Hi guy's,

My current turbo has some smoking problems, so I am after a T28bb off the RB20 S2 (T3 flange).

Must be the bb version, have no major shaft play, oil issues or chips in the wheels.

Or even if some one has a good t28bb core that i could buy?.

If not,

I was thinking of maybe upgrading to the RB25 turbo (depending on price), the only issue is that my 1.3ltr swift will suffer from lag, tho the extra power would be ok.

Any ides on how much bigger the R33 turbo is?.

Thanks

Andy

for your information bud, there is only one T28 turbo that was ever produced and that came on a nissan pulsar GTIR, the other T28/T3 style turbo's come off SR series motors like SR20's, the turbo that you seem to need is one off any RB series motor. thats why your looking for the t3 style exhaust flange.

So there is only one t28 ever produced & it was on the "gtir"?.

"the other T28/T3 style turbo's come off SR series motors like SR20's"

I don't think that the SR20's use T3 flange, hence the post wanting a turbo from an RB...?

"the turbo that you seem to need is one off any RB series motor. thats why your looking for the t3 style exhaust flange"

The turbo that i have is from a late model R32, that is a T28bb, same as the R33 (but with different smaller rear exhaust housing, both T3 flange!) & yes the T3 is what i have asked for?.

I have checked Turbo's from 89 R32's & the core is different, they are non bb, the later model r32's have an extra bolt in the core & is a good give away that there is a difference also the the core size its self is different...

Please tell me if i am wrong.......

I'm not a guru just trying to pass on some info so that we may all grow and prosper.

I have some docs that you can read to help you get your head around what came off what. at the same time bear in mind that everything you read is not the gospel so if you ask some one who has been in the industry or better worked with some one with years of experience then they will tell you what i have blerted out.

"T28/t3 style" is different from "T28 front and t3 flange" have a read and see what you come up with. as with this extra bolt, I'm not sure youll have to send me a pic of it

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
