73519, custom turbo setup... please check
Posted by talonguy2005, Jul-05-04 08:02 PM
ok, i now have all the current parts for a turbo setup, i just need to know if I have everything to run at 7psi Also i have a 95 Esi btw so i dont think i need the fuel lines, since mine already has a fuel return line:

Custom made manifold t-25 flange
t-25 turbo
1g bov
starion intercooler
cartec fmu (rising rate fuel pressure regulator)
1:1 fuel pressure regulator
oil lines
vacuum lines
mandrel bent intercooler pipes, connectors, clamps
190 walbro fuel pump
oil pan with oil tap in it
boost gauge autometer ultra lite
all steel braided fuel lines with A/N fittings
manual boost controller
2 ½ down pipe (to cat) with wastage dump tube
o2 sensor welded on down pipe
fuel tank lid with return line hole in it
missing link

i dunno about the talon, but with the eclipse, you don't need the missing link. You will not need the 1:1 regulator either(unless your trying to stabalize the cartech). You should probly get the walbro 255LHP also.
I used to have the same exact setup minus the above mentioned. You won't believe how fast that t25 spools. Great for autox.
I have since upgraded to the 14B and am loving it much more than the T25.
O yea don't forget you will have to rotate (clock) your compressor housing and center section. Just remember to have the oil return DOWN as you dont want to blow your turbo's seals. Sounds like you have most everything :) good luck man.

I would also recommend an EGT gauge and Fuel PSI gauge and a digital numeric A/F meter. Walbro 255lph fuel pump. I think you should also plan for more downtime than you expect to do this. I don't think you will ever have all the parts you need to do this before you start.

Nothing to do with Talon vs. Eclipse. Don't need the missing link if you car is a 95.

On the other hand I've seen 95 owners still feel the need to protect the MAP sensor from physically seeing boost so they install the ML anyway. Not sure on that one though. Dino would probably know more about that.

How do you plan on lowering the boost? The stock actuator on a T25 is too high for your stock internals.
