Car's running like a champ! Scared off an eclipse yesterday.

Installed a vac-boost and a/f gauges (on narrowband for now) on a pillar pod last night

Just thought I'd stop by and say DAYUM

just my thought but I would have gone with gauges of the same make and style. just me though. nice all the same.

/\/\true, true, but i was in need of an a/f gauge badly

Can the turbo manifold me rigged to take a different turbo? maybe T3/T4 ?

good stuff man, maybe when it gets warmer i can drive down and get a ride in the turbo civic? haha!

 
Rep Power: 284

No, T3/T4 uses a T3 flange. TSI manifold uses a T25 flange. Even if there wasn't a problem with the flange, the T3 and ups would be too large to fit. The manifold dosen't angle to turbo out. The T28 is even to large IMO for this manifold.

WTF Im geting soo many people confused, YOU have a t25bb... WHO HAD THE T28bb!!!! i remmeber someone telling me who had the t28bb they required 1500 in modifications to make that turbo fit in with that manifold because it wouldnt fit right

 
Rep Power: 284

The only 2 people i know on the site running T28bb's are Thebigjap and exturbo6. You're probably thinking of exturbo6. Thebigjap dosen't get on much.

 
Rep Power: 360

yes that would be me..i have a t28bb and it cost me 1500 bucks to install the kit.

 
Rep Power: 327

i too have the t28 but its not installed yet getting closer................

 
Rep Power: 360

yeah, since the turbo is im taking it as much bigger then the t25, i had to get things moved aorund to make this dam thing fit..the turbo was hitting the radiator, they had to turn the turbo to make it fit, they had to take the wastegate off and relocate it so it wouldnt hit the fan. they need to make some new piping for the intercooler. i think thats it. i try not to rememeber what happened with that.

now im on a new thing i wanna do. i want to get rid of these 2 extra injectors and get rid of there injector control unit and get new injectors and e-manage. but car runs awsome. this cold *** weather it very cool.

Good stuff Eternal Blue!! That FMIC looks great with your car (btw: love the wheels on that blue!)

Anywho some things you will definatly to consider are the following tho:

1. That 'hot pipe' coupler is entirely to big for your pipe...they do make reducers that go from 2.5 to 2.25 or whatever your pipe is...it's in the pic on the far right of the 4 attachments you sent...

2. With such larger couplers I would suggest to use T-Bolt or Constant Torque clamps only..those hose clamps will fail and when they do, it usually isn't ever at a good time/oppurtune time (tends to be on places like exressways and the sort...places where you're fecked)

3. That t25 is a great lil choice to have...you'll have tooooooons of midrange fun with that baby since it's spool up is so fast....that or if you ever plan to upgrade, looking at a t28 would be super nice too

Again nice ashit tho...it does look like it will be tons of fun .... Nawz Hater Represent! ;]

As for extrubo: Do you have pics of your setup?? Wasn't there anyway to use a slimline radiator and fan setup to enable you to use that t28???

 
Rep Power: 360

yeah i have pics in a camera just have been home and i just forgot. ill try and get the pics done this week and post them. im sure i could have got a slimmer rad, and a new fan. but i didnt have the money at the time...but the spring my car will have more things done that i wanna do to make it better. but for now this will do..

THANKS!!!!! It took me forever to decide upon wheels. I love the whole dark, then chrome lip spinning going down the road. Looks like some ***** outta Super Street, haha.

Yeah, i intend on replacing everything. I know what reducers you're talking about there. Whenever i'm not broke anymore i'ma do some serious work on the kit.

Agreed! Midrange is a beast! haha. I'm currently looking into replacing the manifold with an HKS manifold and swapping the T25bb out with a GT28RS ("Disco Potato") Right now i'm working on getting some custom leather racing bucket seats with CIVIC ettched into the head rests........so yes....in time.....

Hey man, not to make you stir away from that gt28rs (you make nissan guys happy when you like that turboo....desisnged specifically for the nissan sr20 :])

ANYWHO

Instead of forking over all that cash on the potato, you can make a t28 act the same as one for alot less money...i mean it won't have the same pimp points, but it'll save you some cash for even more good stuff...

 
Rep Power: 396

Triple K t28... WHAM BAM THANK YOU MAM lol

Oh and Ace wasent the disco potato designed for the bluebird, not the s14 lol.. and dont say sr20 because all of those engines use diff turbos lol

 
Rep Power: 0

you are right...I saw SR20 in a general sense (used to posting on the nissan forums)

my excuse

you are correct...to an asepct

The Disco Potato was designed for FWD Sentra's who were boosting...Mike Kojima's b15 was where the car got the name...as you can see by the color etc..

(some pics from my personal gallery)



Albiet older Sentras were known as bluebirds, the ones that the turbo was tested on were on motors in FWD Sentra (b13/b14/b15)

Remember, as the models progressed in Japan, the Altima came out and at the same time took over the bluebird name...

Well as far as RWD sr's go I think there were only 3 different ones...s13=t25 s14=t28 s15=bbt28

Don't quote me on that, but i'm pretty sure :]

 
Rep Power: 396

s14's carried ball barrings also lol, the 13's didnt though, the trim was mesed with on the s15 a lil thats how they got more power.. and bout the bluebird yeah your right, but thats what popped into my head lol. I remebr when that sentra you posted first got reviewed in car mags man i was like that guy has ***** lol

***** is right...mind you it' snot HIS personal car (it's a company car) but the entire ECU has been hacked into and converted to work...and boy does it work beautifully tho!!

On the other hand...Mikes personal car is a 600 hp 300zx :]

/\/\ What about a Hi Fi T28?

 
Rep Power: 0

Not sure what you eman...I know my buddy Ray has a t28 with an .86 i believe compressor and the biggest a/r turbine he can use on his sr20, and guys with gt28rs are only netting like 5-10 more hp per rpm...so the cost wasn't worthwhile for him...

 
Rep Power: 396

gt series really show their potentional when you hit above 700 hp.... yeahhhhhh thats not for us.. lol

I have a funny story from last night. My bro rode in my car for the first time after being boosted. He admits it's rather quick. Then coming back home from the mall, i was at full boost when getting back on the highway flying past cars in the slow lane and then KUNK!......no boost.......nor could i even build any!! Putt-putted to the nearest gas station and looked under the hood. The downdraft coupling on my throttle body had blown off!! Haha. I laughed . Walked into the gas station and got a flat-head screw driver from the person behind the counter and jammed it back on and tightend the clamp really good. Drove home again......full boost
