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 thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
