I have a Garrett T25 turbo, and a mate gave me a T28 Compressor housing, He said i can swap the smaller comp housing on my T25 with this T28 housing, Can this be done?. Any info much appreciated.

cheers.

I think you'll find that the T25 has a smaller wheel (definitely a smaller inducer) so you won't be able to fit the T28 housing unless you build up some weld to machine out to fit the small wheel (which isn't worth it). If you manage to get it to fit without doing this the housing to wheel clearance will be so big you'll be lucky to produce any boost.

What are you looking for with swapping over the housing? are you looking for more flow because that's why you fit bigger wheels.

Best to remove the existing compressor cover and measure the comp wheel . If it's the same wheel it should bolt up .

The Term T25 and T28 (and GT25 and GT28) are a bit confusing .

A classic example is the term "GT2530" . In todays speak it would be called a GT2830 because thats what the turbines family is known as .

There really is no such thing as a "T25"/"T28'/"GT25'/"GT28" compressor wheel . There are 54 and approx 60mm OD compressors used on those turbines and even 71 and 76mm compressors used on the higher performaqnce GT28 turbine variant - 53.8mm NS111 .

If you can give me the ID tag numbers of your existing turbo I may be able to cross reference which compressor wheel it has to give you an idea whats what .

Cheers A .

thanks allot for your help guys, You are correct in that the compressor wheel is smaller, i compared it to a "T28" found in an S14. I plan to run this turbo on a 4age which has been built. My "T25" is from an S13 (i think). The comp housing says M-24 Garrett A/R 80, and the exhaust housing says AR.64 , then 4Z7. There is no plate on it. It has been reconditioned so i was just going to use that, but aparently it will be a little underdone. I got the "T28" Comp housing for nothing so if it could be put to good use without too much expense it would be great. Aparently the T28 or GT28R or RS is more suited to the application. Im very confussed by turbo names and specs so please correct me if im wrong. Any suggestions welcome. cheers.

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.

      To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.

      Food for thought, the stock oil filter thread is a 3/4-16 UNF, which has an ID of about 10 to 12mm (according to ChatGPT lol). Now compare than to an 10AN, which has an ID of about 14mm (Raceworks is 14.2mm, Speed flow is 14.27mm).

      Yep, totally get that. However hooking in for Generator back up is only a few hundred bucks for the wiring. You could put a couple of those in (for different circuits explicitly) and run a couple of baby generators. Bonus, you can balance them across different circuits, and now have backups in your backup. I'm looking at buying places that won't even have water etc, and I don't mind the idea of getting off the electric grid either, even with everything you've said. This country already has enough power outages that even the mains grid isn't that reliable anymore. I do agree though on spending a bit more to get better gear, and to add some extra redundancy in to the system too.
