t3/t4 installation

[sureshot971]

Hey i just bought a TO4E 57trim t3/t4 from a guy here on tuners, i have not received it yet, but i am wondering what all i will need to get and do for install.

Mods:
3"intake
apexi N1 dp with N1 catback exhaust
ported 02 housing
Apexi Bov
Apexi AFC
greddy eclectronic boost controller
FMIC(Mounted but not hooked up, will i need a j pipe for the t3t4?)

what other performance things will i need for the set-up? I understand it will probly be alot of stuff but i have no idea with this turbo.

Any help is welcome!

You will need : FPR, bigger injectors, 255 walbro fuel pump, better clutch

 

[vintagemuscle]

you are going to need a manifold flanged for a t3 turbo and also an o2 housing.

 

[sureshot971]

Oh yea i forgot to add that i have a act 2100 clutch already also

 

[sureshot971]

the stock O2 will not bolt up? and will i need a j pipe for my intercooler piping?

If it's a T3/T4 that means it has a T3 turbine housing and it won't bolt onto your stock manifold or stock 02.

victory performance offers a o2 housing that will bolt up to your downpipe. They run around 200 dollars. Also you can get a cast t3 manifold off of the classifieds for relativly cheap. Look for a turbonetics cast manifold if you can. and you will need a turbonetics 90 deg elbow welded onto the turbo unless there is already one on there. and you wont need a j pipe that ifs for 16g's and stock stuff.

stupid question maybe and some may laugh but would it be a bad idea to use a 90 degree sbr silicon for this?

 

[brute]

Yes, that's a bad idea. The silicone couplers they have are very good at standing up against under hood temps. However, they will not stand up to the much, much hotter temperature of the exhaust gasses passing through. Your best bet is to just buy the Victory Performance one. It's a fair price.

yea just thought i would ask since i have one laying around. so once i have the 02 housing, wastegate, and manifold i should be able to install it, does any company offer the turbo feed lines ect. needed?

 

[brute]

You'll need to figure out what kind of flanges the oil feed/drain are. Then, you can find most stuff you need here. Good luck!

The FP oil return line fits a thousand times better than the SBR line.

 

[brute]

Take a look here About halfway down, there's plenty of oil feed/return lines that Luke is talking about. Listen to the man. He's brilliant.

 

[GVR4592]

The problem with the SBR kit is the length of SS line, and it's even more of a problem on a Galant because of the front motor mount. With all of the fittings and flanges you end up with about 3.5"-4" of line that has to make a pretty steep bend. With the FP kit you have about 8-9" of line that makes a nice sweeping bend with no binding and no kinks. It works much better in my opinion.

thanks for the quick help guys!

A datalogger would be a good thing to get so you can tune you new setup.
Datalogger + S-AFC = good tune

 

[sureshot971]

Yea i got one too, just not so sure how to use it quite yet, and i plan on getting it dynoed and tuned right away too.
