i was just wondering if any of you guys had ever used 2 ct-26s to make a tt. also how much power would it make with supporting mods or is it even worth the trouble doing so.
ct-26 tt question
- Thread starter Supraboy89
- Start date
My buddy was arguing with about seeing lots of TT mk3 manifolds on ebay, i didnt believe him because the idea seemed so irrelevent. But sure enough he was right. A single is a much easier install, cheaper, and makes more power than twins.
Im with MKIIINA. Go for it, try it, Plus it would b big time bonus points. I like the way twin turbos look, it spells out power (or looks like power)
MAybe try a small and big turbo set up like the new f-350. (by the way i have fords) but it sounds like it would work. A small turbo to spool up fast at super low RPM and a large one of the higher RPM. ?less turbo lag?:sarcasm:

+3 It's just not worth the time or money. You will make just as much HP and more with a single.dgilman360 said:

yeah if u do go for it use a small and large turbo to reduce the lag so u have a longer powerband
but im still sticking with big single mate
Its called sequential guys, and it is very very expensive, just going twin turbo is expensive but its it depends on your goals. I think if you have enough fabrication skills to make intercooler piping and downpipe, you could be able to save up enough for a nice little setup. I think a twin 57 trim setup would be badass. As long as your willing to spend money in an expert making a nice exhaust manifold for you, I think you may be able to setup something unique and powerful.
That's not how sequential setups work.
Twin 57s would spool like shit. If someone was really set on using CT26s(I'd rather use better turbos for a custom TT setup), stock CTs would be sufficient. Able to make ~300hp each.

cool thanks guys for the info. i have 2 ct-26s and was just thinkin about doing it. just a thought though. not sure if it would make the 500rwhp mark or not. or if it would be worth it.
I don't believe your exhaust pressures would adequately spool TWO CT-26 (with stock outlet wheel) anyway... if they were "parallel"... and if they were "sequential", wouldn't you want TWO DIFFERENT trims to target the low and upper range boost targets as a return on your exhaust pressure?
...many more complications, it seams... (the plumbing nightmare... the OUTLET BULK...) ...the CT-26 works well enough as a single, and if properly "hogged out" and supported with complimentary mods, can get near the number you are wanting... have you driven any 400+ HP supras lately?
Perhaps I don't know what I'm talking about here...

Sequential turbos: Some engines use two turbochargers of different sizes. The smaller one spins up to speed very quickly, reducing lag, while the bigger one takes over at higher engine speeds to provide more boost.
And I'm saying if someone somehow came up with enough time, skill, brains, and lots of $ to setup a seqential twin 57 trim setup it would spool great.

Possible, but not very worth the effort unless you really like fabrication, and think twins is the only way to get the engine compartment "Bling" your looking for.
There are many single turbo options that will flow more, and spool faster. (The MK4 guys prove it all day long.)
There are a few who have used the CT26 as a turbo for V8 setups, and they have worked out very well. (One turbo per side, so similar displacement across the exducer results in a nice street twin turbo V8 with very quick responses.)
BIC did a twin setup, but I belive it was for a 1JZ and he used GT28 T03 based turbos.
I thought about it for awhile as I had a really nice extra CT available, but eventually decided the plumbing would be insane, and the results would most likely be mundane for the amount of pain involved.

Moving past the massive lag of trying to spool a CT26 turbo with 1.5L of displacement, and the wildly expensive custom fabrication required... and all the stuff that makes it "infeasable"... I must ask, will they actually fit on the side of the motor in the engine bay?
Thus, the difference between infeasable and impossible.

haha!:biglaugh:
as for the TT fitting prolly not ct-26s, just cut out the fender and have your turbos sticking out the side of your car:biglaugh:
