Okay, my manifold is almost done and I'll be bolting up the turbo once again, but I'm debating about which turbo to use. I can stick with my t3 from a merkur which has a compressor ar of .60 or I can switch to a toyota mr2 ct-26. I'm not too familiar with these toyota turbos so can anyone help me out. Thanks. Oh yah, I'll be using an in line fuel pump and 5:1 fmu for fuel.

 

Well on D-series and B-series, the Ct26 turbo is a bitch to use, since the o2 exhaust housing aims the downpipe directly at the block (if I remember right) now, you maybe able to use it since your putting this on a h22 correct? I think I saw your manifold, you aim the flange straight off right?

As far as the turbo being good for your engine, I dont see why not. People claim these turbos can produce 300hp.

And if you need someone to buy that meurker xr4ti turbo, let me know

yah, that was my manifold and it is on an h22a. I will be using a copy of the fmax manifold for a prelude but I'm just wondering what turbo would be better for my engine. IMO, these two turbos are quite similar but I have not worked with a ct26 from an mr2 before. Which one do you think is better for the h22a?

 

also look for 300z turbos from the 86-89 years, and GNX/turbo regal turbos

they all have 60 trim turbos with .63 ar compressors and either .48 or .63 stage 1 turbines depending on the model (so basically the same specs as the merkur)

 

Are you sure the 1g 300zx's turbo have a 60 trim? I had a JDM one, and I think the ar's were .48 and .42.. very small turbo.

Jeff

 

Yeah, the 1g 300zx has a .63 A/R on the exhaust side. I am currently running one on my saturn.

Ok, then... I definatly know that turbo was not off a 300zx. It was at a JDM wholesaler, and it just said JDM vg30, so maybe it was off another turbo car over their, but the turbo was soooo small.

Jeff

 

its a .63 ar on the intake side as well on the 86-89 t3's with 60 trim compressor

the exhaust wheel is a .63 i just had a guy check for me the other day, he looked inside the exhaust flange and it said .63. according to the wheel size he gave me its a stage 1 wheel turbine. so if you wanted any old .48 trubine housing will bolt up if the .63 spools too late

 

so..........I take it nobody knows much about the ct-26 from an mr2 and how it compares to the t3 from a merkur and how it would work on my h22a? hahhahahha
