    Re: t28 turbo advice

    You will need the following....

    • Nissan 200sx turbo
    • custom oil feed pipe
    • possible different oil return pipe, depending on what you have just now
    • Rotation of cores
    • Possible modification to actuator bracket/rod
    • compressor adaptors might be required
    • If you do not want too much lag (full boost before 4000rpm then a tomcat turbo .49ar rear housing is required to replace the .64ar.
    Hope this helps

    Good advice Miller one further question is the .49 a straight fit in place of the .64 housing or does it need machining out?

    From what i remember the tomcat turbo has a square edge turbine heat shield and so does the 200sx and they both share the 54mm inducer exhaust wheel so it does not need machining.

    If you ask the turbo wizard he will be able to confirm this

    ive never got a T28 with a .49 housing to ever spool full boost (22psi) before 4000...even with arollerbearing one...

    all of t28's ive had have taken up to 4300-4500 to reach 22psi.... depending on gear...

    Is it possible to identify a turbo from the garret serial number?
