Silvia Club of NSW

Thought I'd separate the T28 to its own topic:
I am considering the change from a T25 to T28 because my cooler is rather large so im wanting to bring the boost up, on top of other steps to fight the lag im going to experience.
is the T28 able to pump that much harder? enough to make it worth my while, or should i wait till i can afford something in the T03/04 region???
the car must be ready by may/june so i could wait till after engineers or if its cheap enough, do it now and not worry about a bigger turbo for quite a while.
and did the T28 come out on S14's or just S15's?

I think a T03 or T04 wait might be a good idea, although a T25 -> T28 is a nice setup from what Snezy was telling me the other day about your ute then I would recommend waiting for something bigger.

Why drive when you can drift?

hey
You should have bought TO4 with loan that you got but no no no you had to go out and spend it all on things like pannels and paint work and rice, you, you, perfectionist you!
GO HARD OR GO HOME!!!!!!!!!:)

s13 = t25
series 1 s14 =t25
series 2 s14 =t28 non roller bearing!
s15 = t28 roller bearing!

This is what I understand please correct me if I am wrong, but im pretty damn sure its right!

From what i understood, the S14 T28s only had a roller core, the S15 turbo is a full roller bearing set up.

Not too sure about that mabe someone else can shed some light on this!

Yes, I think the S15 one was a full BB setup and the S14 turbo was partial. I think, I dont think very clearly at 6am after a 12 hour shift...

Erm, as for a swapout, the S15 turbos go for about $1400-1600 (brand new) depending where your looking and trading sexual favours with, but they are a 'bolt on' and theres no stuffing around with new gaskets and plates etc.
Have a look around for the T03's you might be able to snag one for about the same price or less than the new T28 and spend the rest on getting it reconditioned.

S13 CA18DET = T25
S13 SR20DET = T25G
S14 SR20DET = T28 non BB (aus delivered)
S14a SR20DET = T28 non BB (aus delivered)
S15 SR20DET = T28 BB

The T28's off s14a 200sx's came both BB and non-BB.

I heard its the cars early in the production run (nissan ran out of stocka turbo's), and also those towards the end (nissan got generous )that had the BB turbo's.

Dont know if there are any visual differences, but try spinning the blade and see how long it spins on its own.

Not an exact science, but I spose it will be a good indicator

Is anything with Imports and exact science? LOL
The T28 refers to the 'family,' name, the Roller Bearing T28 is available thru Garrett up to 440hp versions
I got my 330 from there but unfortunately it took a little fitting
Too much Boost is a genius with those sort of things tho, I should have got him to do it

just on the subject, what kind of power figure would a s13 sr20det with the s15 t28bb turbo be able to reach??

just kinda curious

Depends on other mods or stock. Have heard reports of stockies makin 110+ rwkw... very responsive to mods.

I have a crappy CA18DET stock turbo, and I'm pulling about 13.9s 1/4s.
if I had my engine tuned for this setup, It'd probably be a lot faster.
I'm pulling that turbo off though, and putting on a ray hall GT25 440hp turbo that I bught 2nd hand
PS:
I'm from melbourne, I have a 180SX with CAI/FMIC/boosted/3" zorst/BOV/semi comps/veilside front bar/rims/PC for mp3 music

cool, im just pipe dreaming here.

Running the current setup my silvia pulled 119kw@wheels but it's running really rich, no matter how i drive it, totally off boost, majority freeway driving i cant break 300kms on optimax/bp ultimate. Thats how rich it's running.

On wednesday it's getting the boost controller installed as the wiring is really bad, and i've organised a front mount as well.

It's got a mine's vx rom which i have to work out what to do with, but after that i'll be looking ahead towards the turbo so im trying to get a handle on roughly what turbo can flow what kinda power. I can get my hands on a s15 BB turbo, but i don't know what kinda power figure it could flow
