I am currently at a crossroad my stock turbo is getting very sloppy and do not know what to do I had an aftermarket ex. man. given to me and have been told the ford diesel or the cummings turbos will fit so no problem on availability.Is this true.Should I go with something different is this a bolt on with not much bs involved will it still bolt up to my 3"hks dp my engine is getting to be a bit modified am shooting for 350hp so any and all suggestions will be helpful Thanks BRH

if you want to use your DP then you will need to get your turbo rebuilt/trimmed or use an aftermarket direct fit like the SP61 or similar. a trimmed/aftermarket turbo should be good for a lot more power and still use all the parts you currently have.

Agreed. Getting your stock turbo upgraded will easily allow you to make 350rwhp. A 60-1 upgrade on the stock turbo can net in the area of 400rwhp or more. Look into sending it to a shop to get the upgrade done. It'll probably run you in between $750-$1000

The Diesel turbos are massive and are designed for diesel engines that have displacements in the area of 6.0L-7.3L. You probably don't want one of those on your car even if you could fit them.

That's my 2 cents anyhow.

some of the smaller diesel turbos have been used on cars, for example, sport compact car did a write-up on a nissan 240sx running a holset hx35 (iirc) but they definitely dont seem like the best solution.

an SP61 seems to be a very viable option.

I would contact sound performance directly for their SP61. That way you can talk to a trained professional about your needs and make sure it's right for you. Their website is www.soundperformance.com (http://www.soundperformance.com)

The upgraded CT-26 can be performed by Performance Techniques (formerly turbonetics?...) at http://64.225.76.178/main.htm . You will find it on their page. I believe it goes for about $750 to upgrade the turbo and they require a core exchange or else you pay more. This is the route I would lean towards because it is a little less of a jump than the SP61 but, again, it'll depend on your needs. You can talk to a professional their about what would be best for you as well.

Cheers,

Tim

EDIT: I found the real turbonetics at www.turboneticsinc.com, but I don't know if they do the upgrade.

I think I'm obligated to ask, what are your other modifications done? I want to know if you have th supporting mods done to get one of these turbos.

Let us know.

Cheers,

The only thing I see missing is an upgraded fuel pump, otherwise it looks like you're good for either.
