High Compression in 1 cylinder others fine also smoke issue

[BryanDyer]

well 400 for a turbo is like An eBay turbo which will literally like blow up haha
if it helps when I had that turbo I sent a pic of on mine it was smoking sooo bad about a court of oil every 3-4 days bad
and it has horrible shaft play
the cxracing turbos are never instock
driftmotion sells a 57trim ct26(extremely common upgrade which I have) it's about 700$ I think
it's a good turbo
stock turbo with upgraded compressor wheel
you can hit 375 with what you want with the 57 trim with a really good tune and pushing the turbo at 15-18 psi
if you still want bigger look at the bolt ons that sound performance sells..if you want a bolt on
going t4 takes a lot of you're on a time schedule

When I finish my HX35 swap, my 57 trim will be going up for sale along with the 3" ct26 downpipe.

Really how much for the combo when you sell it? I found a few ct26 57trim one is 340 other is 200 but needs rebuild kit

I'll probably sell them both for 500.

The 57 trim has less than 10k on it and never seen more than 17 PSI. Downpipe has the same mileage.

Heh, it's all about the money. I've got the main pieces for the swap, I just need to get my manifold/turbine housing ceramic coated then get my HX rebuilt with a 62mm billet wheel. After that, a stronger clutch and full flow oil cooler.

Yea but I kinda need it soon lol

I also happened to find someone in Richmond with a garett gt4082 for 350 Idk if that's going too big also if Imma need a new exhaust manifold external wg etc. But it sounds like a decent deal to me if basically direct bolt on I'm doing some research on it now

 

[IndigoMKII]

not bolt on. that's a t3 or t4 tubo.

 

[dominicanpanda]

So should I go with a ct2657? I'm just looking for like 400whp street car I ain't trying to be the fastest in Richmond...plus I do got a budget

 

[BryanDyer]

400 is hard to get with a 57 trim and that's pushing it
look at the bolt ons from sound performance if you want 400

the 57 trim can get you close at about 375 with a good tune

What about that gt4082 should I just pass on it?
Sounds like a decent deal but then again Imma have to basically get more stuff for the car

 

[dominicanpanda]

Hey guys I also measured the inlet where the arcordian hose goes on the turbo and its like 3 millimeters over 2.5 inches

 

[BryanDyer]

so it's 2.5 inch inlet
hmmmm....not sure what turbo that would be unless it was a ct26 from some other company without any markings..

yeah becuase it's a t4 turbo and won't bolt on
you'll need a new Intake, down pipe, exhaust manifold, new drain lines for coolant and oil depending on if it's water cooled or not
it's a lot...you'll end up spending way more than 400

Now I'm in quite a dilemma should I get a 57 trim or the 60-1 trim both are good deal I'm seeing some reliability talks of the 60-1 but I just don't know
