hey everyone,

now i'm running standard pretty much everything on my GTT

i've only got basically a full turbo back exhaust (bar the front pipe - Blitz NUR Spec from cat onwards) and a Blitz Air Filter

HKS SSQV and that's about it!

now, i've already placed a deposit on the big f*ck off massive TRUST/GREDDY (genuine) front mount that can handle pretty much any power (unless you're going into drag applications) and i've also placed a deposit on a Vi-Pec ECU (Australian equivalent of a Power FC i'm sure most of you have heard of it)

anyway, the reason for the deposits is because i'm studying full time so have to take things easy as they come along... in saying that, i have heaps of spare parts to get rid of that can fund some more modifications, i'm curious though because i know that the Front Mount can handle more than enough boost that i want to apply and the ECU has a built in Boost Controller so i don't need to worry about those mods, know i don't want to run too much boost but the thing is, being a Nylon Wheel the GTT Turbo i know doesn't like more than 12psi

a few weeks back i had a friendly run in with a 180sx and he slaughtered me, only to find out he was running 15psi on a T28 (unsure if it was Ball Bearing) and obviously i'm only running the stock 7psi

my main question is, with the planned modifications i have in mind (and out of curiosity) how hard will it be to fit a T28 BB (like will it be a bolt on) and will i see much gain whether it be response or power wise?

any help would be much appreciated, i know i'm noob and that is exactly why i'm seeking any friendly advice from anyone here!

i was looking into upgrading to a HKS GT-RS but i've decided to take it a bit easier, please... i need to know!

thank you so much!

regards,

Andrew

t28 on a t3 manifold on the RB?

get the GT-RS :laugh:

next thing holding you back would be injectors and maybe clutch

when thats done, smash in more boost on the RS

another thing is.... 180 is a couple hundred kg lighter

so you will need more power then him

i would finish off that exhaust before putting in ecu.

Otherwise later down the track when u change it u will need to re tune it again.

T28s are getting a bit old now ? I remember my friend using a T28 in his accord and he blew it up!.

Unsure on the boost controller on this aussie ecu, but if its anything like the powerfc boost controller i would recommend getting a 2nd unit.. maybe hks evc 5 or something of the similar or a gredy pro if ur after soemthing cheaper.. As the power fc one doesnt hold the boost all that well...

thats all i can think of atm.

pretty sure T28s dont bolt up the the stock manifold (T3 flange) you need and adaptor plate

at least this was the case when i was looking for my new turbo

i went with the gt-rs,easy direct bolt on(i did it myself one saturday in my shed), good response and im making 300rwhp even with stock injectors (i have apexi pfc) and a other supporting mods

which is enough to chop most 180s :)

thanks for the advice on the exhaust Brendan, i'm just gathering up a new muffler and trying to sell my Blitz NUR Spec and get Kermit to make me up a whole new exhaust with the front pipe as i already have the dump and cat replacement pipe

and Steve and Eric, advice taken in

and Karl, i think i'll be going your pathway, i mean if the T28 bolted straight up i wouldn't have minded in using that temporarily while i wait for some $$$ for the GT-RS but yeah looks like i might just hang it out with the stock turbo for now and just wind up the boost to about 12psi

how much do you guys estimate that the car will make with just the ECU, 12psi, Front Mount, Air Filter and Exhaust? at least 250rwhp?

i'll be happy with that in the meantime for sure... any ideas peeps?

and much appreciated on the prompt responses compared to the FI section

cheers,

Andrew

i'm homo with my search function as i'm useless with computers, thought the FI section would be awesome though so gave that a shot - didn't work

anyway, car will be leaving the market soon enough, however after the makeover it will be back on the market Rhys

another question though;

how much would high-flowing the standard turbo cost approximately and how much boost would it be able to handle safely?

thanks

T28 won't bolt onto the stock manifold; adopter will be needed; then there is the issue with the line, and dump pipe.

Highflow turbo will bolt straight on. can use stock lines/dump pipe/intake pipe etc;

However i have heard people having issuing with highflow turbos; whether its just a coincidence or not will need some research on your part.

GT-RS is a good turbo kit, comes with everything you need and should give you between 300-350rwhp but down side is the price cost is upwards of 3k atm due to exchange rate

Andrew... if you're not making 250hp with 12psi you have problems. I'm making 260hp with only 9psi on mine, so 12 should be closer to the 270-280 mark. I'd agree with what most people have said here. Go the GT-RS option. Also look at the 2835, but I still reckon the GT-RS is a little better suited. It seems to be the way most people go with good results :bunny:

Just a suggestion. Maybe look at upgrading your clutch before your turbo if you're on a tight budget. My clutch is getting pretty bad and is getting changed in the next couple of weeks. You don't want to be saving for a clutch for ages while its already dead lol

GTRS is the go, have a few payments to take care of before this can be considered

and Ryan, i'll take your advice, i'd do the turbo and clutch at the same time i guess, FMIC and Front/Dump together, then i'll run 12psi (which should be safe until i have enough mullah for the turbo and clutch)

should be fun until then, i've made up my mind everyone, thanks for all the advice!!!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
