upgrading intake and exhaust!

j3pz · 04-13-2007, 03:55 AM

i dont believe they are bb so my guess is journal??? i dunno, but a 57 trim ct26 is a decent upgrade. sure its not the biggest or baddest turbo, but its nothing to shack a stick at either. ill prolly go with a 57 when im ready to upgrade.

It's a journal and a 57 trim ct26 is a pretty badass turbo. It'll get you up past 400HP with enough boost and fuel. It'll probably be your best bet. It's fairly cheap and its a bolt on turbo because it uses the stock housing. It's $625 from MDCMotorsports.com. Driftmotion.com also offers this rebuild.

A Turbo rebuild for the price of a carbon fiber hood. Not to knock any one...,

But this is why I stay away from turbo's.

But you may also try horsepowerfreaks.com

Hmm whats going to make you faster a carbon fiber hood or an upgraded turbo?

We might have to do some testing on that one.

And you sure will stay away from turbo's alright, like far behind one.....

About the aftermarket intake manifold it is quite expensive to get that if you can find it, and if you do it about 600 bucks not unless you make one for yourself
Pretty expensive and don't waste your time with the ct26 turbo they tend to break with higher boost levels
Get urself something with at least a 60 trim
Or go 70 trim for bigger power
If you want a ball bearing turbo I suggest looking at the garett gt35r turbo that's should be enuff for your needs for now
It is a bit pricey but it'll be worthit
You need to get an aftermarket exhaust manifold too, top mount with a t3/t4 flange
You need a wastegate too at least 40mm
And doing all your pipiing you might wanna start looking for aftermarket bov to compliment your intake piping
I suggest getting a front mount intercooler too,
And yes the 4 inch is a little overkill
But it makes me wonder how were you planning to route that exhaust since there's barely any space underneath the car

I know to some of you turbo's are worth it. I wouldn't mind having one on a car that I would never work on. Like a porsche maybe. I just simply like not having the extra headache. My na is plenty quick for what it is when it runs and it will be again soon.

I'm not knocking you guys for doing the turbo thing. To each there own.
