CT26 Toyota turbo

[Bluevitz-rs]

Anyone have any experience with this older Toyota dual scroll turbo?

[Ryze268]

We got those off MR2s down here, they're good to about 15 psi then it's pretty much pushing hot air. The ceramic compressors aren't too nice either, though we've never tried one on a small engine like a Yaris.

Id only be looking for 3-5 psi on a customized tubular manifold from an MR2

[Bluevitz-rs]

anyone else have any info on this turbo?

[Ryze268]

What exactly do you need to know? What car are you planning to use it on?

[Bluevitz-rs]

My own car.

I just picked one up locally for cheap but it needs a rebuild. The bearings are shot.

Once your manifold is made correctly, you should have no problem using this turbo. Again, it its the version with the ceramic compressor be careful.

have you decided on a place to design and fab the manifold?

[Bluevitz-rs]

Doing it myself.

very nice

Would the yaris be able to spool it decently? My mk3 supra obviously has a ct26 and I need 2500RPM from the torque 7m motor to get to spooled fully.

The CT26 on a supra is different than the one from the MR2. The supra CT26 is a single scroll and has different size compressor wheel. The one from the MR2, which I'm using is a twin scoll and was on the 3S-GE. So it takes about 2700-3000 to fully spool up.
