since I just finished it and posted it a couple places it's kinda busy and they don't like that over at geocities so you might have to wait a little to check it out sorry.

Looks good man. that is an interesting design for the manifold.

RedSuns · 09-09-2002, 03:05 PM

what is UP with that intercooler......is it part of a kit or some hybrid SAAb freak-o-nature intercooler........the car does look very nice though.....

misnomer · 09-09-2002, 04:29 PM

Very nice. Do you get a lot of lag with the long exhaust manifold?

KiDyNomiTe · 09-09-2002, 04:49 PM

Site no work

What did the whole setup cost you?
I was thinking of going with a CT26 as well........

But hey VERY nice work.....
How do you like the boost? Very Noticable at 7psi?

240racer · 09-10-2002, 12:37 PM

sorry about the stupid site going down.  Geocities only allows like 6 views per hour or something like that.  So try again if you care.

I bought a used ct-26 for $120 from some guy on the supra forums
The intercooler is two 1g DSM sidemounts welded together.  My friend has 3 welded together on his supra, that's huge!!!
The lag isn't bad, considering the turbo is fairly big.  If I am going fast I never have to worry about the lag, only when I try to hit the gas in 5th going 60 is it slow.  but a downshift to 3rd and WOT the boost is there before I can say "where's the boost"
7psi is very noticeable, it's real nice.  I hope to run at the track or dyno soon, then I'll know what it's really doing.
Overall, I spent about $1200 on the turbo kit, all the little stuff adds up.  The intercooler cost me about $50 and the manifold was $120  I also have an S-AFC that was $250 plus hose, connectors, injectors, exhaust, etc.

Did your friend weld your manifold for you too?

240racer · 09-10-2002, 01:00 PM

no, I welded the manifold and all the exhaust/intercooler tubing.  It took a while.  I had access to a TIG welder at work so I was able to use that.  I wirefed the downpipe and exhaust.
