Oddly enough, a CT-26 has a CT-26 sized flange. It doesn not match the bolt pattern of any Garret turbo.

Why not just get a 3sgte exhaust manifold??? If you are looking for something aftermarket... there really isn't a lot to choose from.... most tend to crack..... or are WAYYY too huge for a CT26. I think Berk Technologies makes a decent one for the 3sgte. If you are looking for BIG .... Full Race makes big ass manifolds.... I think Justin had/has one.... but that won't bolt up to your 26.

 

^ Sure as i'll ever be :lol: :lol:

Why would you use a CT26 on a V6??? CT26 is a baby turbo..... get something bigger.

 

I agree. I don't like ct-26's either. Better turbo's around.

 

ct's kinda suck for the money unless you get one free, better off buying a t3/t4 or something along those lines

 

its not going on a 3vz fe no more... my car is gonner... poor car... im getting a acura cl now... i wanted to get a es300 but couldnt find a manual.

i thought i should ask you toyota guys about the ct26.

bought it off ebay for $5110 usd sweet deal eh

mines upgraded with a 60-1 hifi wheel.. way to big for what its going on now, a 2.3L honda

 

Cool, I like it. No, I really wouldn't use a CT-26 on that car.

When you read there, it just seems like every boosted Honda only lastest a few weeks, for various reasons. Go figure! :lol: Your goal is to have your DIY turbo last longer than anything on that board.

 

Yea.... seems like no boosted honda lasts more than a few months.

haha .. knock on wood man... supusidly this engine, the f23 is the best of honda engines too boost, low compression ratio and steel cylinder sleves or sumthing like that. i didnt even know that.. lucky me. this is the same engine in the I4 accords of the same period. and there are a few of them running pretty good, just as long as you dont boost over 10 psi.

yeah might be too laggy right? well i already have the turbo, so ill see how it works.

 

also what is the stock waste gate actuator set at?

 

^ Should be about 7psi.

 

^ Should be about 7psi.

how can you increase it?

 

^ Boost controller.

Or unplug the vacuum hose from the wastegate actuator. The turbo will keep spooling till it or your engine blows up. :lol:

Use a boost controller.

 

If you make the hose going from the actuator to the pipe (or compressor housing) around 16' long. You can cut the spool between "normal" and having the wastegate completely disconnected in half.

If you T a small sealed canister onto the line, you cut it further. If you dont' go overboard with the canister size (I'd stay at, or under a 20oz coke bottle... Metal please!) you shouldn't have any fear of overboosting.


Ghetto, but it works, and it's cheaper than building a small MBC at the plumbing store! :lol:


Don't get the wrong impression, ct-26's are not bad turbo's. It just that some turbo's with the same spool can flow more air, and some turbo's that flow more air spool faster.
