another franken turbo thread 2h CT26

[o8ko8k]

2h engines have an automatic timer on the front of the injection pump drive gear, so they have advance, I would love to build a boost retard unit though, they do run pretty high compression

good work btw

Great info! thanks! Ya it would be hard to get it to move, even with the bolts loose the pump likes to stay because the injection pipes are solid and don't flex well at all. The six for the motor and two more for the fuel pump.

yeah, i forgot about the 6 injector pipes! lol

One thing that concerns me is your oil drain on the turbo, well, to me it looks like the feed and drain, the drain needs to be facing down or the seals will die and oil will be forced past them....or is that a water feed on the bottom? been a while since i looked at a CT26

Yes this is a good point and worth mentioning. I DID re-clock this turbo since that photo. In this photo, the oil lines are sticking out at about 9 o'clock. Currently, they are at about 5 o'clock (behind the exhaust down pipe). And um, the water lines used as oil lines (in photo) have been replaced with oil/tranny fluid lines (don't use water lines for oil this is bad!) hehe

ahh good stuff! 5 o'clock will be fine

 

[GarethsSixty]

i reckon one of these would be a good investment

How is the engine holding up since the upgrade? How many miles have you done has the upgrade created any issues with the engine?
Thanks

Not to hijack but I have done a ct26 custom on my 2h.its been great since September of last year. At least 3.4k miles on since. No issues.

I ran my engine vent into the intake on my 2lt and it smoked alot. Plus Gerg said it will really gum up the intake and valves. Now i just run the vent into my rusty frame. One way to battle those canadian salty roads. No smoke from exhaust now.

Custom, well home built I mean. Not an off the shelf kit. Otherwise just another ct26

how did this end? I'm in the middle of trying to understand fuel timing and where mine is at and such. Got the overheat at cruise and climb also.
