blacktop t25 in ka-t

[skuurtin s13]

does the t25 and inlet and outlet pipes and stock turbo lines of a blacktop s13 fit into a ka-t or do i need different outlet inlet pipes and stock turbo lines?

basically will this work for me just the turbo portion

the turbo compressor inlet and outlet can be used, u can even use the hot pipe coming from turbo also. i would just get a new oil line supply and drain kit from jgstools. if you want to use the water cooling(i dont), u will have to be creative with those connections. even the turbine outlet can be used and so can a sr20det downpipe( i had to modify both of mine coz i have the open dump(screamer) pipe and it was hitting the steering wheel rod, the downpipe was touching bottom of floor so it had to be extended.)the clearance issue can also be coz i am using solid mounts, maybe they sit a little different.

not the turbo manifold though, it can be used only if you are an expert fabricator and a cheapo. i am a cheapo but not a good fabricator(welder)

so i can basically put a sr20 set up in my ka..does a sr20 downpipe link right up to my exhaust now?

i dont see any reason it not to, only the downpipe might have clearance issues. mine was hitting the floor (at the curve on the pipe) but lined up with the cat, i am using a 3inch ebay exhaust on mine. i had to extend it by an inch or so after the dump pipe flange., for it to stop hitting the floor(i wanted to take a sledgehammer to the floor but that would be reckless... )i got all the pipes for oil and coolant but never used them, bought an oil feed and drain from jgstools, remember to install a restrictor in the oil feed line. actually the oil feed line i got had a wrong connector or i ordered it wrong. i had to get a inverted flare to 4an connector from a local import shop(illgarage) and that had a restrictor built into it. i will try to put up some pics, sometime...only the manifold from that will not work, and u might have to fab the hot pipe depending where u pass it thru. cold pipe is easy to fab for maf and filter.

Not really. It is very simple. You just have to take the two small coolant lines off the TB and extend them with brass barbed fittings and run hoses to the turbo. DONE. If you don't water cool BB turbos they could seize. Try to get atleast a BBT28. T25 is imo a waste of time.

I'm pretty sure you'll need a downpipe to connect from the elbow piece that bolts onto the back of the turbo. But they can also be found on Ebay for cheap. The parts attached to the compressor will work just like any other turbo. All you'll need is piping to connect it to the intake filter and the FMIC.

Get the JGS oil line kit, great advice

If the turbo is a BB, which the blacktop is IIRC, you'll need to run water lines. There is a link in the FAQ that explains how to do this, it's very easy. Using a BB turbo means water cooling is a must, not an option. I'm actually a big fan of water cooling any turbo that has the capability. Not using water is just lazy IMO. Anytime you can cool something that spins at 30,000 rpm and is attached to the hottest part of the motor...I guess "DUH" really comes to mind if you choose not to run water lines

Just my .02

You know what I think that is a T28! this might help u.
