Whole design is meant for high end rpm flow, dont think it would be optimal for a blown engine. The Caldina intake however is very nice and could be a lot better when routing a FMIC.

hey that TB i think will not fit, unless you can source the intake mani as well.
****er is large enough to swallow a small cat.
Inner diameter of that TB is almost 3" i should measure it. All my motor-head bro's here are all flipping out about the size of the damned thing!

exactly, though I do have a wild plan in the back of my mind about building a custom turbo setup for it....gonna have to figure out how to handly it with like an APEX'i PowerFC or something....that somewhere in the not so near future.

the one thing I am doing battle with at this moment is to figure out the gauges cluster/dash wiring, I got the BEAMS gauges and the dash-wiring that goes with it, just gonna figure out in the next week or so how to wire it all in.....IF its even possible....

Turbo setup is a bit pointless on the VVTI engine. Unless you know what your doing and IIWY I would get a AEM.

About the wiring. Isn't the 5th gen still got a speedo with a cable instead of wiring?

turbo gonna be a work in progress, I got a contact in japan right now, there are a number of turbo'ed Toyota Altezza's out there, basically the same engine & VVTi. 200hp should be enough for anyone, but i know i will last only a month or so before i go crazy and go into the block and get forged EVERYthing, drop the compression a little bit and stick in an SC61 precision turbo.....who knows.....


5th gen is cable operated, and it sucks when they get older they start to wobble around 20Mph or 40KM/h
But the ECU also gets the same speed-signal from the transmission as all newer cars do....i think I know which cable it is too....i'll post it when I get it all figured out!

Hey you guys wouldn't happen to have a Diagram of the Dash-Wiring by any chance would you?

Why didn't you go for a 3S-GTE in the first place. Would be cheaper in the long rong. Price of a Beams and ST205 front cut dont differ that much.

Look at his engine. 200hp VVTI redlines at 7200 i think. And guess who has one. wink.gif

BTW, Man does anyone know if a GT exhaust piping lines up to a BEAMS motor directly?

i does, but i would use the BEAMS 4 into 2 into 2 on the intermediate pipe, this engine flows ALOT of air.

3S & 5S manifolds are practically the same across the 5th & 6th gens
