Turbo

I am aware that the garret t25 and t28 fits on the oem branches and downpipe, are there any other turbos that will fit that gives you more....the only t28 I can find is brand new and goes for almost R7000.
Somewhere there must be a more powerfull turbo that fits oem.

I dont think it will cost that much to cut off your old flange and weld the new one on Derek. I can bring my old manifold tomorrow if you want to have a look at it. Havent got a downpipe yet.

Good luck finding any t28 or gt28 2nd hand, nothing wrong with my turbo, always looking for better.....

Derek, I refer to our conversation with the new met sx owner called Joe. The sx owner we met at Swartkop Raceway. We need to further investigate. I see a few ads in SNS with T3/T4 but dont know if it is Garret etc. For the other viewers, we believe this Garret T3/T4 ballbearing fits perfect on 200sx s13 std manifold????

I have contacted a few Turbo guys including the shop that sold Joe the GarretT3/T4, unfortunately al the backfeed I get is that the turbo will not fit straight on the manifold, Joe had to have a non standard manifold and not know that. ๐Ÿ™

The easiest way to do this is to take your existing turbo & have it modified. That is what I did.
Remember, I', running a T28, the only difference is the compressor wheel is bigger.
So the guy got the biogger wheel, & machined the housing & it all fits together.

Also bear in mind that the t28 came in two variants. One produced 147KW & the latter was 167KW. Both ran 0.5bar boost. However the biggest difference was the size of the compressor wheel.

I thought about putting a t3/t4 hybrid but if I wanted to keep the existing manifold then the same would apply, they would take my turbo & modifiy it. If I wanted a new turbo then I had to have a manifold made.

just for interest sake, a Garret GT28RS ballbearing turbo sells brand new for R7000.

Wel i would recomend take of you're standard turbo and get to people
from stalion turbos or a reliable turbo guru and let them upgrade the
turbo for you I tool my standard turbo to them and now i am running
with the same setup at the exhaust side but the compressor side is
now t3 and all you want at the end of the day is more volume thus
for more power now my car pulls much better especially from about 4000
rpm on to the rev limiter much better than standard and all that for
round about R 2000[/img]

CChemCooladmin17 Aug 2006, 11:34

Love it. Do you have contact info of Stalion Turbo's?

Freddy, good idea, it works I am able to boost 1.2 bar and at a stage I could boost 1.4 without pinging or detonation with some other trix that helps as I already informed you but.... it might just be murphy that worked me over but I had to take my car back too them(Stallion) 4 times, there was always some cind of something, it took me about a month and a half before my car was sorted (that is the short version, phone me for the whole story), tuch wood it is still ok, I suggest you take the turbo off yourself and take it to them, othrewise if they take off your turbo you can work on almost a week without your car.

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not trying to discredit them, I just suffered a bit because they didn't do it right from the start, they will ask you R1650 to service turbo and another R950 to do the upgrade, if they take it off and put it back its another R650 and then if they do it after the 2nd time or so they will say they will have to replace gasgets and pipes another R350.
As I say it might not happen to you, maybe I was just unlucky. ๐Ÿ™„
