Hi guys, justwondering if anyone can give me details on which ct26's would bolt up to my 12h-t. My turbo is stuffed and i've been told it may cost up to $2k to be rebuilt.I've seen them cheap on ebay but theyre all for mr2's and supras. Also does anyone know a decent turbo rebuilder either in brisbane or up and down the coast, or someone who can provide a rebuild kit. CHeers guys.

Are you handy with a spanner? and can remove yours and refit it?

Do you know exactly what is wrong with yours?

The CT26 has good size bearings and is a very hardy turbo. If looked after, a rebuild kit and a balance might be all you need.

I have a good one here that has been disassembled, checked and all good. By checked it means that it is currently on my engine - perfect test. I rebuilt it because my car was burning oil, since replacing it I found the engine needs a rebuild. So, big power rebuild is happening now.

$600 exchange ie: you post me your old one

Whatever you do, dont pay $2K

I can modify for 25% more flow for only $250 with no discernable loss in bottom end torque. There are other options for even more flow.

I am in Perth and don't normally do this, but my turbo collection is growing.

Is your manual or auto - the exhaust housings are different, but all else is the same.

Unless you know what your doing, i wouldnt play with it yourself...they are not rocket science, but if you do something wrong, boom, motor aswell.
Garrett sell CHRA's for 1200, Toyota sellnew turbos for 2k, if you cant get yours rebuilt for 600 (kit is $200) 400 labour and balance, then your not looking around.
