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!!!

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • 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.
