Well people i would like to start a project to put a CT26 from a Toyota Supra into a RB25DET. The reason being this turbo is a T3 and has an internal wastegate. Ive read an article on the internet about highflowing this turbo and turning into a hybrid T3/T4 turbo. The turbo would flow very well upto 300-400hp. The highflow would be just putting a t4 compressor wheel and front housing machined and a t4 exhaust housing(if chasing heaps of power).

Ive mad a list of costs below and wondering what peoples opinion are;

Standard T3 ct26 Turbo $200

Highflow $500 (only t4 compressor wheel and machine housing)

Oil / Water Lines $100

$800 TOTAL

T4 Exhaust Manifold $800 (If wanting more power)

is this possible on this budget, and i missing anything?

cheers

Dont the CT26 turbos use twin scroll exhaust housings, with the twin internal wastegates...

Check that it will work all right with you std exhaust manifold. I think it will be easier with similar result to high flow an old Nissan turbo with the T3 exhaust housing (VG30 etc), that way you can be sure that at least it will bolt up to your current dump, water/oil etc, as the CT26 wiht the twimn wastegates may have a different dump flange????

mate u always come up with some weird shit u wanna do to your car :D

Some other costs to consider, dump pipe, pipe from intake to turbo, turbo to cooler. Oil and water lines, hmm, 100 seems a bit lean, perhaps 200 would be closer maybe more

If this turbo is rated 300 to 400bhp, it wouldnt be much of an improvement over stock, alot of money for potentially little return.

If you are getting anywhere over 200rwkw, other things you need to consider is a fuel pump and AFM upgrade, possibly clutch too if you havent already done them.

    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
    • Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?
    • Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
