CCT Stage1 Upgrade Hi-Flow CT26 Turbo Charger To Suit Toyota Landcruiser 100 Series 1HD-FTE 17201-17040

1. My 100 Series has the 1HD-FTE, do I really need a Stage 1 or Stage 2 upgrade?
The factory turbo is reliable but restrictive for modern Australian touring. Our upgrades modernize your 4.2L engine, providing sharper spool-up and the massive induction volume required for heavy towing and effortless highway overtaking.

2. What makes CCT’s Stage 1 "Performance Design" Billet wheel different from others?
Our exclusive Performance Design features a Slim Hub to reduce central mass, High Blades to increase surface area, and Extended Tips for superior aerodynamics. This combination makes our wheel significantly lighter than factory units while flowing more air for instant response.

3. I tow a 3.5t caravan. Will the 4mm bigger Stage 2 wheel cause more lag?
No. Thanks to the Slim Hub and lightweight MFS Billet construction, the Stage 2 wheel is far lighter than original cast wheels. Even though it is 4mm larger, its reduced inertia allows it to spool up faster, providing immediate towing torque without the lag.

4. Can I safely run 15 PSI on my standard 1HD-FTE fuel system?
Yes. The 1HD-FTE is incredibly robust. Both Stage 1 and Stage 2 are designed to operate safely at 15 PSI (Factory is 11 PSI). To achieve absolute peak performance, a professional fuel adjustment is recommended to match the increased airflow.

5. Is this turbo a direct bolt-on for my HDJ100 Landcruiser?
Yes, 100%. All CCT 100 Series upgrades are designed as true direct bolt-on replacements. You reuse your factory oil lines, coolant lines, and exhaust flanges with no custom modifications or manifold adapters required.

6. Does this upgrade help with high EGTs on the highway?
Yes. By pushing a higher volume of air more efficiently via our Performance Design Billet wheel, the air-to-fuel ratio improves. This results in a cleaner, cooler burn, which provides the best protection for your cylinder head under load.

7. Why should I choose CCT Billet over a cheaper eBay "High Flow" turbo?
Quality is critical for a 4.2L engine. CCT sources from top global manufacturers and performs precision VSR balancing in Melbourne. Cheap turbos often use inferior alloys that fail under the extreme thermal stress of a 100 Series Landcruiser.

8. Are these performance units high-speed balanced in Australia?
Absolutely. Every CCT performance unit undergoes high-speed VSR dynamic balancing and flow-calibration in our Melbourne facility to ensure vibration-free, whisper-quiet operation and maximum service life.

9. Will this turbo work with my aftermarket 3-inch exhaust and front-mount intercooler?
Yes, it is the perfect companion. The Stage 2 in particular is designed to take full advantage of high-flow intake and exhaust setups, allowing the 1HD-FTE to breathe to its full potential.

10. Does CCT provide long-term support for this turbo?
Yes! Aside from our 24-Month Warranty, we provide a Life-Time Cost Price Repair Service for all CCT branded turbos to keep your 100 Series on the road reliably for years to come.
