Finishes turbo system, got on a Dyno Options

[Smaay]

Well I finally got around to building turbo pipes. that all went fairly smooth. It was tough trying to figure out the routing, i didnt want to go over the head like most FMIC setups. So i clocked the turbo down and went the way i did.

So on the dyno, I ran into the same issue that the Scion is running into with the AEM FIC. We were hitting a block at 4000 RPM,s the car would just shut off. After a quick run to Radio Shack, picked up some 1K ohm resistors and fixed the problem. ill post pics of that later if wanted. The AEM FIC is a good unit and it works well. i need to go back and finish some fine tuning. im getting a lean condition at throttle tip in.

So with that said and done, i made 176HP and 230lbs TQ at 6.5psi. im on the stock exhaust after the ebay downpipe so i really need to open that up. i plan on upping the boost to about 10psi.

Thats a gen 1 3sge head. Thats what I'm using on my car with a gen 1 3sge sidefeed intake manifold too. The gen 1 and 2 3sgte turbo manifold will bolt right up. If you plan on using the gen 2 3sge head, I believe you can only get it overseas, that will accept the gen 2 turbo and intake manifold. Now if you use a gen 3 3sge head, You will have to use gen 3 turbo and intake manifold. I guess you could use the stock gen 3 3sge intake manifold, but would you want to deal with acis?

But if you just plan on having a fun car and not make 350 horses, why not build up the 5s right?
