Can someone identify this turbo? Supra?

Can someone identify this turbo? Supra?

Hi there,

I have recently aquired a "hybrid" engine. It is a 4G93 (1.8L Mitsubishi Lancer GSR) with a custom manifold and turbo on it. I am trying to figure out exactly what turbo it is as I think it will need a rebuild or replacement as it is blowing smoke.

Person who built the engine reckons the turbo is off a Supra but can't remember which model. And someone has stated perhaps it is a CT-26 turbo?

Inlet gasket which is the SAME as a T3 :?

If anyone has any information or suggestions please let me know!

Thanks :)

not a ct2# turbo
oil fedd and return are on the same flange
and your oil feed looks like its on the top

could be a ht18 with a skyline ex housing and a to4e front cover
but then the wastegate is wrong cause there integal with the downpipe

id go for a td05/6 with a 20g compressor for my guess

whats it go like ?

Is this correct?

All turbos can be clocked to face the outlets as needed. To look at the pics again, even the wastegate valve is on the wrong side for a CT, and is connected differently. I would again lean to the t3, or a t3/t4 hybrid turbo.

Definately not standard Mitsubishi.

Someone suggested a Skyline turbo of some sort? As they are factory T3 flanged...
