CT-26 pictures

[Justin]

Can someone post a good picture of a CT26 center housing with all the brackets, lines, plates, etc. bolted on?

I just got my 57 Trim back and I think the builder forgot to send a block off plate back.

The oil is taken care of, and I have my original coolant lines, but there is an additional port, orifice, hole, opening, etc. that I THINK it supposed to be blocked off...


See picture.


am I missing something? yes? I think soooo...?




Edit: AfDPOFH. I am missing something. I thought so. I found a picture amongst my collection that shows the block off plate.

*sigh* just when you think you're ready to fire her up, its always something :-\

Meh. A little odd I guess. Not making excuses but I understand how busy things get sometimes.

what i dont get is why didnt toyota make it a straight through design like most other turbos? and could you just weld shut one ends, and then get another to put it on the other side? and it should cool the turbo better too... thats just my thoughts/ideas

I sent my c-26 to local shop that specializes in tractor trailer turbos. It has a little bit of play. He recognized it right away and rebuilt it for $200 but wouldn't warranty it at that price. I've put a good 10K on it and its trouble free.
I thought it had the lamest cooling - more for show than for actually cooling it. Its like a puddle of antifreeze sitting in the middle..... it's like a plate that fits over that puddle are and the gasket came in the engine rebuild kit.

I'll send you a picture if you PM me cause I have the accordian hose off and need to work on it tomorrow
