My guess around 3k you will be at 5 psi. I spool around 5-7 psi at 2600 rpm on a single 60 trim Ct26. These turbos spool pretty darn quick.

I was thinking it would be higher then 3k just because 3cyl spooling each. Guess we will find out shortly just saving some change to get
manifold ceramic coated.

Well after many years out of the supra Game. I am back going to pickup a new to me 1987 Turbo 5speed Hardtop.
Don't worry I still have my built engine and still going to go for the twin ct26 setup. Plan is to get the twins all mocked up and running driving for spring of 2026. Pics are coming soon

May I ask where you picked that car up? I came across one for sale in Wyoming about 6 or 7 years back I think. Had brown interior and looked fantastic. Not a very common color combo from what I've seen...

Hey Tireburner-

Glad to see that you're still in the game. You build is about on the same exact timeline as mine; I started in 2011, and finally down to the last few months of completion. As for your CT26 build- I think it's a great idea. Seeing as how a 57 trim CT can produce 400-ish HP, I don't see why a twin setup wouldn't make close to your power goals. If your goal is down-low torque and quick spool, you should be all set. Since CT's tend to run out of steam around 5,000rpm, then maybe consider having the turbine wheels trimmed a bit for higher rpm?
