can someone with some forced induction knowledge help me out i am thinkin of getting a ct20 turbo for my 92 prelude

ive never done a turbo setup so i was just wonderin if i can get some schooling on what direction i need to go partswise or in general

i have stock internals so i know i wont be boostin it a whole lot just yet. will a toyota turbo even work in a honda? what kind of damage am i lookin at for the pipes and the intercooler and stuff?

well anything helps cuz obviously im still learnin stuff. thanks!

 

We used that turbo on my friend's H22 Prelude. Not to say it was a bad turbo, but it lasted a week. He ended up doing it right the 2nd time and bought a GT30.
There is a lot of info on budget turbos if you search around a bit.

 

Turbo off of an old *** Toyota, quick spool, not much to say about it except most of them are either blown or about to be blown unless it's been rebuilt recently. Why a CT20? If you're going for cheap POS Toyota turbos, why not a CT26? They're bigger, more readily available, and should cost you the same price.

 

cuz a guy has a ct20 and wantin to get rid of it pretty cheap. how much would u say the turbo itself is worth? hes askin 75 for it. and then im guessing around 500 give or take for rest of the setup?

 

I'm not sure I'd take it even if it was free. Do you really want to put a turbo on your car that came off of a 1985 Toyota truck that most likely has a million miles on it?

 

right

 

well now that you put it that way lol.. thanks for the input
