CaMpylobacter Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 this thing is way too awesoem for words. since ct26 is pooched now (i think I read that somewhere??)..... you should chuck a vgt turbz at it and hit it with an arduino controller. 25psi boost just off idle, and exhaust brake effect would be so lush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatestben Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I might have a VGT turbo shortly, neds got first dibs on the first one but I'm probably getting another one that's identical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowzer Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 So it would seem all my boosts fell out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Guessing a chunk of the manifold came loose when it split and went through the turbine. Dumburgers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Shit son, so what was the sum of things going tits up over nats? Just manifold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Manifold broke, destroyed the turbine as I discovered today, damaged the oil lines and the alternator plug. So the wagon will be shoved into a corner and I'll look into repairs sometime next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 I might have a VGT turbo shortly, neds got first dibs on the first one but I'm probably getting another one that's identical. I have a Toyota VGT I've been contemplating using, but the CT26 worked so well that I don't think I'll bother. In saying that, I no longer have a CT26. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatestben Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Neds got dibs and is now in his possession. Was definitely a nice size turbo for an L and there was nothing wrong with it. Was tempted to keep but reality is I'll never spend an unnecessary dime on this wagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Stink buzz. wondering if to fork out for decent manifold or have a go making my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowzer Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 So I've been hacking away at this over the last couple of weeks, built a new much more robust manifold and improved coolant lines and a few other bits and pieces. I haven't taken any photos really, but there's this one from earlier in the evening Yuh 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
