Blown turbo, need help picking a new one..
So I blew it out.. For sure.. Revv up the engine high enough while under the hood and hear it ziip~ zoom~!

So I was going to need to upgrade it anyways. Let's do it!! What should I upgrade too though? I don't want to spend a bundle! I only have about $900.. I was going to do a down pipe! So maybe I can get a dp and turbo combo from amazon or ebay or something!

T4 T04B Turbocharger
 

is a
T4 T04B Turbocharger

crap compared to a stock ct26??

I am trying to understand all this but after reading so much and looking on supra forums. The different pricing around the web are making things worse. I can get a T4 T04B Turbo for around $200 shipped.

These specs..

I can get a custom down pipe and all of this installed for $600..

if you go t4 your gonna new to get the t4 adapter for your exhaust header or just get a t4 exhaust header.. good upgrade imo

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.

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..

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.

I will have to check the pricing out.and see who has the best price and good equipment. Any recommendations?

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..

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BOV-T...Q5fAccessories

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 =)

Question.. So I have ordered the driftmotion CT26 57 trim turbo.. I looked at the trsm, it wanted me to do some pressure check on the turbo after I replace it.

Anyways, I need to just do a direct swap right?

Thats the turbo i got back from driftmotion they do great work, i did pay for the ceramic coat and polish though.

It is a direct bolt on replacement. You may end up finding yourself hitting fuel cut earlier. After upgrading turbo/intercooler piping/downpipe i started hitting fuel cut at stock boost due to increased air flow.

Shoot~! If i'm hitting fuel cut, that means 1 of 2 things.. I either have a problem, or I'M RIGHT ABOUT 300HP - 315HP (Near the fuel cut limit).. I would choose the obvious one for both of our vehicles..

hence standalone

how long does it take to get ur turbo back from driftmotion and y dont u go with the godspeed ic kit looks koo for 350

I just bought a ct-26 57trim from driftmotion (BTW it's AWESOME!) I will be sending them my old ct-26 turbo for $100 bucks.! Ya, I will check out the godspeed IC Kit.. :D

BTW They got me the turbo in about 1 1/2 week.. They had to send one off to be rebuilt, then from the rebuild place in Texas it was sent to me.. :b

ok not bad yea ima upgrade my stock ic but im stuck between that godspeed kit or the driftmotion Spearco replica intercooler wich allowes u to keep ur stock location for oil cooler but idk yet

No BOV is included.. Actually there is a whole pipe missing from the group.. Not technically missing but just not included..

Sooo~ I'm thinking of going with the DriftMotion one still..

hey yea ur right i hella missed that and i didnt really mind about the BOV i already got a HKS one but the driftmotion would be a better kit how are u going to relocate ur oil cooler

Relocate? It should bolt right up with no relocation of oil cooler.. The drift motion one I mean..
