CT26A, Question Options

[alltracman78]

That I don't know for sure.
Going by what I know of Toyotas, I would guess yes, they are steel.
Toyota seems to not worry quite so much about longevity for thier market [JDM], hence the ceramic turbines [aren't as strong] and more aggressive ECUs [more stress on the engine]; but does seem to put much more emphasis on longevity in other markets.

so this turbo is a jdm ct26c2?

Its a normal ct26 from a jdm st185. Its not a ct20b or ct26c2 (where did this name come from?).

The ct26c2 is the correct name for the st205 turbo which has become known incorrectly as a ct20b.

Where did you hear that term from? Ive never once seen it in any of toyotas documents.
Btw, can we just keep calling it the ct20b? Everyone knows what that is, and it creates less confusion.

What is that document from? looks like an excel sheet someone made.
And mitsu made a few of the ct26? First time I've heard of that.

I dont know where it came from to be honest, but the initial information came from one of the most knowledgable blokes on the GT4 Owners club so I have no doubt that it is 100% correct...but believe it or not its entirely up to everyone who reads this I guess..I dont expect that I`ll change the way people think or what people call the ct26b /ct26c2.....take it or leave it, its entirely up to you

So, in essence its another made up name like the ct20b.
I've yet to see any TOYOTA documents that have a name for that turbo.

Also, the naming scheme that company posted is kind of odd. They have the st185 listed as c3 and the st205 listed as c2? Its strange because you would think the part numbers would be sequential with the st185 being c2 and the 205 being c3.

But its interesting to know that holset and garret made a few turbo's for toyota.
KKK did do, but man...They really need to change their company name. lol

Hmmm never noticed that...aaah well...just stick with the good old ct20b then.

No the information was interesting if nothing else. Thanks for sharing that - some of want to know as much as we can about the equipment we work with.

On a sidenote: I just saw the biggest fcuking turbo I've ever seen in my life in cutaway in a business meeting. It had some really cool anti-lag technology built right into the housings but all in all vary much like an automotive Turbocharger. I wish I had at least had a cellphone with camera with me. I go back to this place fairly regularly so I'll try to get pics so I can show you guys.
But seriously - this turbo was a s big as our whole engine bays and as tall as our roofs - Imagine the kenetic/thermal energy required just to spin the thing
