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.

    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
    • There’s probably people who’d like to do it and then when it comes to putting their hands in their pockets they’ll all disappear into the shadows 
    • interesting....sounds like the later trans has software differences (or AM vs JDM). If I wasn't going down the tuning route it would be worth looking into retrofitting a new computer to the old box.
    • That's how it seems to me to. For the people that want huge power RBs (which it has been shown to do), this is great news, but that is not the same as trying to bring an rb 30 years forward....its not clear that there is a market of people who would pay 10s of thousands to do that
