i have ordered a garrett t3 turbo from california, i am waiting on it i also ordered a external wastegate :lol: as for the turbo line, i dont have it, will i have to make one or just go to toyota $$$
also, does a st185 have a MAP sensor is that the boost pressure sensor?? i heard out boost sensors are just for the stock gauge and cutting fuel supply at 19 psi
first get yourself an oil pressure gauge. That is a must b/c it allows you to then get your oil off a t-fitting where the OEM oil gauge use to sit. It also provides an oil source for your new oil gauge that will save your motor. oh and make sure you use COPPER to run the oil to the gauge. secondly, st185 engines still have an AFM. The MAP sensor looking thing is as you suspected a boost pressure sensor. It is for controling your boost gauge and fuel cut. Removing fuel cut isn't safe if you don't know what you are doing b/c it elimantes the manufactures safety net. Make sure you have the necessary gauges and parts before you do.
get a damn electric oil pressure gauge, you don't want to fuck up and have hot oil inside your cabin! fuel supply gets cut at 12 psi on a st185. I can have custom oil lines made for you if you take the necessary measurements.
i guess to each their own opinion. I personaly do not trust too much electric gauges. Call me old fashioned. I guess my fear is that they are not as accurate. Its good to take a look at both options. Just be ware of the price difference.
185 fuel cut varries between the years and models. 90-91 are at 12. 92-93 are at 16. rc/cs are at 19.
ive got the stainless braided lines all attached both in and drain. now i just have to make a downpipe
This may have no bearing to what your asking- But with the all the turbo related wiring goes to the PSI slot on the ECU, Im still trying to figure that out... How did you do on the wiring Harness
mitt i'm not sure why yours was so bad. i've helped snyder do the 185 harness swap and it wasn't nearly as complicated as yours.
Well I think I have a USDM Harness, and the majority of writeups are using a JDM harmness, so the colors in the diagrams are different, So Um Mafix do you want to go to Malibu ??
i hvnt done the wieing yet mainly because i nee to fnd a MAF and an ignitor. when i do the wiring i am going to do the wires one at a time i have a 3sge ECU pinout wich i will be moving all of the wires over to the gte st185 rc ECU. in the mean time before i am able to find the parts i need im just gonna run the ge ecu at 7 psi, ill send a pic of the engine, as its going in the car today
