Would this turbo work?

[BambinoGS]

I am planning on buying a turbo from a '91 Toyota Supra (car got totalled) and I was wondering if it would work with a b18a1 engine. Would it be to small or to big for my car? I tried searching and I couldnt find a consistant size (.57 trim). would it spool quickly or to slowly for my engine?

A ct26 is an ok turbo, only thing is I think the exhaust inlet is diffrent then what what we use so you might have to get somekind plate made to allow it to bolt on to a turbo manifold. JUst check out everything I think they run ceramic bearings or something and can fail pretty easy. I dont remember tho

they stop making power at 5500 rpms on our motors. So you would have to get a adapter plate made (as stated before) for the manifold and swap out turbines.

Your better off getting a t3/t4

Get a turbo from a 300zx

i thought the 300zx were twin turbo

Edit: Forgot about the older models, my blunder.

I wouldn't bother with a turbo from a 300ZX. The Z32 ran a pair Garrett T22/TB02, which are quite small and would run off near choke line of the compressor map. Older 300ZX used a T25, which is also tiny and isn't worth messing with.

As for DSM turbos, the 95-99's also ran a T25 which is worth avoiding. The 90-94 Turbo DSM's ran a MHI 14B though, which does have some capability if you are on a tight budget and want mild power.

The CT26 is a better option than a T22 or T25, but the 14B would be the most ideal budget option of old junkyard turbos. It has much more potential than any T25 and such.

Okay thanks guys! It looks like I'll take it and resell it then get a t3/t4 turbo
