ive came to the conclusion my 87 22rte needs a turbo or the turbo needs to be rebuilt. anyone know if theres a rebuild kit i could buy?

 

try LC engineering, they could probably point you in the right direction. I'm sure there are a ton of turbos that you could put in there but I wouldn't know the first thing.

 

The stock ct 20's are junk. The exhaust side housing always cracks around the wastegate for starters. Swap in either a ct 26 out of a late 80's or early 90's supra or go to a t3/4 setup. I'm running a ct 26 and love it

 

Yeah, ive herd alot of people upgrade/replace it with a garret t3/4 hybrid?

 

thanks for the help guys im in the process of pullin it apart now.

 

I'm not sure if they run hybrids or one or the other. I hear alot of guys grab used ones right off the ford thunderbirds and run them. I went with a ct 26 because It's what I had sitting around. Price and custom creativity is what its all about for me. LC is way over priced as well as 99% of the turbo "kits" out there. here's a link to a 22rte specific forum http://www.22rte-trucks.com/simplema...orum/index.php

 

Oh, and look for cracks in the exhaust manifold. They're prone to cracking as well, and let us know what u find.
