hi mate i use my car every day too im running the t28/t3 roller bareing on mine. if you can afford to go this far i would go for one. they are great. :D
The turbo you go for will depend on what spec the rest of your engine is and how you use the car. Do you want it responsive or all power?Quote:

What you using car for?Quote:

would like it to stike between responsive and power if possible, lamps has got a t3 and i think its abit to much, i like how it pulls but dont want it to spin up in every gear ;);)
Me too :crap: cant make my mind up :coffee:Quote:

For standard cam and moderate boost i would go for T2/T25 combination, ideal for the road as still gives good response being a T2 on the turbine side.

i would stick with T25 if you want responsive or go down the VNT route :)
having had a few differnt turbos,, id say T25 is the most ideal sizefor the 5..
I've gota 285 cam and followers to go on with a port and polished head with inlet manifold to match, got a spare carb to rebuild to any spec to suit the turbo. Not gona use it for daily driver so it can be more powerful now, what turbo shall I go for, maybe t28 or full t25? And what shall I do to carb?
Either the T28 or a full T25 will work well with the 285 cam, obviously the T28 will be a tad laggier and full boost a tad later than the t25 in the rev range.
You got a wideband AFR kit??
No not yet, I'd like one but don't no which one is best for sub £200, heard the ones efi parts scoff sells are best?
Will there be much difference between t25 and t28 apart from t28 comin on later?
As you say get one from Scoff either the AEM or the Zeitronix kit. I use the AEM kit and have no complaints with it but the Zeitronix kit has alot more functions and can read other things aswell like, boost, egt's, revs', etc.. were the AEM is purely a wideband kit only.Quote:

From what I have heard the T25 with a .49 rear will have full boost by about 3500rpm's and the T28 will be about 4000-4500 rpm again cam choice will also effect this.( or was that will spool from 3500rpm on the T25 and spool from 4000-4500rpm on the T28:scratch:)
Hopefully someone with a T25 and 285 cam will advise and the same with the T28 and a 285 cam hopefully someone with these combo's will priovide some info:agree:
This is what I have and its the dogs danglies... love it to bits!!! I did have a Tomcat T25 which is a damn good cheap turbo :)Quote:

Personally T28 just seems to laggy for me on a C1J I would go for the full T25.
as said for the road either a nice specced t25/t2 or a full t25 is your best bet
Can i ask why people think T28's are too laggy?
I was thinking the same The t28 rollerbearing i used was my favourite, vnt was also good apart from the spikes. Had fully worked t25s, they just dont make the grade.Saying That, gt25r :smokin:Quote:

out of interest how much earlier does a rollerbearing t28 hit full boost than a normal t28
You intending on running abit of boost on that set up?Quote:

to be honest i cant even tell you, i put the engine in last year and never got round to driving it. an i hope your wrong! but will bare that in mind. just looked at the blue 5 u had. what bhp that have? looks fairly tuned. like the intercooler. i thought the skyline 1 i had was bigQuote:

:D Lightened flywheel and cam is on my list then. That's impressive.Quote:

Yep on both engines they used standard liners and pistons.
Only difference with the high comp engine is the pistons were flat topped.
The engine from the campus now is slightly different spec as it had refresh but its sold now so not tested it properly but does feel good, new owner will like it.
the liners will take more if everything is set up correctly
That's the problem near me, none of the local rolling roads give me the faith to set it up properly, plus i don't have a wideband. I'm holding on to some offers from some friendly folk Swindon way ;)
I'm about an hour from swindon if you ever get stuck ;)Quote:

Thats what I have, just got to fit it. :)Quote:
