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

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
