man o man did i have a good day!!!!

i got the turbo in and solved the oil pressure problem.

all i can say is WOW. at 50% throttle it is faster than the car was when NA at 100% throttle

i had a ton of problems today. the piping kept blowing off at different places and then the gasket i made blew apart(used the wrong gasket material)

but its all working now and im boosting at 6psi with no hesitation and a whole lot of noise. im running only a down pipe that i made myself until i can get one made on tuesday.

so, yeah, after a year of parts gathering, hours of thought, and days and days of work, ITS DONE(well, the parts i can do that is)

BTW, the best part was hearing the BOV, which is really really really loud. i could clearly hear it despite running open exhaust.

So you have an auto? I was interested if putting such things (Turbo, 3SGTE) in an auto tranny (like mine) would be worthwhile. Opinions?

it would take custom work and a fully programable ECU to make an auto tranny(such as the 5sfe auto tranny or the 3sge auto tranny)

in a straight line, technically an auto tranny equiped car will be faster than a 5spd car with the same setup, just because the guy with the auto tranny never lets off the gas and never has the turbo slow down on him. doesnt mis shift either.

but in the end, its personal preference.

Can't mis-shift...oops I can lol. If you shift with you automatic, unless you go from 1st to 2nd at 4000 revs, in which case it will shift at redline, it may go to fuel cutoff. Sometimes, if I shift too late with mine and have it at WOT just pedal to the metal all the way....it will not shift and I lose. lol.

Now, boost is awesome, but you guys are running like what...160hp to the wheels? Have you guys ever driven a car running like 300 with boost? It's crazy fast...especially when the engine is rotary...mmmmmmm.
