sticky blow off valve on 22re-t

[krookedpandas]

First off, I don't know jack about turbo system. What I was told was that the blow off valve was sticking and that I needed a new turbo. Something about my mind can't get around this. So do I really need a new turbo or is there a way to fix the blow off valve without swapping in a new turbo?

oh lord....where to start....


1: there is no blow off valve, it is a "internal waste gate" turbo.

2: it's a VERY common problem with those old P.O...not the best turbos.

3: You should be able to see the arm that actuates the gate, reach in and try to move it, it MIGHT free up...doubt it will, but hey, go for it.

4: You might have to remove it to free up the valve.

5: Garrett makes a great turbo.... those old CT's are not

6: along with getting to know your turbo better, make sure the vac line and diaphragm that actuates it, are in good working order (step #3 should tell you)

Sweet thanks I'll check it out. I was told if I did need a new turbo Garrett was the way to go. I was also told the reason why these are rare finds is because its rare to find one that is currently running.

Then you'd have to do this:

From this thread: Turbo 4runner




yeah, it is true you can do that, but it's my nature to tell you the most economical way to do something. I just H8 seeing people spend money

I'll try to find the RTE forum, it's got a great How-to in it about using a CT-26

ahhh, looky here...

22RTE - EFI and Tuning


more specifically here

CT26 Installation


Also, with a relatively low c/r even for a turbo. You should be able to mix and match the 22RE pistons OR (not and) an RE head. And so you know, a RE block does not have the turbo oiling provisions drilled and tapped like the RTE already does. (not a real a biggy)

The stock Turdblow only puts out 7psi, the CT-26 does to, but it has more volume so it would lend it's self to an intercooler and turbo mods better....

Just so you know, anytime you add power you lose some engine longevity. But there are lots of improvements that can be made on that engine that are not over the top.

I was also told the reason why these are rare finds is because its rare to find one that is currently running.

lol, das is true


I might have left some thing out...whoops, like a guy on EBay that sells rebuilt T-3's and CUSTOM ex. mannis for $400...

I haven't seen him in a while but I bet you can still find him. He might have his own site by now.
