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. |

This what ATS do? Clip the USDM steel exhaust wheel? But mine had ceramic so can't be clipped, but still less restrictive than the steel anyways
So either way you look at it, What I had with the T04E-46 is pretty standard procedure, and with the JDM ceramic turbine being comparable to a clipped steel wheel (technically will mean mine has less lag at the cost of 5hp??) It seems my CT26 upgrade turbo isnt far off the ATS 27 after all. This being the case I can say better off with the CT20b??? 1500rpm earlier spool, 4wheel tyre smoking punch in the mid range, just as good up top? -------------------- Mike W

Just because america is slow at everything we do lol. But ats has a couple of tech's... nobody quote me on this lol but I think there from japan....... so they might have some inside info on things....... but if u ever come over here I would say ats would be the best place to take your 3sgte.. .... or to dr tweak I really know of anybody else that is as gud with these engines then them over here...... its all they do everyday So either way you look at it, What I had with the T04E-46 is pretty standard procedure, and with the JDM ceramic turbine being comparable to a clipped steel wheel (technically will mean mine has less lag at the cost of 5hp??)
