5sfte exhaust manifold question - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #66463 9 posts Started by kaboom16
I have decided to turbo my 5sfe and was wondering what hits the oil filter and if there is a way to get around relocating it
If you have a 94 you will be okay. The stock 3sgte downpipe will clear the oil filter, but changing oils will be a pain in the behind. Now if you have a 98 5sfe the oil cooler is located higher which means the oil filter will not clear the dp.

will, do you have any pics with the filter in place, with the oil cooler still attached, and the full turbo kit on?
i knew you could fit the oil filter relocation kit in there with the stock downpipe (who would want to use a stock downpipe anyway??) but i didnt think would fit with an oil filter on there.

electronically. you will need gauges to monitor how your car is doing. BOOST gauge is a must. oil pressure i recommend and also a Wideband A/f ratio just to make sure your not running too lean. water temp is also important if your stock gauge doesnt work. you will need some sort of tuning device. AFC or a piggyback/standalone. i am using the Apexi Neo to pull my fuel. up to you on that one. i also would recommend a turbo timer so you dont kill your turbo. those are the *important* things if you ask me.

What turbo are you running? CT26 or T3/T4? I did happen to find a way around the relocation this past week on Brent build. Also, for more information on the parts you will need, Manny did an awesome writeup on Shannons 5S-FTE, and you can also check out Brent's build thread. After just doing this build/install this past week, please do your research prior to diving into this. There is more involved than meets the eye, especially if you are unfamiliar with these turbo setups.

Manny, I went through all of my photo folders on my comp and nothing. Checked photobucket and nothing. Could be on the girlfriends laptop.

Closest we are going to get... Theres an oil filter behind that stock gutted DP.... Trust me. Look for an oil relocation line, you won't find any..
