skyline garrett t28 turbo.

[nightmaresk8r45]

today i bought the garrett t28 m24 turbo from a rb26 skyline. i kno the flanges are the same and everything but is their anything i should kno before installing this on my car? if anyone has any info on putting a journal bearing t28 on an msp please let me kno. ill take all the help/ advice i can get. i kno people do stock tune/engine w the gt28rs and still make good afrs but is it the same case w the t28? anyone that can help. thanks.

The T28 pushes way more air than the stock T25. You may want to pick up a Wideband and an Air/Fuel controller. Also what other supporting mods do you have?

the key to using that turbo is keeping LOW BOOST. especially if you dont have a ton of supporting mods. run it at 6-7psi, swap your old wastegate actuator over if its at all possible. most of the t28 WGA's are set to 1ATM/14.7psi from the factory, and that will blow your motor as soon as you get on it.

i was gonna buy an aem wideband. and they make 6psi wga for this turbo so i think im good. ive just never seen anyone else use a t28 b4...its always the BB GT28 and idk how different the 2 turbos are hahah.

Whats the hp range 260? would it still line up to the exhaust correctly?

I squeezed a hair over 300whp on my sr20 240sx years ago with it on 19lbs, which is pretty much just at the limit

If you were talking to me, It was a stock sr20det redtop with gt28r on 19lbs and 650cc Deutchwerks, Jim Wolf ecu, 300zx TT maf, etc.

you cant compare an SR20 to a FSDE, despite what looks like similarities, theyre not very alike as far as specific output goes. you can get an SR20 with 8.5:1 running 7psi on a journal bearing t25 and its making something like 210 hp. FSDE runs a ball bearing gt25 at 9:1 and its making 40 less hp.
