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.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
