skyline t28 bb turbo upgrade

RevLimitLaunch said:
just to clarify i have found out on nicoclub.com (big nissan forum if no one knows) the exhaust wheel is ceramic, intake wheel is steel. the turboes are only good up to 14psi before they will shatter the wheel. ill be running 11 psi at most on this.
Never mind then I'm going to need something that's more reliable at a higher boost level. I'll pass on the other one.
 
not really, you said the ceramic wheel would shatter and go into my engine...the intake wheel like i said is steel, the exhaust wheel is ceramic, therefore if it shatter i will s*** it out my exhaust pipe and then have no boost.

AND they don't shatter randomly at just any rpm like you stated, they shatter after you overboost the turbo past 14-15psi. so your statements are completely wrong, that does not make you awesome.

I didn't buy two old as **** Skyline turbos, that makes me pretty smart.

out of an r34 skylines rb26dett, that would mean they are no older than 99-00, and they are perfect. so how are these old as ****!?? and being that its ball bearing and an upgrade for the car thats all that really matters. its ok that you're jealous :) but your ignorance can go to someone elses thread since you've been no help to mine with misinformation

also i guess its not smart that a 2nd gen dsm'er switch out his turbo for the more apt and cost effective upgrade of a 1st gen 14b turbo right? you start with a car thats between 12 and 8 years old and switch out to a turbo thats between 17 and 13 years old and nobody comes up with no problems. i myself am included in this when i started out. what do you say then?? and the MANY MANY nissan enthusiast that swap out to diffferent turboes off different sr/rb configurations of all different years? not smart you say huh? your dumb (flame2)
 
that would be exactly what i had expected from an idiot that knows nothing, thank you for proving my point. and i'm glad i already got the right information or i'd be pissed that this thread would be closed from your ignorance.
 
I think that you guy's spitting back and forth at each other was probably one of the high lights of this thread. Turbo's and asshole's my life in a nutshell
 
nothing would've been a problem if genius knew what he was talking about. either way when its in the making and complete ill get an install/how to together and post it elsewhere since this thread isn't gonna go anywhere else now...
 
Damnit you got me laughin my ass off. **** it man. I'm interested in this thread. I really want to see the swap man I think that it's a great idea. If thats all you want out of the car is about 10 or 11 lbs then hell yeah man do it and get the boost flowing
 
lol i will be, hopefully sooner than later. i wanna get some other stuff at the same time, catless downpipe and a fmic setup im gonna rig up also so once that comes in along with the dsmafc ill be ordering very shortly. so within a month or so i want it to be done if the thread i still good and open lol ill post it up in here. ill have a dyno of before and after at the same boost levels as well.
 
Are you doing like a custom mani? something like OBX styled mani? Does the Turbo have an internal wastegate?
 
yes its internal, ill probably stay that way too. i'd like to do the protege garage intake mani, if i don't i might set up an external gate, but ill prob stick with the intake mani instead. i wanna stay on a budget lol.
 
I know what you mean. When i said mani i meant turbo, but now that were talking intake manifolds, what i would do is take your stock mani and take the center chamber ventury(butterfly) out and have it ported and polished on your own. Thats if your trying to stay on a budget.
 
never thought of that but it's probably what i'll do. thanks. i still doubt ill do external gate tho lol. we'll see how it all comes together. if sh*t happens and i wanna upgrade i can always pull everything off i guess.
 
If for some reason this thread stops and is long gone by the time you get the turbo on the car please bump the thread. I really want to make sure i get the 411 on this. How far are you from VA if your on East coast after i get mine rebuilt maybe i could see it at a meet.

Do you know what i mean by the center ventury? If you take the intake manifold off the car and unbolt it you'll see the top half of the chamber that opens into the head ports. Leave that one but just slide the center one out and then have it ported and polished. The aftermarket one's come with a single chamber instead of dual so i'm guessing that it would pretty much be the same.
 
So, dipshit, have you compared the compressor maps yet? (gossip)


I am going some place with this, but I'll see if you figure it out on your own.

Ok Mr. Mazda Tech. no i haven't compared the maps, sorry i'm not a mazda guru but since you "know you s***" and you have some sort of confidence that your car is quick. Run my hatchback i'll be in FL in june for the summer. We will see who's questioning who then.
