Testament Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 are you using the VGT turbo or did you find something else/another CT26? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Such win. Keen to see this at wagnats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 are you using the VGT turbo or did you find something else/another CT26?Yup Hilux VGT Fired it up tonight, did a few stationary doorts to test the boosts. Has a mild exhaust leak and the alternator still doesn't work, so those are tomorrows jobs. Exhaust is now done though so it's basically driveable again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 I reckon the CT26 looked better, due to the larger compressor, however this Hilux unit should theoretically be better suited to the engine. Also the intake to the new turbo looks dumb. Old turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hey did you end up getting a controller for the VGT?Yeah man the older setup way tougher. i love seeing the compressor in full sight for max intake noise tough lookingness . Watching the jet engine ramping up was something else . P.s wanna buy a t45 with 1.0A/r  Garret?Would take till 3g to get boost , but it would look pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Wagon now has a WOF Haha bigger turbo would be sweet. I've been playing around with the idea of a compound setup for awhile, however I think I'll save that for a better engine.

johnnyfive Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Happy to see/hear this thing is doing stuff again. Â If ditching any of the L series turb stuff keep me in mind. Will likely buy to adorn shed walls with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 New turbo setup has been so lush so far, and most importantly, it hasn't fallen off! The boost control is a bit vague due to the funky angle the actuator has to work on but I'll correct it one day.  I've whipped some new shocks in the front and tightened up the steering box which has improved the handling soooo much! It no longer smashes into the road and now has semi-responsive turn in. Woo!  The exhaust has had a bit of work recently, the old flexy was ripped to bits and in a bit of the wrong place   So I chopped it out and wacked a new one in further up the line, so the downpipe now hits the road post flexy and doesn't put all the stress on the turbo   As I've since found out it's now high enough to barely scrape. Although..   There was once an exhaust hanger there, but that fucked off somewhere in the Coromandel.  The zorst then took a pounding   Lols. So I patched it up   And hung it up   Heeeeaps more betterer mayte.  Still heaps to do but highest priority right now is a manual box. So till next time, here's a lush as fuck view from the trip home from Wagnats  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would take till 3g to get boost , but it would look pretty cool Controller is just a standard wastegate actuator hooked up through a check valve. It works pretty average but it works. Yuh bigger turbo would be super lush but the low down torques this thing gives over the CT26 is phenomenal. Insta-powar! However those Kia Sorentos have a much bigger awesome looking Garret VNT and they pump out 200HP from a 2.2TD, which is all kinds of badass.  Happy to see/hear this thing is doing stuff again.  If ditching any of the L series turb stuff keep me in mind. Will likely buy to adorn shed walls with.  I ditched it all awhile ago sorry, I think I spend the funds on beer while thinking about boobs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowzer Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 I haven't had a solid look over it yet but I think the chassis is undamaged, so it may be fixable if I can find a new front end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 Or I'll find an older wagon and whack the shell on this chassis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowzer Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 Was daydreaming or something and failed to notice traffic had stopped until too late, and slid gracefully into the back of a SUV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
