CT26 mrII turbo in a 4th gen?

tallkid2201 · 09-09-2009, 11:29 AM

ok so i was just given an mrII CT26 turbo. i have a 4th gen maxima and were trying to figure out how we could get it in. so far the obvious, intercooler, piping, lines, and a custom exhaust manifold. i was wondering if the compression on the vq would be ok with it. i also read somehwere that someone used one of these on a 3rd gen VG and didnt need to get new injectors or modify the fuel system at all?

any input would be much appreciated.

the basic facts are these, a CT26 is pretty small for a 3.0. Finding a turbo is simply put one of the easiest parts of piecing together a turbo kit. don't shortchange yourself with a crap/ill sized turbo just because you found it easily/cheaply. get a more properly sized turbo. getting ahold of the turbo is about 1% of the process, there is no need to base your entire build around something that isn't proper for your application, just because you got it for free.

hmmm good point. but were going to be bending the piping and welding the exhaust/flanges ourselves. that and im only planning on boosting 5-7 psi(for now) until i get more money for better equipment.

Your going to hate yourself when you have this project finished, and you have a little bit of power at low and bearly mid rage rpm, then at high rpm its fall on its face. invest on a better sized turbo, youd be surpriced how cheap you can find turbos. Look into Holset turbos

its crazy because a good CT26 from a 7mgte which is also a 3.0 was given to me and i was planning on turboing my max with it, i read up on the turbo sightly figuring out that it maxes out at 14psi and should be just enough to reach my goal at 350whp
