Duane (upgradedsupra) has, but had problems and his #'s arent worth posting.. the turbo itself is very capable of 400+RWHP.

if you want more than 400, its probably best to go with another turbo.. however the 20G will spool a hell of alot faster than most others.

all in all id say its a great turbo, its very well balanced for our cars

 

For that power range I would just go for a CT26 with an upgraded wheel. Like a 60-1 or a 62-1 wheel. Although I think the 20G would maybe spool up quicker (not too noticeable), the upgraded CT will give around the same power and be alot cheaper of a project.

Just my .02 cents

 

60-1 62-1 trim are very unreliable turbos, dont expect a CT26 to last very long with that trim

 

You are basing that on the point that the impeller wheel would be much bigger than the turbine wheel and would be out of balance? You are probably right most of the time on a case to case basis, but for the money you really can't beat the bang for the buck.
It all depends on what shops you take it to, to do the balancing and assembley. If you take it to a shop and they do a top notch job, you shouldn't have too much of a problem for a while.

 

Living in asscrack,Va we have one dyno around close, within 40 miles. It is a Detroit diesel dealership and there dyno is broken more than it works and there are no print outs available, I guess I shouldn't bitch for 60.00 for two runs. One of those was at 12 psi and one was at 16 psi, and I was happy, but as Dr.Jones put it "If you don't have the papers, it isn't worth nothin." I agree 100% with Parad0x they are a great turbo for ours cars, very capable of low to mid 400hp to the ground at 20 to 21 psi.

 

Yes.. BUT:

- around what RPM are you seeing boost, and what RPM are you seeing full boost ???

.. it does sound like a nice upgrade though

 

60-1 62-1 trim are very unreliable turbos, dont expect a CT26 to last very long with that trim

Agreed, I had that upgrade and was good for about 10 kms for me and sold it after getting this new turbo. It was toast after another 4000 k on another car.

19 PSI at the track for a year and it is pretty much worn

MY .02

My numbers on the 20G should be pretty good. I have had fuel issues, then TecII issues, then Tranny now I have the idle motor not closing under boost blah blah blah GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Etcccccc..................

Once this is all fixed I am positve that it will hit the 400PLUS mark

Duane

 

the 20 g great turbo for the street will last you alot longer then modded ct at 60 plus trim you get kill it if you boost alot bend shafts ect

57 trim is the best for the ct 26 for all around fun and power as well longer life


the only bad thing abotu the 20g is the adaptor tat si comes whiht cuppsot be crappy and shit or you can do liek what paradox did and get custum eblo made

main reson he never got his whihtt he kits how gay is that


i most likly will go 57 maybe bit lower but that is all up in the air right now i got ot get new cltuch and fix the hart burn in my bell houseing frist

 

The quick spool up is their big selling point, I would be intereted in maybe doing a TD07-25G, I think that would be a very nice piece of machinery to put on a 1JZ. I haven't really heard anything about them though, I'm Thailand and have seen them on a few cars, but the numbers are alot lower than I would expect, I don't really know Mitsubishi turbos, but on turbos I am familar with the output is much much lower than would expect from the setups. I have like 3 Thai car mags on my desk and none of the cars are above like 600 horse, which I know is alot, but we're talking built 2JZ-GTEs with HKS 272 cams, stand alone computers, T88-34Ds. From everything I've ever read, that setup should be good for like 1000h horsepower! Maybe its just the quality of available tuning, but still... Anyway they do love the 25Gs overhere, I've seen them on Silvias, WRXs, MR2s and much more, seems like a pretty versitile turbo..

The elbow on the GReddy kit is also not used in my kit. I sold it and had one custom made as well.

Much better flow

just wondering if anyone has ever used a KKK turbo off a mid-late 1980's Porsche 911 turbo?

 

Well the reason why i want this over the say SSport ct26, Is i want the turbo to be reliable, ive heard a few horror stories with ct26 upgrade. I want to run large smoothish boost...meaning i dont want 25psi to come in at 5500rpm ...around 3500rpm is good for me.

Ill pay the extra for that and the fact that is bascially a bolt on.

Still seems the turbo is good but no one has taken it far yet and had proof.


Trzzaaa

 

Also anyone know what max boost this turbo kit can handle? I havent been able to find this info.

 

Reg Riemer told me that he would put the ceiling on effectiveness at 20 to 21 psi. He is who I bought mine from.

 

Oh and it is pulling hard at 3000 rpm to the redline.

 

how much are these kits???
Because I just bought a profromance techniques 60-1 shit!!!

 

So they spool up around 3000 ... thats not to bad !

 

I believe I paid either 1800.00 or 1900.00 shipped. I think Parad0x said his was 1500.00,but he got screwed outof an elbow.

 

trza2k, seems like you stated my SS Sport Turbo is an upgrade, that's not correct. It's a brand new unit. Garret core. HKS Replica Backside, 60-1 T4 Frontside. This is the easiest new-turbo bolt-on.

 

Jeff did u guys ever get that internal wastegate/boost creep issue figured out on the SS turbos? I'm thinking about getting one....

Anyhow I have the 60-1 upgraded ct-26. I race the living shit out of my car, more than most u guys i'm sure of it. In the summer I'm either street racing or at the tracks. I also drive 500 miles a week commuting back and forth from home/college. And I've topped out my car, which is a real stressor on the turbo since it has to pump high boost for a sustained period of time. My turbo has been as reliable as anything Toyota would have made. It has 11,000 miles on it so far.

I'd love to race a 20G MKIII. Hope you guys won't be too disappointed with the results

thats all relative to how cold you're keeping it. id say 25psi is the max for the 20G. ive been running 20psi pretty much everyday for months and the turbo feels like it could definetaly put out more

I have run 25psi once the fuel issue was fixed but now back to that agin.



Grrrrr

I have a family reunion in Stevens Point next summer, I might have to look you up.

wow that's only 30 min south of my hometown

let me know

i'll probably be running a bigger turbo by then though.... let me know . I also have a bud that lives in point, his MKIII ran 13.3 @ 111mph also with upgraded ct-26

I'd LOVE to run u. all in good supraholic fashion so we'll know what's more high performance: upgraded ct-26 or 20G

 

My family has a place on Sunset Lake in Waupaca, I believe is the spelling. God willing and some fine tuning I'll be over my goal and get to the reunion.
