turbo system: What am I missing? So here is the deal:
I have a 93 rx7 with a 2002 ls1/t56. The car is fun, but I want more go juice! I have been planning my build for some time now and I have a pretty thorough parts list. I will be using log style manifolds (I know they aren't the best) with a 67 trim turbo. The engine is stock so I will only be looking for around 500 whp.
With that said, am I forgetting anything from my parts list? Is there anything that you would change?
I attached a picture of a set up similar to what I am looking at doing below.
x1 Intercooler (3 in. inlet & 3 in. outlet)
x1 Turbocharger (precision 67trim)
x2 Tial 38mm. wastegate
x1 Tial blow off valve
x1 3 in. x 8 in. flex pipe
x1 v-band clamps/flanges
x1 Turbo oil feed line
x1 Turbo oil drain line
x2 90deg. 3 in. stainless bends
x4 45deg. 3 in. stainless bends
x2 90deg. 2 ½ in. aluminum bends
x2 45deg. 2 ½ in. aluminum bends
x3 90deg. 3 ½ in. aluminum bends
x2 45deg. 3 ½ in. aluminum bends
x2 2 ½ in. couplers
x2 3 ½ in. couplers
x4 2 ½ in. t-bolt clamps
x4 3 ½ in. t-bolt clamps
x8 50lb injectors
Headers
x1 T4 Flange
x2 2 in. V-Band clamps
x2 2 in. 90 deg. Weld Els
x6 2 in. 45 edg. Weld Els
x2 2 in. – 3in. Weld Transitions
x4 3 in. 90 deg. Weld Els
x4 3 in weld straight pipe
thanks guys,
-John

do you think you have enough room with a radiator and an intercooler set up there.
a local guy by me did his ls1 rx7 with a rear mount because of space, seems to be working well for him.

You'll need a wideband,
boost gauge,
fuel pressure gauge,
a dual or triple gauge pod for your a-pillar
vacuum tubing/lines,
a few t fittings or a vacuum distribution block so that you can have a vacuum source for the BOV/boost gauge/fuel pressure regulator (if you're going to use one),
threaded IAT sensor that you'll need to have welded into your charge piping up by the MAF area so that it won't get blown out when you're in boost.
Buy and USE header wrap from Jegs or Summit Racing to keep your under hood temps down and all the heat in your hot parts
From the look of your turbo height compared to the oil pan, you're probably going to need an oil pump to push the oil back into the motor, it doesn't look like your turbo can gravity drain the oil back into the oil pan above the oil level. That means you'll need a small reservoir to collect the oil coming out of the turbo, oil lines from the reservoir to the oil pump, and a line form the oil pump back to where you want to put it back into the motor (valve cover, timing cover, or even the oil pan above the oil level in the pan.)
That's all I can think of right now, I'll try and add more later tonight when I get home

thanks! I'm hoping to mount the turbo a littler higher than the one in the picture, but I might still need a scavenge pump (I'll see when I get there). I didn't think about the IAT sensor.... where can I get one of those? I definitely plan on using a bunch of header wrap. I have a bunch of small hoses laying around for all of the references. Anything else?
