check out the turbo i bought

[crrider80]

I won this auction and thought the turbo belonged to a 7m because the guy was unsure of what car it belonged to. I also thought it belonged to a 7m because i've heard of you guys doing the 60-1 and 10 deg clipping to the stock ct26. After further scrutiniznation the turbo does look like it belongs onto a 3sgte. Heres my question. Can i swap the interchangeable parts from my stock ct withe this one in order to make it work with my 7m engine? THanks!

Looks like a Supra CT26 to me
And the numbers (42010) in the manifold flange match a turbine housing I have right here in my hand. The water lines look bent though....

Isn't the compressor outlet facing the wrong direction?

Word, thats what I'm sayin. That is what im worried about right now.

Good eyes :thumbup:

It's gonna be a hair dryer for the cylinder head in that position. All you have to do it remove the compressor housing snap ring and rotate 90 deg where it's pointing down like it should. It is a Supra CT26 though. I was looking at the bolt pattern on the turbine housing...that's the big difference for the CT26.

Ok whew, So it will fit and work with my car right? what do you mean by this: "I was looking at the bolt pattern on the turbine housing...that's the big difference for the"? Thanks!

Yep, someone clocked the compressor housing. Just clock it back to stock, and enjoy

The CT26 for the MR2 (if my memory is correct) have 5 bolts on the downpipe flange...the compressor housings are the same except for the wastegate actuator fitting location (which is no biggie).

That turbo housing is probably not going to rotate unless you heat the exhaust side with a torch first. You have to heat the exhaust side quickly without heating up the intake side. Then it will come apart easily.

Thanks a million for all your replies!!! I should really do my research before i buy something next time. I guess I got lucky this time. THanks again.

He needs to rotate both the compressor housing (intake side) and turbine housing now that I look at it closer. The center section needs to have the water fitting on top, oil inlet/outlet on bottom. Once that is done, the compressor side needs to be rotated where the outlet points down. The compressor uses a snap ring to secure to the center section, the turbine uses a 2 piece bracket to secure.

Have fun...bigarron is alluding to these things usually have a little rust holding them together

Edit: Steve - Better lucky than good...LOL

A lot of industrial sized compressors need to be clocked before installation. But that is before it went to hell and back.

 

[gixxer750]

he shouldn't have to heat the exhaust housing. none of the ct26's need the exhaust housings clocked differently to work on any other toyota.

 

[7MsuprO]

true if someone hadn't messed with it in the past and made it face the wrong way.

 

[ViR2]

atleast it spins in the right direction (...I guess)
