Matt Heard Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Afternoon lads,Does anyone have any knowledge of ct16's? I have been given one for free and it's in very good shape. Thinking it may be an upgrade on my ct9 just looking for some advice really.All I can guess is that I'll have to use the exhaust side of the ct9 as the flanges are different.The turbo was originally from a Toyota Hiace 2.5 D4D and has a part number which is 17201-30030.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks,Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 dont think swaping the housing will work the proppeler on the ct9 is smaller for sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Heard Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 I tried swapping the housing but the ct16 propeller is actually smaller and there is a gap all the way round. As well the lips where both sides of the turbo clamp together are completely different. Strange yet the inlet or where the air filter goes is slightly larger than the ct9.I'm interested in knowing what figures the ct16 can make.. See if it's worthwhile having a manifold and downpipe made to suit the current exhaust housing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 lots of work for very smal gains best to go ct20 then !!!! or td/vf just my opinion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richardc9052 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 You could use the turbine wheel as well as the exhaust housing. That way they should match up apart from you said the lips don't match but I'm sure you could get it machined? If your really wanting to try it that is Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If your really wanting to try it that isYou couldn't do that as the bearings wouldn't fit and you'd need custom made journal bearings, and the turbine wheel wouldn't fit inside the compressor wheel.

ste91 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Without even looking at the specs of this turbo, knowing that it's off a 2.5 diesel it's almost certainly smaller than the usual tried and tested TD04, and wont really be ideal for a petrol engine, the turbine housing will have a relatively small A/R and the compressor wheel will be designed for high boost but less flow compared to one that would be designed for a petrol engine, as diesels tend to be designed for use over a narrow rpm range.

Matt Heard Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 As said, after weighing up the odds I'd rather go for something that's been tested and puts down good figures! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
