CT9 Turbo on 5SFE ?! PLZ HELP!!

mr22cal · 12-13-2006, 05:44 PM

Okay.. so i know i can use a 3sgte manifold.. and get a t3/t4 to t25 adaptor plate and get the turbo to bolt up.. saposedly..
And i plan on making a custom 2.5" downpipe

What my question is.. at what point are you RESTRICTING the 5AFE too much ?
i mean i know it doesnt breath much.. and i know turbo will add BOOST.. but this is what i'm worried about..

The Stock 5AFE Throttle body is what around 2.25 inches ? right ? okay.. well the Input to the turbo is only 1.5".. whats worse, the charge pipe is only is only shy bigger then 1 inch.. the exhaust side is 1.75" and the output propeller is 1.75".. but you can bolt a 2.5" downpipe to it..

Anyways.. i dont know the sizes of C20 and C26 turbos.. but doesnt this seem small ? can i make this work with a 5SFE ?

Some history and Info on the turbo..
It came on JDM Starlets and Trecels.. 4EFTE motors.. a 1.3-1.5 series motor.. 4 cyl of course..
It has been made to work on JDM and USDM 1.6 and 1.5 3AFE, 4AFE, 5AFE and 7AFE motors with NO problems with restriction..
The Turbo runs STOCK at 7-8 PSI with an internal wastegate..
It can be run as HIGH as 12-14 PSI and boasts ULTRA QUICK SPOOLING..
It can be run to 5k with NO problems and can be pushed as high as 6k+..

So i guess what im asking is IS THIS POSSIBLE to use on a 5SFE ?
I have ALL the parts i need..
I have someone who will MAKE me the Manifold + Downpipe.. i just need to know if the turbo is too restrictive first..

Plz someone who knows something about this let me know..

think yr turbo is too small, what you really need to do is the math that goes along with forced induction. If you dont want to then I suggest finding one that came on the same size engine, like a daytona or mazda.
