Hello, I was looking for a turbo and I could get a dual ball bearing gt66(t3/t4 flange) for cheap. From what I've read in searches, it seems that the ct-26 has a unique flange. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

i dont see a Question in here at all??
if u get that turbo then u need a t3/t4 flanged manifold....
yes the ct has a unique flange only the Ct,JT,boss,SP,some Turbonetic turbos can directly bolt on the the sotck mani.
I was wondering what flange the ct-26 is, or if its unique, which it seems to be. Guess if I want that turbo I'll have to get a manifold
Go on ebay for the t4/t3 or w/e manifold.
there like 150+ and tubular. it worth it!
if u dont wanna spend the money then get one of the turbos i suggested so u can use the stock manifold.

May have to consider it. What company makes a good manifold w/ t3/t4? Can get the gt66 for $375, unused, shipped, from a friend, either way it would be cheaper than the stock rebuild I was considering.

i dunno look on ebay and look at the feedback. i wouldnt know cuz im using the stock mani w/ the JT series turbo.\
u know about the feul mods etc etc right...
Yup. Probably wouldnt crank up the boost, it would just be nice to make the same power on lower boost
haha ya. The plan originally was to get an upgraded ct-26 and run like 10 psi. Its a DD and dont want to go too far right now. The stock computer would be able to compensate for the increased flow correct? Would the stock fuel system be able to keep up(im assuming it would)? Anything else I would need(other than the manifold)?

im not sure if the computer will compensate for the inc. flow. how much boost u planning to run.
A c-26t running 7-8 psi is totally different from a GT66 turbo running 7-8 psi
I dont know if your feul system will be able to keep up, there 15+ years old and so is your feul pump and you prolly wanna pull out the inj to do a flow test to make sure each one is running 440 cc.
u need coolant lines and oil lines.
u can always send the CT-26 to MDC motorsports (VENDOR here)
and re can do a Rebuild i think its like around 300.
replaces everything and cleans everything except for the actuator
visit the site.
this sounds way easier than getting the gt66 and manifold.
i would reccommand doing this since you want it as a DD
Would probably run say 8 or 9 at the most. Honestly I'm new to Supras and dont know how the stock computer works. Does it increase fuel using the map sensor? Or the maf? Both? RPMS? I just want to make sure since it will be flowing more air at a lower pressure than the ct-26.
seriously dude if your new to supras.
search, search, seach b4 u buy that gt66 and mani or you'll just have headaches.
seriously think about letting John @ MDC rebuild the turbo, he has done a million ct for the people of this community.

Ya I'll have to check that out. Im posting for my gf, its her car. The place she got a quote from was like 550 bucks for a rebuild w/ to4e wheel and I thought that was a little steep so I've been investigating other options. She doesnt really want to go all out on it, so kinda trying to stay away from after market tuners(dont even really want to mess w/ a SAFC) and fuel mods; maybe down the road.
tell her to get on the boards. if its her car it would be better if she knew what was going on with it.
first off a t3 and t4 are 2 different things. the ct26 flange is different, so you get 3 different flanges total. the ct flange is close to the t4 flange but not enough. if she doesnt want to go with fuel mods and all she doesnt need that other turbo because she wont be able to use it effectively on a relatively stock setup.
550s for a rebuild and upgrade on the intake wheel isnt bad at all. for a stock rebuild is around 300-400 alone depending how bad things are. since you dont seem to know much about the car why are you going to rebuild the turbo? is there something wrong with it?

hmm i forgot to ask why u even wanted a new turbo....?!?
did it blow any seals, chipped blades??
^^ i agree with MKIINA, she needs to join the boards and why does she need a new turbo

She doesnt really know anything about cars at all, much less turbo cars. I know that T3 and T4 flanges are different. I forgot what flange the turbo my friend has, so I mentioned both.
Please dont insult my intelligence. Just because I dont know the specifics for Supras doesnt mean I'm retarded(although you guys woudl probably agree I am, turbo mustang haha). The car just got done w/ body work and maintenance/tune up, and the turbo has A LOT of shaft play and burns up alot of oil.

no one called u retardid my friend....
and i dont think ne one insulted your intelligence in ne way. but w/e....were just trying to help.
if there a lot of shaft play then yea get a rebuild of the ct-26.
if she has no idea about cars, fuel mods, or turbos. thenthere is no need for her to get a bigger turbo.
Ct-26 rebuilt is good for a DD and suitable for her

haha ya you're right. supras just frustrate me haha. thank you guys for all your help.
so the stock ECU wont be able to compensate, and the stock fuel system will be inadequate, even at like 6 psi?

but im not promising ne thing!!!!
she might run to RICH or lean out. I cant comare flow between the 2 turbos even if she does run low boost like 6 psi.
we have no idea what kind or tune up or maintance she has done. She needs to join the boards or she needs to be right next to you.
Has she done a headgasket job, ( our supras have a high % of blowing HG).
if she gets the GT66 trubo then you'd have to make a Custom DP 3" and 3" catback Exhaust, thats $$
like i said my friend a rebuild of the CT-26 is perfect for her.
send to MDC and i promise you you will have no headaches.
who want sthe GT 66 turbo you or her??
if she wants it, tell her she will have a BIG FUKN HEADACHE.
