CT-26 Rotation Help
 

Ok, Im trying to rotate my CT-26 so it doesnt face the block with the new mani. I pulled the wg c clip thingy to it would let go of the door in the hot side. And have loosened and pulled off the CHRA clamps. Center Housing Rotating Assembly. And its old so im sure its rusted real nice together. Any suggestions on how to pull apart? Or anything im missing? I have yet to use blunt force trama on the hot side...

Re: CT-26 Rotation Help

Re: CT-26 Rotation Help

i should go ---- with mine tonight

Re: CT-26 Rotation Help
 

Pb blaster works good, my t3 .60/.63 took a few small smacks with a smaller rubber hammer to budge the exhaust side, compressor side was cake. If you take it apart, clean it up nice

Re: CT-26 Rotation Help
 

I sprayed a bunch of pb blaster all over mine. Tomorrow im going to spin it, and mock it up on the car. When its not to late to wake people up with me beating on ----.

Re: CT-26 Rotation Help
 

rawr do you know if these have a positioning pin. i am to lazy to go crack mine open

Re: CT-26 Rotation Help
 

i think they do. atleast the compressor side. not sure about the exaust side. Ill find out tomorrow. Some guy on a celica website said he had to grind his off but it was only on one side, and I dont rember if it was the compressor or the exaust.

Re: CT-26 Rotation Help
 

o aight, some super penatrant. Hey on the compressor side, on the back facing the center section there is a large c clip that looks like it keeps the compressor housing facing the stock way. instead of messing with the center section/hotside, could i just pull that c clip and pull the compressor down? or does the oil/coolant pathways need to stay they same on that side? or does that even matter? thanks for all the help guys, and you got any pics of the turbo rotated yet?

Re: CT-26 Rotation Help
 

Yo, The PB Worked ------- slicker than greased owl ----! came right apart after 5 minute set. And there was only one small pin from the hotside to the center section. I dont know why the other guy had to grind his down. There only set pins, and it just sits in a hole on the center section. So i just pulled the pin right out. Only thing now is the oil lines both point right down. With that be a problem?

Re: CT-26 Rotation Help
 

no the oil line come that way with the feed and drain on the same side. just make sure the drain is pointed down. do you have the original feed line?

Re: CT-26 Rotation Help
 

yup, all the original lines are connected to the center section.

Re: CT-26 Rotation Help
 

what did you do to get that exaust side off. this things been pb blasted the hell out of and ive beat on it for awhile and i cant get it to crack open. i think i might have to use some heat on it.

Re: CT-26 Rotation Help
 

i figure i might ask this but what size t3 does a ct26 compare to. i have heard some many different things but figured if it came off a 3liter stock then i should eb good for my b18

Re: CT-26 Rotation Help
 

some people say a large t3 and some people say a t3/t4. but theres not realy any way to pin it down because toyota never released compressor maps for it.

Re: CT-26 Rotation Help
 

just lust the Pb set for about 5min, then witha claw hammer i gave the hot side a few wacks all around, and the compressor side some light ones in the stronger areas, after turning it a bunch of times, i finally could get a screw driver inbetween and used it as a wedge for a bit, came right apart.

Re: CT-26 Rotation Help
 

I think the supra ct-26a falls right above the biggest stock t3, buit not quite to what most of the smaller good t4 hybrids run. That's just my opinion... When I rotate them, Penitrating oil / rust remover. Then I stick a rounded off 2*2 in the compressor housing & another one in the turbo housing. Never gives me a problem, but I've never delt with one in a horrible condition.
