Soooooooo, I have had to send my 26 out to be rebuilt and in the process have found that the turbine wheels need to be changed. The shop that has the turbo says that they can't get the JDM ceramic wheels so they will have to use steel ones.
1) how will this affect my spool time/ Lag? (new to forced induction, understand the basics but am still a little fuzzy on the intricacies) 2) anyone know where to get the ceramic wheels? 3) any one have a JDM importers # or a 26 or 20b they can spare? Thanks for your input and assistance all. |

QUOTE (Darkchylde @ May 3, 2011 - 8:43 AM)  Okay from what I can tell Delusionz, you ARE definitely a fan of the ct 20b. My question for you is do you sperm from personal experience or just a statistical stand point? If anyone out there has a ct 27 please chime in I would like to have a first hand account of spool time, max output an general upkeep? Other threads that I have come across have had many a person complaining about shattering wheels constantly.( if I am correct you are one of the people who said they dislike the constant replacement of the ct's Delusionz. If I am wrong please correct, no sarcasm just recalling.) Calling Ats in a little while to get specs and make a decision, so lemme know! A ct27 or a ct20b can get you 300hp or more. A ct26 rebuild, trim upgrade, etc... will not make more than 240-250hp Don't waste your money on a ct26 rebuild!!!! Either buy a ct20b or upgrade it to a ct27. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
