ct-26 upgrade, 500rwhp?

[SupraMan1784]

a ct-26 can be reliable probably up to about 450-500...i would say...650 is much.. send us a link or somtin and we'll take a look, if you get the turbo rebuilt with custom parts it should be able to handle more boost, but then again it would be a little smarter to run a bigger turbo if you want to make a lot of power, a rebuilt turbo is usually for people that want the car to stay a little more on teh stock side meaning...the car is more streetable kind of like the way it came from teh factory...but then again...the more power you make the less the car is comparable to stock....depending on how much power..or how you want the car to "behave" will determine which path you will take for the turbo situation

Usually they upgrade the turbo by making the compressor wheel larger, but since it's moving more air in, more air is coming out, and the exhaust side restricts it. They usually clip the fins on the exhaust, which frees it up, but adds lag.

Turbo should be the LAST thing you modify, not the first, as it's not even close to the weakest link in the system...

agreed, i say for the motor the breathability should be addressed first, intake, headers, exhaust the bpu of the supra, then u gotta do the head gasket if its not done alrdy, then u get into the heart of the project, valve train, internals, cams, crank shaft, clutch etc...
