just bought a turbo, t03......NO FLAME Options

[JoeyIsFunny]

CONCLUSION:
t03= smaller than ct26 which to everyone here seems too small to even be useful. BUT the fact is that it still pushes air and i am NOT looking to try to get the maximum amount of power out of it and the engine. AND using a paerformance calculator all i need to do for better performance(with this turbo) is get a compressor with 60 or super 60 trim, and even with the 45 trim i will go straight through the center 74% island and at 4500RPM i will just barely cross into the 70%(both at 7psi at 10psi it will go farther into 70%) and with the super 60 i will be just shy of the middle of the sweet spot.....so I will say it now. I will make this turbo work. It won't break any records, it won't be the most powerful, and you all might not agree with it..........BUT there is more than just a ct-26

Go for it man! Thats awesome! Screw all these naysayers here. Do what you want and be different from everyone else out there. Who cares if its not the fastest? Whats better... being just like everyone else and being fast, or doing something totally out of the ordinary (such as piggybacking 2 of those turbos together!) and learning alot by it and getting a good bit of power out of it too??? Id say go buy another one and just go crazy, engineer that beast to work!

CT26 sucks. The only advantage it has is simple installation with the stock manifold. Switch over to the mitsu style turbos - more efficiant, faster spool, more boost.

[zipstrips]

are you refering to the 1.8 or 2.2????

yah it does suck.... but I would take a ct26 over some junkyard hood rigged turbo setup. and why would you care if your not looking for much power?

cheep turbo = cheep performance....

Who cares?? Let him do what he wants, its his money and his time. Why discourage?? If he wants to make a project out of it and learn something new why try to stop him?

Twin turbo it it would be interesting to see.

Agreed, it will be interesting, and you will learn alot. If it doesn't work just get the CtT26 next. I like crazy stuff like that.

I know that I'm a little late on this but... Good for you! I encourage pioneering of all different types of motor setups... I can also really appreciate the fact that you have not once said that it will be the fastest car on the road, or anything stupid like that. Of course you are going to get people who are critical or your ideas. The important thing is that you are happy with the way that your car turns out... Remember, that's the best part, It's your car! at the end of the day who cares what anyone else says... If you are proud to drive it, then that's all that matters.
