PWG123 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Hello basically my turbo has shat it's self loads of shaft play and oil seals have gone. I need to get a new one before next Tuesday as I've got to get to work. I know it's a CT12 A.But I want to find a direct replacement or run a different turbo as long as it marries up to the rest of the car, helps greatly appreciated. As I want to get it done asap.Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) any ct9 A or B Or hybrid will fit up the same, the chances of finding another ct12 at such short notice is very slim IMO or send it to liam D at midland turbos to rebuild it should be cheaper than buying new http://www.ukstarletowners.com/user/1232-liam-d/ Edited April 15, 2014 by russ78 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PWG123 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 Yeah I thought it would be, worth a try tho. I'm waiting to here back from some people tomorrow. I was thinking that, tbh. Just im in trouble without my car for getting to work :/.Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JDMfreak Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 ct9 will bolt up to what you have relatively handy to come across I think the set up you have are kind of a homade thing the ct12 compressor is from a supra iirc and the ct9 exhaust side is the standard setup made to bolt together Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 that ct12 looks like its from a ep71 turbo s no wonder shat itself its an antique lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PWG123 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 liams service is super fast and spot on if sent tomorrow could be back in time send him a message via link provided Oh really I'll hit him up then, thanks ct9 will bolt up to what you have relatively handy to come across I think the set up you have are kind of a homade thing the ct12 compressor is from a supra iirc and the ct9 exhaust side is the standard setup made to bolt together yeah that's what I thought it was, its got the CT9 Exhaust side, and CT12 Compressor. That's why I was confused. So in theory at CT20 or CT26 would bolt up.Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PWG123 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 that ct12 looks like its from a ep71 turbo s no wonder shat itself its an antique lol tbf it's done well if that's the case lol only took it off to change seal and then realised it was like a soup bowl, still spools ok tho.

PWG123 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 I had a ct12 hybrid for a while there getting rare tbh, well worth having it rebuilt imo it's a hybrid? How can you tell? (still learning about turbo's).It does spool too full spool pretty damn quick. And have always wondered if it was.I'm going to message liam D and see what he says.

Liam_D Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 It's defiantly a ep71 turbo s turbo buddy looked into it today for you. CT12/CT26 would be far to big and wouldn't fit. Doubt you would even spin up a Ct26 they are huge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
