See thread "big Ends" for full story, but if I was to upgrade my standard T25's, what is the next stage, I am thinking the compressor and housing from T28 onto mine. And if this works what HP and do I need to do anything else. currently exhaust, Apexi, JWT chip and water injection soon. I am not looking at spending masses of money, just a bit of an upgrade while the eingine is out.

:eek: TBH I wouldn't bother, you'll just end up with a more laggy stock turbo that doesn't really flow much more air. Exhaust and compressor side are carefully selected to give best spool-up/flow for the application intended. This is all IMO of course, others will disagree :)

I disagree, I love my T28 :dance:

Yeah but its on a different car you nob! :D:rofl:;)

Pah! Mere detail :D

OK, comments noted, thanks. I will wait and see what others say and try and make a choice. I like the idea of T28's, but wont for no benefit, and wouldnt if I didnt have to work on the engine anyway.......

Hmmm fishing around always helps :)

 

Check out http://www.ztechz.net/id4.html and more importantly:

 

Garrett Hybrid 'T28': Most of the T28s I've seen are only T28 compressor wheel stuffed in the stock housing. They NEVER produced any good results. Most often, they do damage to your engine because of the excessive heat generated by the incorrect housing. Experience has shown they're not worth buying.

 

;)

Thanks for the link. The more you learn the less you understand. If you know what I mean?

I have been reading some yank site and most of them feel a T28 hybrid is rubbish. I am not prepared to spend thousands on flash turbos. I had hoped T28 bits into my T25's would be worth doing for little cost. But I am leaning away from that at the moment. Its not as if I want 500 bhp, (well I do of course but wont pay for it). 400 bhp would be nice.

So from reading the little bits so far it seems my stock T25's can do that, just. Do you agree? Maybe I will just have them rebuilt while the engine is out. Comments? Thanks

Have them rebuilt with 360 thrust bearings. You'll get close to 400bhp at 15psi. In stock form with a few miles on them they won't last forever on that boost so the thrust bearings will make them more rugged....

Sounds good, thanks for your thoughts. Any idea of cost?

I got mine rebuilt with racing spec Garrett 360º kit, step gap oil rings and new turbo wheels for less than a grand.

 

I was told they will do a bar of boost all day every day, as they are designed for racing.
