Well any model GTST that has steel wheels (think r32 might) can run higher boost, the other GTST turbos (33/34) have ceramic turbos which means that it will crack under to much boost... not sure what wheels the t28s have and not sure whats safe on them, generally dont have to many kms on these units so can run higher boost through them anyway :)

Its not to do with the b/b or bush bearing nature of the turbo, its to do with the compressor/exhaust wheels on them :P

Someone feel free to correct me if im wrong?

As usual, I'll correct you.

R32 - R34 GTST/GTT all have Ceramic exhaust wheels.

R33 series II and R34 GTT have a form of plastic Compressor wheel (the wheel on the front on the air filter side of the turbo)

I believe the R32 GTR also has ceramic exhaust wheel. not sure about R33 GTR.

that is why people tend to upgrade to N1 turbo's which are steel wheel.

R32 GTST - R34 GTT (all single turbo skylines) all have Ball Bearing turbo's.

Whitenight - no.. it does not mean you can get 225rwkw out of a T28 from an S15 when on a skyline.

The S15 turbo will be a downgrade to the RB25 stock turbo.

it is smaller and will flow less.

it is also a different bolt pattern which would require more mods to fit.

S15 turbo's are good upgrades for CA18's or SR20's from the S13 range.

and usually also go good for those that Turgo charge their 4agze which is the 1.6L supercharged toyota engine.

You need to get over urself mate :P

I have seen a dyno of 215rwkw on an s15 with a t28 b/b turbo, also did have cams and on an rb25 it may make more power due to the engine... but thats really really at the max of the turbo mate, its not usual to see that kind of figure!

What you believe as a correct fact in regards to a WRX vs R33 could also be regarded as incorrect unless you have both cars in stock standard form to compair?

Do you think you can stop laying into me about trying to help, its not as if i said this is how it is hints y i asked for any1 to correct me which you wanted to do in a smart ass manner... wouldn't of said anything if you would of said 'actually Jazza r32s also have ceramic turbo's' instead of ill correct you again.

Dont think im asking too much to not get attitude do you?

Scathing -  

yeh that would be Brentons right?

I think he had in the region of 225 rwkw with a lot of other mods apart from the turbo.

Scathing, if you are the same scathing on other forums, then you'll know Dale.

and I think that night you were hitting 14 flat in the tree fiddy... if that is you..

Yep, and yep.

Very unimpressed with my ET. There's definitely more in the car, but after I set the 14 flat I just got a little too excited trying to break my NA light-tune barge into the 13's, and ended up screwing up the next couple of launches.

I figured you were talking about Dale before. The other thing about Dale's car is that his suspension is set up for the track. He did soften the dampers out and run lower-than-normal pressures, but the rest of the geometry is still very circuit oriented.

And he was using the D01J's which, with their ultra-stiff sidewalls, aren't the best drag tyre in the world.

the only time I got down there, it was a good day.

Greg (not old man but the other one... Sellby I think it is (the suspension dude)) was there and he helped out a few of us first timers.

anyway, after a few soggy laps in my S14 with S15 stock suspension, I parked it and went for a drive with Dale.

after seeing/feeling the way his car taking the corners with the teins and DJ01's, I didn't take my car back out.. I was quite scared being in his car and the corner speed and late braking that he could do.

Brenton was there and he put on a set of yokahama slicks.

hahahaha

I had asked him to take me for a spin in his at lunch, but after experiencing what Dales car co do with less power (he had his boost controller down to 11psi) and with just semi slicks, I chickened out of a ride with brenton..

hahahahaha

Yeah s14 i would say 170rwkw to 180rwkw and a 1/4 mile in the mid to high 13's...just my 2 cents

My mate has these mods and dynoed 160rwkw but that dyno reads 10% low, so it will also depend on the dyno you get the reading from, gear, tyre psi and dyno mode etc.

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
