looking at the dollar to yen buying some sort of HKS bolt on or even the Greddy range will put a pretty big hole in ur pocket e.g a GTRS for the 25DET would prob cost you 3k ? but you could always buy a GCG high flow which cost about 2.8k or even go the Garrett GT30 turbo's but you will need to mod the dump pipes and lines :D the GT30's are about 1.8k lines around $200-400

best to just replace with stock in my opinion cause upgrading to higher hp turbo will mean new injectors, afm, ecu, piping, dump, oil lines etc. With a budget around 2200 it wouldnt be enough imo

Unless that gt28 is a direct replacement for the stock one which i doubt, correct me if i am wrong someone. Then if it is a direct fit your looking at around 300rwhp before the injectirs/afm max out anyway. Is the price worth an extra 40hp?

replace with stock mate....

if your looking to go a/m you'll probably need to updgrade injectors,afm and ecu etc and as your looking for a cheap option just stick with the stock turbo and save money to do the support mods first then do the turbo upgrade... no point in a big turbo if it aint gonna hit boost till 6thou revs

i've also got a standard turb for sale in VGC pm me if interested but yeah if u go for a bolt on GT30 turbo, if u read in forced induction people are having trouble controlling boost .....i think its better to get the "real" garrett GT30 without the chopped up RB housing and you can bolt a GT30 onto the standard manifold no probs :cool: just need to make oil/water lines and new dump pipe

    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 馃ぃ
    • Perfect! Thanks for this, both look like great options!
