My best friend has had this 3sgte MR2 motor in his garage for about 3 years now. I was qurious what kind of turbo it had, I did some research on the CT26 and turns out I found a couple people with it in there KA's. His brother no longer cares about / wants it (drives an s2000 now) so I can have it.
Pics of the CT26 removed (havent removed the 3sgte mani. yet)
I wanted to know if my understanding of what is needed to have this turbo up and running at stock or below stock boost (4-8psi) is correct (for a budget turbo kit):
Using the stock SR side mount + Piping + BOV. 1 / 2 bills?
Obtaining and inlet adapter (converts CT26 to standard t3) $60 SO AWESOME they make it... no need to custom weld a mani.
Turbo Manifold (cheapest I can find) hopfully around 250-300
Custom Up-pipe (I think, might be downpipe... still learning) ??
Then cooling sys. (oil / water already have stock MR2 looking to fabricate onto KA)
What else would I need? Again Im not looking for big boost, just whatever I can get by with, without having to change my fuel pump / injectors / ECU upgrade... unless these ARE needed. I have done some research on boards and google and am planning on hitting Barnes and Nobles for a couple good text mentioned in the forums.
Any help is much appreciated
