So this is a T28 then?

Post by **TOMSUN** » Fri Aug 19, 2005 4:54 pm

No.. It is a nissan turbo but of Garret design. It is an RB25 turbo.. Somtimes refered to as a T3, but due to the 4 bolt T3 Flange that it uses...

Have a read of this doc...

http://www.a12-racingteam.nl/index2.php ... df=1&id=59

My turbo it the 2nd last in the doc... It even got a 5 out 5 rating... :D
It rated at approximately 185kw, but I don't think I'll be seeing any of those numbers... (Check my signature)

CussCuss...
I got the manifold custom made... (I haven't got the bill for it so I can't tell you how much it was.
Where about's in Sydney are you?

Decoy...
The rocker cover is going to get power coated red, I think... originally i was thinking white but it would get too dirty.

im in berowra, up north. Most people would go custom as the stock manifold is a POS. Ill be making it with the help of a mate with steam pipe bends, theres a couple of tutorials on the web that give some good pointers. the main thing that was annoying me was the ps pump, theres the choice of doing what you did or to angle the turbo to point out to the outside, so im quite interested in what you did to the ps resovoir as it could make it a hell of a lot easyer to do the manifold.

I got the 3 flanges from Liverpool Exhaust.
- 4G63 to suit the Starion head flange
- 4 bolt T3 flange
- Nissan 6 bolt RB25 turbo flange

I think it was about $150 all up for the 3 flanges.

Plus the steam pipe bends I got through work for about $70.

Then the labour to weld it up and grind it then to get the faces of the flanges machined.[/i]

I like the pipe work.

Yes that pipework is very nice :D

Mine will be going in to get the piping done and turbo swapped in a few weeks, I hope they do a job of similar quality. Although I wont be having that sexy Sonata injection.

Let us know when you get the bill, if the price is good, do you think you could get more made up?

Post by **TOMSUN** » Fri Sep 09, 2005 11:28 am

FUEL...

I can get more made... But what is you budget?

What turbo?
Are you after a T3 or T25/T28 flange?
Internally or externally wastegated?

Fuel · Post by **Fuel** » Fri Sep 09, 2005 1:08 pm

I haven't really set a budget, and i am not really sure i want one. But if the price was right i am sure many members would consider it.

Either T3 or T25/T28 flange. Shouldnt really make much difference on price i would think.

Internally wastegated.
