Blew my Turbo, Going with an SR T25 what supporting mods do i need?

[driftin8ez]

So my CA t25 finally bit the big one. Running 11-12 psi combined with no bov for about 7k hard miles on US soil finally put my stocker over the edge. I figure now is as good a time as any to go with an SR T25. Right now i have an fmic, just picked up a bov, a 2.75" turbo-back, Sigle cam KA MAF, Fuel pressure reg/walbro 255lph pump, and thats about it. What else do i need to safely run an sr T25 at say 8-10 psi? I searched and really couldn't find anything beside that i need to clock the turbo to clear the exhaust mani.

Thanks

nothing

[driftin8ez]

so i can just pop that sucker on... That is as soon as i find one for sale. Anyone have a none blown one for a good price?

Seriously though. I should be ok with the mods i have so far. Will the stock CA suction pipe work or should i get a hard pipe?

[Winona]

yeah u can and actually i have one in very very good condition no shaft play i upgraded to a gt28

[driftin8ez]

really... Would you take say $125 shipped to nj?

[Winona]

yeah its been laying around for awhile i was gunna put it up on ebay last weekend but i forgot i didnt have a digital camera on me

[driftin8ez]

i could paypal you the cash right now and you wouldn't have to deal with the hassle. I always hate it when i list something for like 7 days people bid on it then they dont send me the cash.

[Winona]

sounds good, [email protected] i can ship it tomorrow too

[driftin8ez]

Before i pay let me just make sure. SR T25 right? Also does it have the waste gate actuator as well? I think mine has been leaking for a while causing my turbo to boost higher than norm.

[Winona]

yeah its an sr... i dont think the wastegate actuator is on there.... im at work rite now so i cant remember but i dont think it does but u shud be able to use the one off the ca t25 i beleive

[driftin8ez]

ok cool... So you would be able to ship it tom.? Can you please get a tracking number? I'm always so paranoid when it comes to buying stuff off forums.

Thanks payment will be sent shortly...

Edit: Sorry to be a pest but i did notice an old archived thread where you where selling an sr turbo. anumeric said he paid you and then kept asking you for a tracking number. You didn't reply in the thread but i just wanted to make sure everything went ok with that.

[Winona]

yeah i can get u a tracking number and i can ship it tomorow too

[driftin8ez]

sorry dude i don't think I can send you any money. It seems that you have a pretty bad rep when it comes to selling stuff on nicoclub. Along with your unverified paypal account i just dont feel comfortable.

Anyone else gotz a turbo for me?

[Winona]

alrite up to... if u dont trust me ill ship it tomrrow sned u the tracking number before u pay me... or pay me when it arives at ur door

[driftin8ez]

I would definitely feel better doing something like that. If you send it out and give me a tracking. When i can verify the destination i will send you $130 from my paypal account without fail.

[dvd]

man i bought 3 sr turbos, all of them didnt have much shaftplay but they all blew smoke. bleh just go with a new turbo

[Winona]

that works.. and no it doesnt blow any smoke the seals are fine and no play u can wait till it arrives if u dont beleive me just send me ur addy and stuff to my email my email is [email protected]

[driftin8ez]

Ok that is very generous of you. I will definitely take you up on that. I'm sending you my address now.

Thank you very much.

[Winona]

k its fine its no different than sending me the money before i ship it... its just reversed

[driftin8ez]

ok i'll keep an eye on my emails for a tracking number. I got the cash in my account so it's just a matter of getting the product.

Thanks again,Mike

Well i might as well start taking off my stocker.

[Winona]

np

[anumeric]

I wouldnt trust this guy. I paid for a sr t25 back in sept or aug of last year, cant remember exactly. But he never sent me my turbo, didnt answer any emails after I paid him, did respond to his for sale thread after I paid him, and also didnt respond to my paypal complaint I filed to get my money back. In the end I lost my money since paypal couldnt do anything. I ended up having a extra month of downtime on my car since I was waiting for this turbo. Which in turn lost me money cause I didnt have a car for work. If you dont believe me its fine but I can provide you with links to the thread and paypal complaints if you want. I just don't want anyone else to get ripped off by this *******. I would get one from a reputable seller on the classified section. I ended up getting on from Wannawangan on the forums, he's a awesome seller and I have brought a couple of things from him.

Wei "Anumeric"

oh yeah Winona where the **** is my money or turbo you piece of ****?!

[driftin8ez]

Anumeric: I'm well aware of his short comings. Him and I have worked something out in an effort to protect myself from another possible scam. I appreciate you looking out for a fellow CA'er but i think i have it under control.

[driftin8ez]

surprise surprise... No turbo or tracking number from winona. LOL So does anyone know if i can use the stock oil and coolant lines with an sr t25?

[Darius2250]

I did, I also cut and flaired the hard lines and put in some Steel braided line.I used the stock oil return pipe at first, but then went to the SR one and more braided line

[Masterdebater]

eh t25 is weak go with at least an sr t28 bb.insta-boost ima have to sell mine soon once i can find oil lines and mani for my t3/t4 :/if anyone comes across anything for a t3/t4 let me know and ill sell my t28 on hizzy

[sr20detconv]

You did not see my write-up?I'm using the stock water and oil lines.I don't see that much power difference but at high rpm you still have alot of power not like the ca t25.

[driftin8ez]

Wow never saw that one. Good write-up. I will have that close by when i'm doing the swap.
