Project 5S-GTE

[chicaboo]

Awesome news. Hopefully I'm not too far behind getting the TX3 running, and then hopefully way ahead of you, with it running. :P

haha, it might be faster... until you blow a gearbox..

You've been hanging around Jonothan too much! But it's true! :P

anyone had any experience with them?

that looks awsome wouldn't mind one myself

well done on getting her going good work

[Guest]

thanks heaps :)

i will take some decent engine bay pics and post them up later, also have updated the 1st post.

[Guest]

moar pictures :)

semi complete paint job

injector comparason, yellow top is stock, blacktop is 440cc

you can clearly see the 440 is bigger

coolant and oil lines. Note: coolant ones still need to be heat shielded

interior at the moment, as you can see its not quite finished.

back of the car now, its filthy

if anyone wants to see anything specific, let me know :)

thats pushing it man :P

nah, ill take some on the weekend for you :)

[Guest]

update:

well, i clocked the turbo, but that was causing all sorts of clearance and other issues, so i had to pull it all apart and switch it back to how it was :(

its 90% back together, so i might bring it out tonight.

also, i ordered my wideband today :D

Zeitronix ZT-2 plus LCD

aside from AFR, it can monitor boost, TPS, EGT or any other 5v input... and has datalogging capabilities with all of them.

shuddup and get this to make a sorry @rse of an interior look better

Recaros on eBay

4 hours left as of current ........

OK guys, so i received the ZT-2 + LCD on Thursday :D

It is in the car now, i just need to have a plate manufactured (should get it today) to mount the O2 sensor where the stock one used to go (going to use the narrow band emulation feature of the ZT-2 for the ECU)

the ZT2 is all wired in and connected to the appropriate sensors, as well as the emanage (woo, can tune from the one piece of software :D)

once the WBO2 sensor is in today, i will be able to see some baseline AFR's. I will then install the boost controller, and ramp up the boost.

hopefully I don't blow it up :D

I will take some more pics this arvo if i remember

you might want to look at mounting the sensor further down your exhaust, it's easy to overheat the LSU sensor when it's right next to the turbine outlet. I usually mount mine about 50cm or further down the dump pipe. If the sensor overheats you can fabricate a heatsink for the sensor.

I will see how it goes in the factory location, some of the MR2 guys have done this with success...

the sucky thing about the stock dump is that it contains the catalytic converter, so i cant really drill + tap a hole and mount it down further :(

If the sensor does overheat i will grab an ebay aftermarket dump pipe, it has a bung for the sensor/egr probe pre-welded into it.

edit: looking at the specs for the sensor, it is rated for up to 950c (1742f)... thats pretty hot.

[StreetAngel]

WOW

Is all i have to really say. This car is going to be hot. Very impressive.

So i got inspired while at the wreckers the other day, buy a 3sge... i rememberd reading a tutorial on how to make a 5sge with a 5sfe + 3sge head...

http://www.celicatech.com/forums/showthrea...;highlight=5sge

seems interesting, and it lowers the compression ratio... so it is very tempting to go 5S-GTE...

will further look into it.

small update: ramped the boost up to 10ish PSI... it scared me, and i wee'd a little... also it destroyed one of my ****ty rubber pipe joiners...

[nate11six]

Photos or it never happened...

Ha ha, you wee'd a little.

We did say they were starting to balloon.

yeah, i knew it wasn't going to last... that setup was never going to be permanent anyway... will be getting some new bits on the weekend... and maybe a new head too... hehehe

[Tats]

Sounds like my old plan to build a 7A-GE

Dooooo eeeeeeeet

[Guest]

victims of 10psi... lol

[chicaboo]

That's gay.

[Guest]

That's gay.

they have all been replaced with alu bits now

[Guest]

update: did a backyard mechanics plumb back BOV job today... and got my new PS hose and fitted it... :D car is driving again now

[nate11six]

Great work man! Now take it down the 1/4!!! B)
