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.

      That sounds like an excellent idea. But total self-sufficiency means exactly that. You have no-one else to blame when your system faults out and you have no power for a week or two while it gets fixed. You'd have to go the whole hog and get a diesel genny and all the switchover gear, to get you through such times. And, despite the fact that over 20 years, my system has been pretty reliable**, I have seen so many inverter explosions (or less dramatic deaths), panel and roof JB fires, and so on, over that time, to know that the stuff is the same as any other bulk Chinese manufactured stuff. The failure rate is well above zero - both on the equipment and on behalf of the meth addled installation labour force. And then..... warranty and means of redress against the supplier you bought the gear from. Best I can tell is that only a handful of solar companies are still around within 5 years of starting their advertising pitch. They disappear and phoenix like crazy. So, as per 1st paragraph, I suspect the only way to is go balls deep and spend maybe 2-3 times as much as you might think, so that you have every base covered. Plus, know and understand your gear intimately, so you can diagnose problems, sort them out yourself, etc, etc. Plus, probably have to consider upgrading various parts as the years pass, to maintain compatibility with newer stuff, performance and reliability, etc, etc. Whereas, remaining attached to the grid has an ongoing cost that keeps going up even if you use bugger all power from it. But it does provide the fallback in case of the worst case with your own gear. You either pay up front or as you go, I suspect.

      Add more solar panels to the array. Call the electricity company and tell them you're moving out... Live off grid electric wise

      I'm extremely suspicious of the VPP stuff. Best I can tell, you surrender any and all control of your panels and battery to the VPP, because there's no way that anyone could write a sufficiently useful set of "rules" as to how much you would be willing to let out of your export meter at any given time. If one of your main interests is to have enough in your battery every evening to get you through the night without having to import, you could easily find yourself with nothing in your battery at the end of the day, or part way through the night, and then be paying import pricing instead of paying nothing. I cannot see how this cannot come to pass.

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

      By GD51LA · Posted

      majority aftermarket is an10 yes, but majority of OEM is An12 r35 OEM cooler lines at close to an 12, the hard line that car uses is almost 20mm  Porsche OEM is also AN12   i figure, if our power levels are close to 1000hp, then AN12 should be a must if many OEM standard power vehicles use AN12
