So when you swapping the ct26? Only remaining kink in the armour.

So when you swapping the ct26? Only remaining kink in the armour.

Yeah not sure what direction i'm going to take on that one. Either a rebuilt steel turbine ct20b (To match a Berk Gen3 DP I have here) or extend myself to a 3071 kit (possibly the internal wastegate version ATS racing sells)
I have also been toying with the idea of fitting a 2grfe as the majority of the work has already been done for that conversion. (body engine mounts, E153 box and shifter cables, fuel pump, 3in exhaust) A new engine mount design enables the belt routing to a top mounted supercharger (Aurion TRD style) which would make it nuts! Not sure if it would be able to pass engineering though being a 3.5L Supercharged in 1050kg car???
 
As the ct26 is still working okay I'm hesitant to spend money replacing it atm.
 
What do you think I should do?

Nothing wrong with the 3S, I'm sure its ballsy enough @ that weight. Just swap the tarby to:

GTX28 rally potato
CT20B
K1
PE1919T
CT27

GT3071 too big for that kinda application.

Be nice to keep it cheap, reliable responsive & pulling to redline.

Yes I am of the same opinion as you Jay. As much as its tempting to make big HP numbers, (again) a responsive engine in a little car is lovely.
I am thinking I'll get a bolt on style turbo 20b, PE or K1. A rebuilt 20b with steel wheel and billet compressor wheel is available these days and with a Power FC will pass 200rwkw easy at 20psi.

There is an unused rebuilt steel wheel c20b on mr2oc.com for US$800.
 
Love where you are going with this car mate.

I've looked at that one a couple of times and have been thinking about it. Another $800 bux on the car this week might push the marriage a bit too far at the moment haha. 
It is a good price and shipping wouldn't be too bad as the seller is in Hawaii. 
 
Cheers for the compliment!

Thankfully for you, there's no rush. I'd just continually trawl Yahoo Japan & keep on Dylan/Shane's tail for when a decent bolt on turbo pops up.

Yeah I'll keep my eyes open  and see what turns up.

Received a package today thanks to Lindsay in Victoria. AE82 Corolla factory deep dish steering wheel. Same as Mk1a AW11.
 

 
 
And what it looks like installed. I didn't bother cleaning the car or anything so the following photo makes in look a bit messy inside.

 

Looks nice & deep.
