what is this turbo like?
Hi all,
I recently scored this turbo from a mate. It's a Toyota CT26 from a 2.2 celica i believe.
This thing seems to have a fair bit of bearing play and I'd rebuild it anyway if I was seriously planning to use it...
Hence my questions...has anyone used one? On any engine? How well would it be matched to my engine?
It's a 1776 efi low compression with eagle turbo cam, stock heads, 450cc injectors controlled by megasquirt II.
I'm after some opinions please...

throw it in the bin.
if it is what i think it is.bin for you,
there are two styles of ct 26,one has a ceramic rear wheel and the other has a steel,if you are getting it rebuilt,it will be ok just ask for a steel
replacement if it doesn't already have one.
down sharon.

As Brad says.... If the wheel is ceramic stay away.... But if the wheel is steel, then it might be ok for a rebuild.... But if your gonna cost up a
rebuild you might find you will be better off looking at a 'Garrett' (Cheaper rebuild costs)... T25's and 28's are plentiful as are T3's... Just
be sure you do your homework on spec.... I have a steel wheeled BB GT28R on my 1776 draw-through.... We shall see how that goes....

I thought the CT26 was fitted to the 7MGTE which is a 3 litre 6 cylinder, but have also read somewhere that they were on the MR2. I think a rebuild of
one of these will be 5-600 dollars.

Thanks for the feedback!
I think it might be better to go for a Garrett as well for the reasons above.
Is the ceramic wheel a bad thing because it can't handle being spooled up too fast or something?
I would have guessed that it would spool quicker and dissipate heat better, but i don't know much about turbos yet.
