?

3. Does 3gen 3S engines comes with CT26 or CT20B on the Four? Cuz i got confused aint finding no writing on compressor housing witch would say what turbbo is this...

4. And the last Q - Kinda strange but this engine has the power till bout 6200 - 6400 rpm after this - its more or less just screams but you can not feel the "pull". Is this somthing wromng with the Engine it self or just normal thing for a 3SGTE

Thanks
Romas


P.S. Client asked about the IC - should we ditch this W/A setup and go with the Front mount, or should we leave this one sitting on top and go with the bigger heat exchange radiator?

It is CT20b, ct26 had the "toyota ct26" on the housing while ct20b just have the "toyota" on it

Mine 3gen pulls noticeably untill about 6800 - loose some exhaust restriction maybe it will help

I will trade you my fmic+piping (welded stainless) for your w/a but seriously you should stay with W/A its plenty good for high hp numbers.

2. What is the critical part of boost for the 3S stock? i read it in few places but most of the tell different amount. I set the Limiter on the boost controler to 1.2 bar. Is this right or not?

I would like to know that too. Stock 3gen runs like 13.5 psi, and has 2.5 bar map so i guess there is some room up the boost... but how much?? anyone??

someone please write up 3gen power primer

Romas I agree with all these answers except that the efficiency of the ST205 W/A intercooler falters somewhere north of 350whp. A good A/A will be better for real big numbers.

One other suggestion is to relocate that battery and run a strainght intake pipe. That should help you pick up 2-5 hp.
