Blown turbo, need help picking a new one..

[Supra Saiyan]

Called up the guy at drift motion. He was very helpful. I will be putting in the order for the 57 trim jan. 5th. Then send him the core..

The 57 trim besides being able to take more boost will have a much quicker spool right? See I don't have the boost controler yet, not the fuel upgrades either. I don't want to go messing other things up. I will be installing a 3'' down pipe with the turbo.. I already have a 3'' exhaust. Just a little side note..

I would probably go ct-26 57 trim from driftmotion send them your old one and they will rebuild it with gerret internals or if its not rebuildable you can buy one for around 600. 500 if they use the core.

there is a large discussion about using the cx racing turbo on supramania.
also one about monsterpower turbos. the general agreement is.. run it till it blows.. then buy another one there so inexpensive. havent checked the thread in awhile but so far it seems it was a mixed bag. from people stating them crap. to others running 14 or more boost having it for a year or more.
cx racing isnt a drop in. it is not oil and coolant cooled. oil only. so you have to get a bypass hose for it.. that is sold on drifmotion also.

good luck.

yea adam's a good guy
supermania has a whole forum dedicated to driftmotion and their turbos.. check it out.

dude. you wanna see a good power boost w/o spending alot. get a new inter cooler and your turbo. you will see a noticeable difference.
then worry about your downpipe, injectors. and what not.

So I found one on driftmotion. It's a 2.5'' pipe kit. Good for 700whp. $395.. Seems like a good buy, I mean I am already dropping some change there. They seem to be a good source of quality equipment.

Well, this month I can feel fortunate enough to be able to do all the upgrades.. By that I mean..

- Turbo CT26 50Trim Rebuilt from Drift Motion (Good for 375WHP, which is plenty)
- 3'' Custom built down pipe
- 2.5'' FMIC kit from Drift Motion (Good for 700WHP, more than I need)
- AEM TrueBoost Gauge

(This should be $1500 including the DP install by this local muffler shop)

Next month is maintenance month.. Transmission, oil, and radiator fluid changes.

you can find intercoolers off ebay. not much difference. there are about what. 4 or 5 different type of fin style design. find one thats in your budget. dont exactly have to go sperco replica.
our stock one is fine. the only reason i say replace it is because its old..
a new one will certainly allow you to feel a difference, that or a good cleaning of the old one.

Ya I found this one here for cheap but I don't know a whole lot about intercoolers. This one is only rated to 400hp but is tha whp idk.. Lol, besides that I see getting one with higher HP ratings would only lead to more protection.. So I am back to driftmotions kit thats rated to 700whp ($399).

Here is the ebay one I found..

intercoolers are the same across the board. their not, but they are.

Tube n fin design is the best surface to cooling ratio. but who gives a rats ass. unless your a hardcore track racer, its just abunch of smoke IMO.
rated for 400hp should be enough to fit your needs man. save yourself 200 bucks. but hell if you have it to blow, save yourself 200 bucks and buy me something =)
