[James5]

Looks like a Escort Rs turbo Compressor housing so what are they T3 front and you have a T25 rear so it's T28

[Tazarse]

Cheers james....you thinking its a t28...wouldnt be much kop at less than 20 psi then...:agree:

[kentraider]

Mick ur a star...I owe u a beer at next surrey meet :smokin:

[R5MJH]

no probs mate, does it need a rebuild then boss

[kentraider]

Yeah needs a rebuild ....got lots of play in shaft...like a see saw lol...also found the plugs were oily an was smoking a bit to so sure seals are practically dead too....got new pistons and rings so sure its not oil ring or stem seals.....have u had or know any experience with a t 28 with a .63 rear machined on ?
You see how **** slow it was at pod mick at 17psi lol...baggy knickers mate :agree:

[R5MJH]

the .63 will be really laggy not coming on boost till very late in the day:laugh::laugh: lol, but ya get more bhp. yeah thats turbos fubar by the sound of it did it let go at pod then?? depends what ya want really boss theres lots of good turbos out there, loggs setup is in my eyes the one of the best turbos, but mikes is a full t25 and is very good too, everyones got there own view boss, didnt you rate the t28 then??

[R5MJH]

to add i think alot of people have that turbo you got now, maybe a rebuild would suffice??

The compressor wheel looks bigger than the 45trim T3 Escort. Looks more like 60 trim 4x4 Cossie. Definitely T3 though, in a T3 cover.

[James5]

Mick i think he's talking about a T2 .63 rear if so Robbie aka turbo Ted used it and it worked well for him

sorry boss i see:laugh::laugh:

[kentraider]

Your rite there mick.....logg was saying about how the turbo spools up so quick he did do his homework and found a great turbo....:agree: im gonna get a price on a rebuild with 360 bearing too....roughly what sort of rpmwise should a t28 be at full boost?? Also how should the boost build??? Rise up to the set psi and when it gets to whatever rpm ie 4000 will it go to set psi or by 4000 should already be at set psi....also a t28 running less than 20 psi will be ****e too??
Apologies for the s.a lol....or if its a stupid question too lol:sad2:

It's the unit all the tuners were selling back in the day as the 'big' turbo, T3/T25 hybrid. You most likely have a standard T25 turbine shaft/wheel, Nissan Pulsar GTI-R T28 compressor wheel (not Cossie T3 as I mentioned earlier, the shaft sizes differ and it wouldn't fit) and a 360 degree thrust bearing.

If you look at the 1/4 mile leaderboard, some pretty quick cars have posted times with a 'T28'. This is probably the same turbo they were using. 250hp should be possible.

[R5MJH]

sounds very similiar to bluntys turbo setup then lee going by that, but i maybe mistaken

[kentraider]

james has got more knowledge ill let him answer lol:laugh::laugh::agree:

Ha ha ha :D your opinion is more than welcome mick :agree:

[R5MJH]

Ha ha ha :D your opinion is more than welcome mick :agree:
thanx dan, it sounds a good turbo from what lees saying, did it shat itself @ pod:laugh::laugh:

I used one years ago, was a beast. Lazy, compared with a standard T2 but providing you're in the right gear when you plant the throttle, the car pulled so hard. If only for about 2000rpm before having to shift up.

If I remember rightly, full boost (20psi in my case) came up around 4500. Turbo started to spool at just before 3000rpm.

sounds like a rebuild if poss will be in order then dan, but its finding someone to do it maybe CR Turbos??

[kentraider]

thanx dan, it sounds a good turbo from what lees saying, did it shat itself @ pod:laugh::laugh:

To be honest mick when I picked up the turbo years ago when the lad told me it was a t25...didnt think much of it and put it away in cupboard....when I stuck it on I never looked at housings lol
Anyhow I was saying to my dad it felt laggy as hell an I thought it may have to big a rear housing....didnt start to spool up till 2500 rpm and boost by 4500....I was considering adapting a in car maccy ds straw to blow through to help spool up :cooter:
Now the cats out the bag its a t3/25 old slaggggg of a turbo explains the lag :sad::eek:
Was so gutted at pod too mick....great day for rtoc and to meet all the boostheads
Bad times for my timing slips :dearme::dearme:

[R5MJH]

but as andy(logg) stated it wasnt the best day weather wise to go down the strip (to hot), but at least you had a go matey, anywayz theres always another day boss:agree: and you wasnt even going to bother bringing ya 5 if i remember rightly:laugh::laugh:

Your rite there fella.....ive seen more lively 90 year olds :cooter: apart from being able to maybe run numbers at pod its gonna be pony at low revs and boost etc.......I do want to build the car around going pod now but a lot of lag to waiton....for only 2/3000rpm of boost.....im unsure of wether to get this rebuilt or save up a bit and get a different turbo :coffee:
