I have a stock CT26 that I just had rebuilt by someone that knew what they were doing. New seals, all that good stuff. I only drove it for about 1000 miles after that when the head went. I bought new turbo, new engine build... you get the idea. In any case, I have a stock rebuilt turbo sitting...

Um, is it the plug that goes into your glove box light? There's a little plug I remember down there that plugs into the glove box. That looks like it. Damn if only I'd had pictures. I was just re-wiring my knock sensor wiring, and had my ECU and glove box out.

One thing I noticed, You have two very thick brown insulated wires. Those are your knock sensor wires. You need to replace those with very good insulated wiring. I'll have pictures of the wires I used to do that with. Basically, I used thinner RCA cable, double insulated. It was a crazy...

Well it really doesn't seem to look that bad from the pictures. I've seen worse. If you have some time, I would do this. One at a time, peal the tape off the wires, trim out the bad parts, and solder in a new wire section. It might be your cheapest option. Not the best... but cheapest. I know...

I'll send you a PDF of it as kind of a guidline if you'd like. PM me your email address or something, and you'll get an easier-to-read copy. It will just kind of show you what I did to get that type of HP out of the 7M-GTE. And it's reliable.

Just to give you an idea of what I did for over 400HP, and how much it costs, here's my spec sheet from the engine builder. This is what I had done to my 7M-GTE.

Isn't it usually 1.25? I recall having to use a couple thread chasers.

And maybe this will help ya out. Here's what I did! I asked myself these questions; What will I be using this car for? Every day driver or weekend warrior? Maybe a track car? I wanted my car to be an everyday driver if needed. Ok that means reliability. How fast do I think I want to go? Um, I...

If you're running up to 25lbs of boost, you'll want a compression of about 8.25:1, if you're running 12lbs, you'll want a higher compression or your car will be a dog on the lower RPM range. Going from 12lbs to 25lbs is a very large difference. I'm not saying it can't be done, but engines have...

I have some pictures if the location of that run. It just so happens I took a lot of pictures of my Supra build. So I got that line in a couple pictures. It will help you out possibly.

Looking at a mild stroker kit, 8.6 lift 264dur cams, (Thank you Suprarich) custom pistons and completely ballanced motor, along with a JT-62 Turbo from Jeff (thank you Jeff, it was great talking with you). Also a good intercooler which I found on this site as well. Thank you all for good...

I'm going 1mm on my valves, along with all the other head work. I heard that was a good size, and I'm looking to get around 400 flywheel HP. I am looking for a good Cam, spring and valve combo if anyone has had something work really well for them.

Well I'm ready to buy the turbo, or kit. This is the info I need. I just need to know who to call and talk to to order. Like I said, my motor is in the shop, getting worked on. I want a car for this summer;-) Just need to know who to contact to buy.

Thanks man. That's basically what I heard to.

Yes, you're right Johnathan, I should be able to. But that's pushing the CT-26. Remember, I already have the CT-26 sold when my other turbo comes in. Also, it would cost me quite a lot to rebuild and redo the CT-26, and ballance it. *shrug* I guess I want a new turbo... :naughty: oooo, shiny...

I've heard something about Nitros helping to cut down on turbo lag on bigger turbos. Don't know if that's so true, but if you tune it right, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

My Supra 7M-GTE is in the shop as I type this. I've taken the motor out of the Supra, and am having the motor work done to it. Basically making sure the motor can handle around 600HP, not that I'll use that, but build it high, run it lower, and you have reliability... usually. My question is...

I'll take all the info I can get!! I am new to this. I have mechanical skills, I just have never done something of this scale before. I am a do-it-yourself-er. As a matter of fact, I still have oil under my finger nails from this weekend and pulling the motor. I just want to do this right...

I have an 88 Turbo with a targa top. If I'm really into it, sure I feel my Supra has a bit more flex with the top off, however it's not a big difference. Just thinking outloud here, this could be bushings that are worn out, putting more stress on the frame of the car, making it seem like the...

Awesome, I'll get the Lexus AFM. I've been looking into injectors, what brand do you suggest? I'll start looking into a SAFC2. All this will work great for my build anyway. Thanks for the info Reign_Maker.
