New turbo is finally here... (pics)

[GrimJack]

The greedy UPS driver showed up this morning with a box. The Missus paid him to leave us alone and leave the box here.

When I finally got home and unwrapped it, this is what I found. Now all I have to do is figure out what I need for oil fittings... and how to mount a wastegate actuator.

Oh - and the center section is 1/2 inch wider than a CT26, which will put the compressor outlet 1/2 inch closer to the front of the car. Hopefully my lower hardpipe (or the couplers, anyway) has that much flex... or I'm going to have to cut it down a bit.

Anyway, on to the pics.

Sweet!...Sorry if i missed it but what is this turbo and specs?

 

[BJ91T]

looks like the turbonetics bolt on 62-1 i belive i know of 2 people that have run that with great sucess grim where can i find that turbo i have been looking for a while with no sucess.

thanks in advance
BJ

Ps i can get an exact list for an oil line setup for that turbo if you need it a buddy of mine is running it right now.

 

[GrimJack]

Close - this is the turbonetics bolt on 60-1 hifi. HorsepowerFreaks can get them. I haven't seen much in the way of specs on them yet, this is supposed to be 500 hp capable, which is more than I care to run.

I'd appreciate the oil line setup list, probably make my life a lot easier!

you dont by chance have a TurboNetics part# do you, i can get these through work but there catalog sucks/////////

 

[BJ91T]

its the same turbo i plan to run except i am looking at the "original" instead of "hifi" due to a 4in inlet on the original.

I will get that list to you asap

later

Looks good Dave. Hope you didn't stiffen up while holding that thing in front of the missus, she might get jealous!

 

[empera]

damn thats nice....good job on that purchase :thumbup:

 

[SupraMario]

O.O Nice!

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

i wanna be the 1st to ask. what are you doing with that old ct? i know it was blowing smoke, but i am interested in the wheel and the inducer housing. let me know
oh and nice better turbo.

 

[GrimJack]

The old turbo wasn't blowing smoke, it has death whine and won't boost over 3 psi. Pretty sad for a 60-1 upgraded CT, I might add. I stopped driving it immediately, but even so, I suspect that it's going to need all the usual work for a blown turbo, possibly a new compressor cover, definitely a new compressor wheel. The shaft play is pretty bad.

On the other hand, the exhaust side is almost literally brand new, no cracks at all.

Plan is to get a quote on having it rebuilt, and if it's worth doing, go that route and sell it when it's finished. If I can't get my money back out of it that way, I'll sell the remains cheap as parts.

89Turbo - the part number for the turbo itself, or the accessories to bolt it up? I can look up the part number pretty easily, I *think* it's the Turbonetics number...

[boosted17]

That's a sick turbo!

 

[Justin727]

beauty!

 

[hottscennessey]

I'm glad to see more than an upgraded CT-26 on this beauty. Hopefully you won't have problems with the boost creep as some people do with the turbonetics exhaust housings.

 

[noah89t]

let us know how easily it bolts up. it sure is pertty!

 

[jdub]

Nice!

Get the turbine housing ceramic coated before you put it in...really helps w/ radiated heat to the bay. I believe you have a coater in your neck of the woods too...ask for a 2000 deg rated coating.


BTW - Ever go to the Foggy Dew?

Dave;

Very Nice! Looks like it "will be on",:naughty: if you get my drift,:biglaugh: when I'm up and running again! I have a "beefy" adjustable wg actuator, that might work on it also. 25psi capable,... I think?! It was the one on my GT3076R.:icon_bigg

just use the stock acwatewr and make bracket or call them for the proper one
