Supra looks great! I always loved the MKIII's!

How often do guys toss these CT26's? I've been thinking of upgrading the CT20 in my 86' Toyota Turbo Pickup.

BrandonW · 03-26-2012, 05:52 PM

thanks!

by toss do you mean just sell them or blow them up? lol

my friend has not sure if its a 86 but 80's toyota pickup i believe the 22re-t engine in it its cool little 4 cylinder small turbo no intercooler

PunkboySL2 · 03-26-2012, 07:54 PM

Good choice on the yellowstuffs. They're a great pad and pretty tough to get them to fade. I only did that once and it was slamming on the brakes at 130+ and they started to fade around 30mph lol. The only disadvantage is that they do produce some corrosive brake dust so just wash your wheels often and you should be good.

BrandonW · 03-26-2012, 08:15 PM

ah i should be fine then, i keep up on washing the car and when i wash the car i take care of the rims also, gotta keep the lip shinning

good to hear about how they perform

I mean upgrade/move on to a better turbo. If that's the case I can probably snag one on the cheap.

BrandonW · 03-26-2012, 10:50 PM

370whp was put down with a 50 trim ct26 at high boost (other supporting mods) so i would say they stick around unless you plan on going 400whp+ there is even a manifold that allows you to use the ct26 (usually upgraded like a 57trim) on a 1jz if your twins are going

you can find them pretty cheap in good shape though

Wow yeah that's a good deal of power.

I'd just like to upgrade the crappy failure prone CT20 to a CT26.

BrandonW · 03-27-2012, 05:58 PM

yea maybe just keep an eye out on supra related forums or even craigslist

you can probably even make use of the ct26 that came on the mr2's it was a little different but still a ct26

Yeah I will. Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.

empera · 03-27-2012, 09:37 PM

i know a person who has a ct26 for sale...i also have one but it will need a rebuild.

BrandonW · 03-29-2012, 10:12 PM

rear brakes! didn't go "aggressive" like i did with the fronts to save money but still work well
bosch pads (seem to work well on the 4runner)
cleaned up and painted calipers
driftmotion ss brake lines
these rotors aren't special just coated hats same brand as the fronts just not slotted
bought new ebrake shoes they are metal to metal LOL but i need a hardware kit that i may need to get from the dealer

itwillboost · 03-30-2012, 12:14 AM

I like the car, I actually remember seeing it at street wars. Clean mk3, hopefully I see it this year too.

BrandonW · 03-31-2012, 10:45 AM

hey thanks, no street wars for me but ill be at the tst spring meet

BrandonW · 05-31-2012, 09:50 PM

philly meet i attended there were more cars but i like this pic

2 things i picked up, at some point i'll be aiming for some more power but coilovers are most likely whats going to be purchased next

and some cool stuff that was found in my house (the paper to the top right has all this japaneese writing with checks over them like some sort of check list) i know the date and miles my car left the lot with
quality isnt great because its a cell phone pic

BrandonW · 06-09-2012, 09:39 PM

20% tint all the way around except the windshield

empera · 06-11-2012, 12:41 PM
