hey just wondering if its worth it to run one of these, and any feedback i can get on them from you guys, i have one i got for free from my brother, and now am in the process of trying to get highroller to help me build a log mani so i can put the CT on my jetta, he said that if i can make a post on here and convince him he will help me :1

the turbo is stock came on a motor my bro bought, has minimal shaft play,
the jetta is an '87, has a 1.8L 8V, it will be running a digifant II setup controlled by Megasquirt

oh and here is some **** for your trouble

 

if its free its worth it.

 

not if you own a Jetta

 

Somebody help this nig out, Would his shitty *** **** motor even spool this by redline :1

 

~35 lbs/min mass flow, 1.811” inducer, 2.559” exducer

Using the inducer/exducer dimensions, the stock CT26 is sized between a T3 60-trim and a T3 “super” 60-trim.


CT26's are for ****

 

well if you have a ct26 it came off of 1 of 2 motors a 7mgte thats a 3.0L straight 6in a mk3 supra(i own one) or a 3sgte out of a 2nd gen mr2. Now if its from the 3sgte 2.0L I4 out of 2nd gen mr2 its going to have a smaller exhaust side which is a split runner design this would probley work a lot better for then the supra ct26. If you do have the supra ct26 you may be able to spool it but it'll be in the higher rpm's on the supra mine spools 2800 full boost by 3200

 

you beat me to it smart ***






nun the less it will work be a man and make it happen stop being a ----- and make it happen

 

Its from a Supra.

 

well it'll work but i i have no idea when it'll spool ou could go ahead and build your manifold then later on swap a mr2 exhaust housing and wheel on the turbo

 

Turbine housings on the mr2/alltrac turbos are completely different than the supra ct. They are not interchangeable.

Sort of true. Although I doubt you will get 35 lbs/min in real world conditions. The CT26 is nothing more than a poorly designed turbo toyota outsourced from a generic manufacturer, and slapped on their cars for cheap. Most ct's are now pushing 18 years, and most need rebuilt regardless.

Its only redeeming factor is the size of the turbine exducer.

TO THE OP: Is the Jetta a 2 door or 4 door? If its 4 door dont waste your time because your car was built in either mexico or america and will fall apart soon regardless. IF it was a 2 door its built in germany and when the apocalypse comes there will be cockroaches, honda civics, and 2door jettas left to rule the earth.
Honestly Ive delt with all forms of the CT26 on multiple cars and engines, and always had turbo related problems. There are better solutions out there unless you absolutely dont have any money to spend, the CT will be more trouble than its worth. my $0.02
