Crazy Idea Number 28394792

[Squizz]

I am far to bored and upset with my car for sensible discussion so I'll put htis idea foward instead...

There has been many a discussion on Trust turbos being a glorified (or in some cases not even glorified) truck turbos.

So, can you take 1 x Canter turbo and add 1 x RB26DETT and make decent power?

That is the question I put to you all...

[Sydneykid]

Yep, a Canter turbo (as made by Mitsubishi) is basically the same as a Trust (as made by Mitsubishi) T88. :jk:

[Squizz]

So could you get a truck turbo and get a smaller exh. housing???

[funkymonkey]

1 x Canter turbo + 1 x RB26DETT = jus about what Ben from racepace has on his GTR that currectly holds the marque car record or somthing for Phillip island

Are you serious? How big are these small truck turbos???

What's an old school TO4E like?

This discussion is far from stupid....I seriously wanted something like a TO4E for my car...a guy that put one on his RB25DE had almost none of the low rpm pinging that I suffered...and had fairly decent spooling on the 10:1 compression.

I say put the canter turbo on, you of all people shouldn't be scared of strying something out...oh GT+T master

I don't actually have a Canter turbo, just that finding a cheap (read: free) small diesel truck turbo is easy as pie. Manifold and wastegate would be the expensive bit...

[666DAN]

B'oh yeah forgot about the bloody wastegate and manifold....yeah that can be the most expensive part.....good idea nonetheless.

[Squizz]

Go "log-style" for the manifold and a second hand gate. I can feel another project tight-ass coming on!

[666DAN]

Can the factory log be modded to take another flange? Can't see why not...anyone tried?

[Squizz]

Certainly can, I've seen some with a normal flange, a spacer (used to attach the gate) and then the different flange.

No good for a GTR though as we have two separate manifolds and the flanges face different ways to the 20/25 manifolds.

[666DAN]

Hmmmm I'm starting to get the modding bug again.........no can't do it...must save for GTR lump......must resist spending money for no reason

[Squizz]

You know you want to...

[666DAN]

You're damn right...I want to TO4 the crap out of it!!!!

Also with your way of thinking, even if the old truck turbo doesn't last as long...it's cheap to replace!

[Squizz]

Can't get much cheaper than free...

Hi Guys, be carefull, diesel turbos are not designed for the much higher exhaust gas temperature of a petrol engine. I have seen one die in under 5 minutes, the seals melted and it filled the dyno room with smoke (not from the tyres). :dump:
