Not at all, the way it is now, the turbo is placed at a nice exhaust flow convergance spot. WD

how did you detect minor detonation?

Presumably yes, it is. Why else would I use it? Other than the fact that it was on the first page when I google imaged it...

So, in effect you advanced timing on boost? Brave soul, but I bet it feels pretty good.

When I first put the turbo on I backed the timing out a good 7*, then started advancing it a bit, drive it, advance it a bit, drive it until I started to sense detonation, then I backed it out about 2*.

I don't actually know. When I went to check, I discovered that my Craftsman timing light has somehow died on me. Time to make a run to Sears I guess...

I start pulling timing at 5lbs with 2-3 pulled out for 10lbs. With the dist pulled back 2* W/ 93 octane and a step or two colder plug you should be good to 10 lbs.

Basically, fine. I put the clutch in it Fri morning (Thanks Nick!) but I blew the oil seal in the poor little CA t25  . It was in unknown condition to start with, and being off a CA is almost 20 years old anyway, so it was bound to happen. I put some coils on the car this weekend, besides the clutch in preparation for racing it at Miller in SLC in a couple weeks. I'll be throwing a gt28r on it sometime in the next week or so and then it should be gtg. Update with new turbo will arrive shortly after installation.

Be careful, you keep upgrading this car, and you are gonna want to get rid of the RB. How do you like the clutch? Much better than stock, right?

Ryan: Sounds good, I won't be home 'till Sun anyway. Nick: I put the clutch in on Fri (3 hr job) but with the t25 dead I haven't been able to test it out yet.

I just got the gt28r installed and running today. It IS wastgated, at 5psi for now. It's running well, but I do kind of miss the super fast spool of that tiny turbo  . I'll get some more under hood shots soon, it's raining right now. | Quote, originally posted by r3skyline » | | what was that block piece that you welded on before the flange? where can i get one? |
I just made that out of 4 small slightly angled pieces of 1/8 plate steel.

Funny, I would think that the spool would be more or less the same on a T28 as a T25, since the compressor is not much heavier. WERD!

Here's a current pic with the new gt28r installed.
As you can see, I actually went to the trouble to fab a intake this time, with the bov installed and recirculated and a pcv system port. I really am going to do a real world breakdown of the cost for this setup, I just haven't had time...
