T28 rear housing size & Hi flowed ?

Hey guys I'm trying to find out what rear housing size my turbo is but can't seem to find the right info. 

I've got a 200sx - s15 with which I believe still has the factory t28 bush bearing turbo. Does anyone know what the rear housing size is not sure if its the .64 or .86 or I could be wrong all together...... anyways any help  would be appreciated. 

Also Has anyone had any experienced with Hi flowed turbos ?. Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I understand Hi flowing the t28 will mean that it will still spool at the same rpm as it is stock but just makes more boost compared it in stock form at the same rpm for e.g. 

Stock                 Hi flow

 2000rpm          2000rpm
=5psi                 =7psi

and so on wards ?

Does it also mean that the t28 will hold boost right upto redline as well?. 
Are there any downsides or things to worry about when Hi flowing?.


Cheers.

Hey mate,

The rear housing size will be stamped on the housing, easiest way to confirm. Our cars don't tend to stay stock for long, I'd just have a look to see if any previous owners have changed things up. 

With regards to the high flowing, you haven't quite got the right idea of how it works. Maybe the easiest way to think about it is, when you high flow you'll have a slightly bigger turbo in the same size package. 

Essentially the way it works, the housing is machined out to allow a bigger CHRA to be fitted. The size of CHRA that can be fitted will be based on how much can be safely machined out of the housing. Other upgrades can be made at the same time, such as ceramic wheels to steel wheels, ball bearing core, etc 

'Holding boost to redline'... it's a bit ambiguous, I'm sure the factory turbo can hold factory boost til redline, if you see what I mean. To try and answer your question though, a falling boost curve can be due to a number of reasons such as the turbo falling out of it's efficiency range. If you do a bit of reading on compressor maps and how to interpret them, this should help you answer your question on if X turbo can hold the boost you want. 

Downsides or things to worry about? Hmm pros: ease of fitment. Cons: you'll probably want a bigger turbo soon lol. 

Hope some of this helps.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
