Do these nbrs make sense for an upgraded CT26?

Just a hint, this might be better if posted in the Turbo section.

That doesn't sound like an upgraded CT-26 to me!

 

[romaniello]

Thank you.
Is that because the numbers don't match what a CT26 can be upgraded to?
Or perhaps because it won't provide satisfactory performance for an adult daily driven Supra - meaning I don't necessarily drive at WOT?

 

[Doward]

That sounds like a T4 series turbo. Do you have any pics?

 

[romaniello]

It's on flebay

Driftmotion will upgrade a good core for about the same amount of money (which includes a warranty from a reputable shop), my problem is my turbo is non-rebuildable and this looked like a viable alternative.

No part of that turbo is from a ct 26. It has been designed to fit to MKIII parts, but it's definitely not Toyota in any way. As an ebay veteran, I have experience buying from many sellers. His rep looks good, and checking his details, the products he sells, seem to satisfy his buyers. If I had the money for the turbo, and the necessary upgrades, I might be inclined to buy that turbo, but then, I've had pretty good luck on ebay.

Also, after re-examining the photos, it seems there might be issues with the oil connector, and I'm not even sure it has water cooling. Maybe I wouldn't get it after all.

I decided against; found a nice guy locally who's switching to a 1J and let my have his working CT for a really good price.

Thank you everybody.

i was interested in that turbo too until i looked at the oil hook up dosent look like a direct replacement. lookin at the one from www.rabidchimp.com now

That turbo looks to be a bolt on T4 setup (similar to the bolt on SP and JT series turbos) - that said, it is obviously clocked incorrectly (Easily fixed)

 

[romaniello]

So, what you're saying is, you wouldn't necessarily steer us away from it?

Thank you.

I'm saying it looks like it could be a good deal - I'd approach with caution (pay with CC, etc, to CYA)
