YES!, go for it as im going to get mine done in a few weeks. Im adding a another t28 ball bearing turbo for my main turbo and leaving the t28 ceramic turbine one as my second turbo. This way you will run at least 18psi boost.

Cost wise, not sure yet but around $2000.

Ah, don't think so - if you're running 9psi in each turbo, then you'll still only run 9psi overall. And if you're running 18 psi in each turbo, the ceramic wheels aren't going to stay attached to the spindles for too long.

But someone might be able to prove me wrong.

Well personally i dont fink the engine internals are strong enough to handle the power. I guessing you'll need to change internals, as well as upgrading injectors, fuel pumps...etc... But i've been told you can run up to 18psi on stock internals.

Though it would be nice to beat a GTR very hard though! Goodluck buddy! Take me on first parallel boy! Hehe you know what i mean Supra! hahahah

Probably can but for how long? Prob last like a couple of moths... I would never run over 12 psi on stock internals after that u are just killing ur engine.

supra , u can get the gtst to stock gtrs power very easy but where do u get the traction to keep up with it ? and how many gtrs do u know that are stock ? u dont need to do much to a gtr to run low 12's . why not just buy a gtr ?

to run 18 psi on 2 turbos u need each one to run 18 psi , 9psi each = 9 psi not 18 .

At the Qld Dyno day last weekend there was a R31 with a rb25dett in it, it had two 180sx turbo's in it (I think)

It  made well over 200 RWKW on a dyno that reads low figures.

It was very well set up and made good low range power as well.

for the price to setup a twn tubro, i expect more than just about 200rwkw which stock tubro can achive

Two stock turbos will be able to be provide more boost to one engine because they're only feeding half the engine. Thus lower RPM on the turbo to provide the same boost. Since it's speed and not boost which kills the ceramic wheels it should be possible to get 18psi out of each turbo. Whether it's worth the effort or not is another thing.

Croat, there are plenty of guys here running more than 12psi all day everyday on a stock engine without any problems. I'm one of them :)

I'm not sure why you would do this. Firstly you are not running the turbos sequentially, so if you have mismatched compressor maps, you will end up with big problems and poor turbo repsonse - not good for flow. Secondly, two T28s are probably a bit big for a RB25 stock internals - they are sized to flow for 2.5L and sized to flow for 2.5L worth of exhast gas to spin the exhaust wheel. If you halve exhaust flow to both turbos, say hello to massive lag. And btw, "at least 18psi" is probably way past the efficiency of a stock T28 turbo... and on stock internals? I guess thats a good idea as a few weeks after you'll have to rebuild the bottom end with forgies - and then you can bolt on two T28 highflows and really build a monster.

Why not just do it properly and save up for a high flow or better still an aftermarket jap turbo second hand? Less hassle, better gains... and if it were as easy as throwing on another T28 for $2000 (which it will definately cost more than that) why isn't everybody doing this?

I agree on a stock rb25det it wont last long 2 turbo's meens twice as much cfm ,u gona need a good fuel setup.And by the time u build a manifold ,piping its not going to be cost effective.Also it will spool up later but so will a bigger single turbo.And think about this why do all the big hp cars (supra,gtr,rx7) all run a big single turbo....cause its two hard to get big power out of 2 turbos cause they have to be producing the exact same cfm,And this usally ends up in difficult tunning which is not worth the effort.

guys

if the aim is to build a GTS-t to beat a GTR, why not spend the money on more important things like aftermarket management system, along with a big enough turbo to provide the horsepower required. Match it with a good FMIC, high flow exhaust and air filter, and if the standard internals can handle the power gain you will have reached your goal, but more importantly you will have potential for more power gains with a strong rebuild in the future. Unfortunately this will cost you more than $2000, but then again i would love to see a well tuned twin turbo set up on a GTS for $2000.

Sure 'twin turbo' sounds sweet, but cost and hassle aint worth it, and your goal of beating a GTR can be achieved with a single setup.

Horsepower requires money, especially if you like reliability and drivability.

if you wanna do it.. use two t25's off a ca18.. they should work well and if your after a gain after that just upgrade to the t25g's then to t28's off a s14/s15 they are all the same flange so the two original manifolds you get made up will be fine. youll need fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, bigger injectors, fmic, custom exhaust manifolds (obvouis but had to mention) a computer that will use a map sencor.. cause it will just be easier.. but mostly up to personal preferance. .. the r33 gtst box should be fine.. a good clutch.. you could use different diff gears to keep the turbos on boost if they drop off.. id sujest getting cams and cam gears.. help bring turbos on boost if there is problems???.. what else is there.. anyway just from the stuff iv said that will cost a lil bit more than 2000 bux.

I have done this, home welded manifolds, dump pipes, Used E6k Ecu, goes awesome. Just got it on the road, only running 10psi. So far very good, lots of potential yet, shall let you guys know how it goes...

At the moment, it gets boost at 3500 rpm and then the boost hits hard. I highly recomend this sort of biuld up. Its cheap too!

Im using staged injection with 12 injectors.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
