hey again...

Ok i've been doin some research and i've learnt that the r33 gtst's

came out with a medium sized t25/t3 turbo? i assume thats correct?

Also i've read that the t28 turbo which i pressume is a larger more powerful turbo

came out on the silvias from s14 up???

From the info i've read, i gather that the t28 has the same 5 bolt exhaust housing as that

on the rb25 turbo. Aswell as a t3 flange??? Can someone confirm?

Therefore, if i was to get a high flow turbo for my r33 gtst, would i be better off using the

t28 over the standard r33 turbo? has anyone done this etc?

does it just bolt straight in?

Im well aware that theres probably heaps of threads on this already, but when i run searches

the results dont show much in the way of posts that answer this questions.

If someone could confirm that would be fantastic.

Thanks

Guesty.

Do you know whats involved in hi-flowing a turbo?

The housings are machined out... and quite a bit.

So the actual "size" is changed quite substancially.

Use the R33 GTS-t turbo for hi-flowing

only ask cause i was offered a high flowed t28

wanted 2 know whether 2 get it cheaper

or just high flow mine

SR20's manifold flange run a different flange to the RB25s.

So... you would need to change rear housing, and then have your rear housing (if it was actually bolt on, and im unsure of this) machined to suit

or have an adaptor flange plate laser cut so it would bolt to the R33 manifold.

Lot of rooting around for a second hand turbo

I can't remember the actual compressor housing size of a t28 as compared to a rb20 turbo housing but one thing is for sure...it can handle more boost than the shitty ceramic dinosaur rb20 turbos and will make more power too...

if your gonna go a t28 get one off an s15, they r newer and they r ball bearing s14 ones are not ball bearing it only a small thing but very noticeable

On the contrary...only jap spec s14 and s15 t28s are bb...the aussie delivered s15s and s14 t28s are bush bearing...

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
