hey guys, ive been contemplating this for a while ive just never got around to actully posting up a question.

Anyway, ive been offered a ct26 turbo and a new rebuild kit off a gt4 celica for free from a family member. after a quick search on here i didnt really find anything about an rb25 application (only rb20).

so i was wondering, can this turbo be used effectivly on am rb25 if a long morot was purchased and what power figuers is this turbo capable of? :)

Don't. The CT26 from the 3SG is too small. The one from a 1JZ is better suited, but hardly worth the effort to fit it up. Having to buy a long motor, deal with manifolding and plumbing and piping and all the other horror just to use a free turbo, makes the freeness of the turbo completely irrelevant.

ye there is...

2nd hand gcg highflow, fmic and nistune will see you to ~230rwkw in a 25 for 2k

fmic $500

2nd hand gcg hiflow $1000

nistune supply, install & tune $1000

= $2500

dont forget the new gaskets and any studs that may break during installation.

would need at least $3500 minimum for 250rwkw range.

he will need turbo back exhaust, fuel pump, injectors and Z32 afm to maximise the highflow.

you will spend more on supporting parts to actually have the CT26 fit. wrong flange patterns and all the rest.

you could simply send your stock turbo to hypergear and have it sent back for $960 with everything you need to bolt it straight back on with minimal fuss.

you will then need the suggested FMIC, TBE and a fuel pump as minimum before you go get it tuned. At minimum you are looking at about $800 for a china spec exhaust that will probably be extremely loud. $500 on a china FMIC kit then the suggested $1000 on a nistune (these are ROCK BOTTOM prices and you will probably pay more) and $200 on a fuel pump

you will need to install these yourself to meet these prices

Then you will be limited to 220rwkw by your stock injectors and stock afm, add another 1000 atleast to purchasing these and you will be able to chase 240kw.

If you want more you can get a different option from hypergear which can cost up to about 1550, and go a lot harder. however you will then need to mod more cooler piping and a new intake pipe, budget another $500 for this.

Your call, weve covered this sort of thing over and over.

second hand highflow's go for as little as $800 and a second hand fmic kit will be ~200

nistune shuold be less than 1k

however you are correct, he will need an exhaust, as well as a clutch

injectors, afm and fuel pump can be purchased at a later date if he wants

<br />isnt that what they use on the TT soarers?! They are pretty small.<br />
<br /><br /><br />

No. Those are CT12s - like a smallish t25 size, almost T2. The Toyos also use CT20s, which are like a T28/T3 at the lower end of the Nissan Hitachi sizing and the CT26 which is like the upper end of the Nissan Hitachis. Sort of.

I had a Gt4 celica and had the CT26 highflowed by precision turbos apparently it had a TO4Z compressor wheel fitted and 360 degree thrust bearing and was told it would flow 400hp :thumbsup:

But dont use it on an RB as all the boys said sell up buy a turbo car that somebody else has pumped all their coin into for sweet F A :cheers:

Toyota Surf turbo, eww.

Sorry for off topic but

Toyota surf is actually a ct20b. The ct26 was fitted to 3sgte and 7mgte. So the ct26 isn't a bad option if it's the one from a supra/soarer. Might be slightly laggier then stock but yer.

    • I clean my wheels every time I was the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash, followed by wash and wax, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, there also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
