ct26 and tubular manifold?

[bis_1315m]

I'm wondering can you run a ct26 on a tubular manifold and if so what would be required to do so.

Thanks
Michael

Not unless the tubular mani has the mounting pattern for the CT26.

With that said, WHY? Gain nothing except a lighter wallet?

Agreed. At that point you might as well slap a T4 on the tubular. Not to mention I haven't seen many designed to be ran with an internal wastegate.

And it looks cooler

didn't hks make one for the ct26? (maybe it was for that hks turbo that had the same bolt pattern as the ct26)

but for the hk$ price and the slight gain you got it wasn't even worth it

If you do that you'll have to redo your oil/coolant lines also! :stickpoke Like figgie said "Why?"

Would need to make a new downpipe, new lines, ect...

The stock manifold isn't the restriction so it's not going to make more power...

I was asking because I was thinking about putting it on a different car.

Thanks for the feed back

you could make or have someone make a t4 to ct adapter.

Do a T4 on the tubular manifold. The tubular manifold does make the 7M sound really nice.

I'm currently running a CT26 on a tubular T4 manifold with an adapter. Spool time is much quicker.

I'd like to see real data of that claim as science says bullshit on that!

 

[Poodles]

Naw, it might spool a little quicker in theory, but a good BPU 7M will spool around 2500RPM as is so it's pointless and a waste of cash.

I know of only one person that did it....and he's from Florida as well...

Shoot me, but I've considered it.

My reasoning,
I have an SSAC manifold
I have a 57 Trim CT
I have a Defcon DP that I tore the flex section off of, can easily be modified to work
I have a set of SupraSport CT oil lines
Coolant lines are easy

All it requires is a T4->CT adapter, which is easy.

But, I don't really have the time to do all that for no real gain, other than sound, perhaps.

You guys forgot the most important reason, SOUND...tubular manifolds sound way better than our stock log style mani.

With that said, just use a different turbo if you are going with the tubular manifold.

A ct can really spool faster than it alreally does wow. my 57trim spools in like a sec.
