ct-26 turbo

[IanS13]

Has any one ever used a ct-26 in there kat i have one just sitting here because i replaced the engine in my supra and have a very good ct-26 left over thinging about putting it on my 240sx to replace my small, t3 50trm the t3 is a great turbo spools quick but just wanted to know if the ct would work i know it's good for over 300hp on the supra so may be well over 350 on kat. am only looking for say 280, 290; my t3 is makig 230 right now @ 8psi

HP for a motor is highly related to airflow going through it. A given turbo doesn't somehow magically make more power (or airflow) on one motor than another. There is the possibility that one motor can be better matched to a turbo's max flow capabilities than another, but coming to that conclusion requires comparing the motor's airflow rates with the turbo's compressor maps.

Keep in mind as well, that the maximum rated airflow rate of a turbo occurs at a relatively narrow range of boost. And at that, a motor run at that boost may never reach that airflow rate at that boost level. Smaller sized turbos are going to be more likely to be able to hit the max flowrate of the turbo, but larger turbos for a give application will rarely ever come close.

the ct-26 is not that big of a turbo, i do understand what your saying but you know when it comes to turbos bigger is better to get the girls
