7M-Brisbane Forums Junkie Location: Brisbane Registered: November 2002	Re: Turbo manifold design Sat, 08 May 2004 04:19 Hi guys, Thank you for your suggestions. The reason I am not using the twin-single manifold I already had (and have since sold) is that, due to the placement of my steering, I am unable to run an exhaust. At all While I am making a custom manifold, I am still operating on a budget. I'm sick of fucking around and am just after something simple that will provide a bit of a laugh. I already own the CT26, so this is the turbo that I will be using for now. Additionally, I've had nothing but problems with cars in the past, so I just want something modest. I could get 600hp out of a 1JZ without so much as a problem, but it is neither a practical nor financially sound idea. Think of it this way: * My Supra ran consistent high 13's * It was running a CT26 * It was bolted to a tractor engine * The Supra was 1600kg Now: * I want the Mark II to run consistent high 13's * It will be running the same turbocharger * It will be bolted to a modern engine * The Mark II is over 200kg lighter Applying a bit of common sense suggests that I will most likely achieve my aims - possibly even before the turbo is hiflowed or I need to upgrade the injectors. The only other thing I would consider is, instead of using a CT26, to purchase a 450hp Garrett GT28 (internally gated). Again, this would not use a 1JZ to it's full capabilities, but response should be awesome along with 400-450hp at top end. These are about $2300 - if I sold the CT26 for $300 and put aside the $950ish for the hiflow, it would really only be an extra $1,000 for this upgrade (given that I'm already getting the custom manifold, exhaust, etc). Again, budget comes into play.. is this $1,000 worth spending? Leigh [Updated on: Sat, 08 May 2004 04:21] [Report message to a moderator]
