you need new injectors, fuel lines, fuel set up, good BOV, downpipe, Boost controller, PFC.

Crispy has a decent write up of his gt35 single conversion:

Trust me your not even close to all you need to do it right. It would help if you mentioned your HP goals and what you plan to do with the car...drag race, road race, or daily driver

Advice? Be prepared to devastate your bank account and credit card balances

I'd spend a lot of time searching the Single Turbo archives.

So true

It would help if you told us wether you have a kit or trying to piece something together your self. If you have a kit, there should be exact directions on how to install, if it's missing contact the manufacturer of the kit. On the other hand, if you are tryting to piece the setup together on your own and have to ask this question I would strongly advice against doing the work your self.

ok yeah i did forget a few things i do have the bov and i have the e manage piggy back and yes it was a kit but i think it was a partial the turbo came with the bov and the wastegate but i had to get manifold seperately. there wer no directions.
also im ganna need to modify the manifold or get a new down pipe because the exhaust side doesnt mach at all the dp is for the stock twins but doesnt fit right so i never put it on...
hp goals is around 350 min and its more or less a show car with nuts so im not trying to get crazy hp just enough to let the vets no im here lol

besides the turbo, exhaust manifold, wastegate, ic and ic piping you will also need,

depending on your turbo's size you could use the stock system,other than the fuelpump..like i said depending on the turbo.

i have t-78 and it had stock fuel system other than walbro fuelpump but i didnt go past stock boost.

but if you plan on going higher on boost then you will need to get bigger injectors,
fuelrails, fuel pressure regulater,fuel pump or pumps.

next you will have to get a engine management system. a must!

3bar map sensor.

Blow off valve.

down pipe that fits the exhaust side of the turbo.

ignition amp.

9's all around.(sparkplugs)

good coolant temp gauge and oil temp gauge.

good clutch to hold the power.

tune.

and a big smile!

im sure i missed something, but you get the picture.

You are also gonna need an intercooler if you dont have one yet and i would get an upgraded radiator while you are at it.

Ditch the e-manage.

yes i have aluminum radaitor and a three inch v mount ic im looking into stage three clutch and suspention right now . as far as the turbo goes its just a to4e close to the stock twins but with fuel rails and injectors and pfc i could get around 400 hp out of it thats about all im looking for still need the gauges i guess wouldnt mind a boost controller to limit the boost to about 12 at highest for short periods of time but thats about it

You're not going to make 400 to the ground at 12 psi on a t04e. I'd look into a 35R, that's a real single turbo

ok well heres the new deal thers a guy in corpus thats looking at my white 94 that i have for a parts car he wants it to race and hes willing to hook me up with almost anything that i want for my 93 and some cash for it so i am willing to scrap what i have and start over what kind of a parts list for the single turbo convert is there to do it right and with the power that i want ive been looking at the gt35r and have done a little resurch on it whats he most common manifold and injector size and do i need to up grade fuell pump to the 2jz fuel pump i can also get my choice of either haltech or pfc with this deal as he has both on hand
to make it easier is there a website that shows the complete gt35r kit and components ? already have 4 inch exaust on minus dp as it didnt fit right to the stock minifold and have stage three clutch waiting install and k sport 36 point suspention waiting install

How long have you had this car? Is it running well? If it's running well and you haven't had it long why go single so soon? Just enjoy the car the way it is, gradually modify the car for more power once you understand how everything works and you've done reliability upgrades. Owning one of these cars takes a lot of attention, research, and TLC. There is no step-by-step literature per se, every single install is a little different.

I've been thinking of going single too, but I am going to put more money into track time/learning to be a better driver. If you think the car is a handful at stock power, you had better know what you're doing if you end up practically doubling the power of the motor

From you questions, you are trying something way over your current knowledge
level.

First why isn't this posted on the single turbo forum?
That is where the experience is since we have done it.

Second, go there and read all about others that have done this conversion.

Then come back with questions.

+1, Thats the best way to do it I believe. Start with a stock platform(if you can find one) then work your way up, doing upgrades to support others/future upgrades. You get to learn how to work on the car, how things work, and the feeling that you've accomplished something.
I remember I got a T2 for my first car, I wanted to do expensive upgrades from the start. I learned nothing at all thinking like that. When I got the FD, I did everything to prep for the single install, installing a part here and there until the car was ready for the conversion. I have learned a lot about how the car works now, I am glad I took the time to do everything. I even swapped motors myself in august!
This forum has helped me a lot with all my questions and concerns, it just comes down to reading everything you can, pretty much any question you have will most likely already be answered. Then go from there...

well heres the thing it may be running well but i noticed an oil leak from primary turbo when i was installing dp and exhaust so i dont know how long the primary will be working and i want to get rid of problems before they start by eliminating things that could go wrong and sence one less turbo and less vacuums meens less things to mess with i get rid of problimatic situations
