Hi

Do you guys think that turbo this could work on a Landcruiser 80 1HD-T as a upgraded turbo, and is it a bolt on affair :?

Youll need more specs before you can say if its any good or not. But it does say it a replacement/upgrade from stock turbo so... It should bolt straight on

it will bolt up to the exhaust manifold and dump pipe.
Hard to tell from the pictures, but I cant see provision for water cooling?
Also not sure on the orientation of the oil feed/drain holes.

Definiitely not a simple bolt in replacement IMO it will need some custom parts

It is not a Toyota Turbo (not sure if you knew)

It looks like a chinese reproduction (I guess you take your chances on quality)


Also Supra turbo's have a lot larger exhaust turbine housing, so it will spool up and boost a bit late in the rev range for a 80series, you would lose a lot of low RPM torque and driveability.

The orientation of the front compressor housing is different from Supra to Landcruiser so it would need to be rotated, also the wastegate actuator may need to be modified.

in the pic of the exhaust housing the blades look to be of good quality :roll:
back edge of the blades look rough as :shock:

Garrett GT2860RS seems to get some good reviews on here.....

Ball bearing so spins up a lot faster.....

If you want to "up grade" your standard CT 26, look at rebuilding it and using an supra 7MGTE compressor wheel and housing......
