CT-26 and Turbo TImer, is the CT-26 to big for the 7afe. Options

[afroman]

hi guys, i searched alittle but i had a couple of questions. i bought a ct-26 off a supra the threw a rod bearing, and i am wondering if it will be good for the 7afe. i have everything but the manifold and turbo. i am having a manifold made for me and have to decide on the turbo i want to use. so i need to know if it will work. it seems that people like to use a t3 or t3-t4. Also i want to buy a turbo timer. i was thinkin an HKS unit but i wasnt sure what harness i need (seems to be car specific) and how hard they are to wire in. any help will be greatly appreciated.

The supra CT26 is different from the 3sgte's CT26 (it's larger); but overall, it'd still be fine for a 7afe

They dont make harnesses for cars that dont have turbo, u'll need to hardwire w/e timer u get.

Also the supra CT26 will have a little slower spool up. It is a larger single entry turbo, whereas the celica and mr2 ct26's are twin entry, which are made for a smaller displacement engine.

go with T3. Its small, gets fast spool and etc and etc...

About timer, get the Apexi, or Greddy. Easy to install and etc. and etc.

thanks for the info guys. For the guys that have installed the timer did u just go to toyota dealership to get a pin read out for the ecu, or how did u go about that. I tried to get one for when i am goin to install the safcII but they didnt have any idea what i was talking about.(was goin to use the how to but thats for 94-95 cars ibelieve).

You can easily find that information online, just gotta search for it.

Chiltons books have that in them also.

here is something id like to know....

how many of you have a turbo timer and an alarm? how did you get the 2 to work together.

[Supersprynt]

I had this problem also, my alarm wouldnt go on because the car was running. I had to disengage the ignition wire from the alarm, so that the alarm doesnt know that the car is running. This makes the alarm less effective tho because if you broke into the car and the alarm was sounding, you couldnt start it, now you can. But i've increased the sensitivity of the alarm, a lil too much now since it'll beep while the car is running.

thats y its easier to get an alarm that has turbo timer as a feature

[lagos]

yeah...i noticed viper has some alarms with turbo timers... how well do they work tho? i know aftermarket timers have lots of safety features and let you disable the timer incase of emergency.
