sr20 forums are a cheap place to get used t25's, where does one get cheap and plentiful t28's if such a thing exists?

 

ebay.com

 

branded garrett, no better source?

 

Truth of the matter is, chinese turbochargers have come a long way in the past 5 years or so. Why spend 125 bucks on a used OEM garrett turbo in unknown condition when you can buy a brand new chinese t28 for $200? Too many people are using these successfully to ignore them.

 

i would, but i need a garret turbo charger, i'm locationally challenged.

 

OOOOOOhhhh. I see. That is teh suck with the carb E.O. restriction. I'd bum around the SR forums if I were you :/.

 

Found my T28 on the sr20forums for 350shipped. Just gotta wait around.

 

what kind of condition?

 

If only the retards on the mazda 247 forums could get this through their heads.

 

Well, I just made an account there last week, and my new chinese t3/t04e is going in this weekend. I'll be sure to post up some dyno sheets after I go on the 10th .

 

Join some Canadian Nissan Skyline GTR forums and you will usually find a bunch of T28's.

 

will it have some funky flange?

 

No usual flange, but you'll need an adapter for the compressor side. Only the Nissan 300ZX turbo's had a strange 4 bolt exhaust flange.

 

cool beans

 

I have a GTi-R t28 from my old DET powered SE-R for sale, $300 + shipping. It worked 100% and boosted great but I started to notice some puffs of smoke during deceleration.

 

There is a big difference between a GTR t28, a GTi-R t28 or an s14 t28. If I remember correctly from my Nissan days you want the GTi-R (sunny/pulsar) t28 or if you can't find one of those an s14 t28. You definitely don't wan't the skyline gtr t28, the turbine is much too small.

 

Isn't there a problem w/ Skyline T28 being ceramic coated or something? Can't remember...too lazy to find out.

 

Ceramic turbine wheel I think anything above 14psi they shatter?

 

I would deffinately consider that, but, I have a cruise coming very soon and I need all the money I have for it. Thanks for teh offerz

 

I would check the SE-R forums as mentioned as well as the Sylvia conversion forums. The S14 T28 is the same as the GT2560R (most of them call it a T28). Also, the VW 1.8T guys use that turbo as well so they sell them sometimes.

I bought the two I recently sold from Craigslist, but I live in a Navy town and the Navy guys seem to have extra turbos more often than most.
