Its oversized,shit flanges/interchangablity(op states he wants to change it later),flows similar to the 14b, and sells to mr2 fags for 3 times as much as a 14b. Why would he use it?
as an mr2 fag, i second this.
Now you have yet to have any sort of real argument besides "it sucks ass and the flanges are weird".
problem is, those are pretty damn good arguments against the CT series turbos. the turbines are too restrictive for the huge compressors that people want to install in them. eMAP skyrockets before the compressor even gets near its best efficiency islands. it makes no sense to begin a project with a turbo that sucks when he could unload it and pick up one of those $100 garretts you were talking about. start with a turbine/center section that has potential. Robb mentioned the 14b because it's a better turbo than the CT26, hands down. it spools faster and can flow more air, more efficiently. it's also a good 5lbs lighter, can be rebuilt by any creature with opposable thumbs (rebuilt toyota/hitachi turbos usually fail within the first 5k after the rebuild), and they can be upgraded as simply as bolting on a new compressor and housing, etc.
your argument FOR the CT26 is that "he already has one" and "they don't suck that bad." your first premise is a moot point given how easy it is to sell them to kids with 5SFEs that want turbos, and your second premise is false.
Wierd how your talking about the wrong fucking ct26. The supra ct26 is a good sized turbo capable of over 300whp. Did you even look at what one he has.
Using the inducer/exducer dimensions, the stock CT26 is sized between a T3 60-trim and a T3 “super†60-trim, which flow between 34 and 36 lbs/min, respectively. Given that, the stock CT26 wheel should flow about 35 lbs/min.
Stock – ~35 lbs/min (1.811†inducer, 2.559†exducer – 2.185†average
His turbo:
So i have to ask how the FUCK does the mr2 "smaller" ct26 even come into play here? You guys are trying to be mr. badass yet are talking about the wrong fucking turbo.
From the looks of this the turbine wheel looks to be larger then the stg 1 garrett turbine wheel in the 42/48 and 60/63 wierd you guys don't hate on them for being POS.
T3 Turbine - - 1.898" 2.319"
