What year is the 180?

T28 is the go. Even if it doesnt fit straight on, they're awsome on SRs.

I think its 1994 quite a nice car hes only had it for a week and theres oil coming out of the turbo pipe into the cooler etc and his coolant is a little milky green so ? its not looking that good

T28 is pretty generic, slike saying you want some size 11 sneakers.

Trust T517 10cm pretty special, Apexi RX6 is hot too i hear

If you persist looking on SAU for NS.com info, at least try and borrow the ear of users STR8E180 and URAS on the topic.

as for the 180.

what is the goal.

if he wants the same response he has now with the ability to make about 200rwkw, get a turbo off an S15.

yes it's a T28.

it bolts straight on.

while you're at it, get the injectors from the S15 too.

once he has more cash, he is a fuel pump, PFC, EBC, Z32 AFM and tune away from 200rwkw

in a 1200kg body should be fun with no extra lag compared to stock.

those turbo's can be had for about $400

there are 2 types. ball bearing and non ball bearing.

and both come on aus and jap spec S15's

it's all very random.

the only way to tell without pulling it apart is from the part number stamped on the body of the turbo.

both can get to 200kw region.

ball bearing would be better obviously but apart from a little more response, you won't be missing out on much.

more power after that is much more dinero

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
