Hi Im new to the boards I tried searching, maybe I didnt Search hard enough. I was wondering if I put a GT2510 on my CA18DET, will have to get new oil/coolant lines? or will the OEM ones work? This is in a S13.

Thanks for any help!

Its the same center section as all the Garrett GT25/28's...so no, you won't have to. A little bending should be all thats needed if anything.

Cool, Thanks for the confirmation.

Is this the one your talking about? http://www.atpturbo.com/Mercha...e=OIL

How is your oil return setup are you using a stainless return or what?

yes thats exactly the right piece.

I'm using this for my return hose:

and a 90 degree copper elbow I bought from home depot that screws into that ATP return flange. fits PERFECTLY. lots of steering shaft clearance and a pretty short piece of hose. (like 3 inches)

nope, but once you get the return flange, go into home depot and the copper pipe fitting section and find the 90 degree elbow that screws in there bring the hose with you too to make sure it fits on there. I might be able to crawl under there and get a pic of the set up if it ever stops raining down here. I swear, florida sucks.

hks makes the gt2510. and it came both t3 and t2 flanged. it uses the same type oil drain as the s15 turbo gt28 unit t2 flanged. stock ca18det lines fit the turbo perfect. just need to bend a small ammount to clear. real easy instal. WARNING, do not use with ssauto or aftermarket mani that repositions the turbo, the turbo sit on the motor mount and it SHMELTED my unit.

im running the gt2510 with mines unit tuned for this turbo specifit, 10 degrees timing, full exhaust bov and fmic stock injectors on stock boost beats moded srt's and k20 swaped hatchbacks with full exhaust. thats my 2 cents.

That would be cool, Thanks.

Have you ever dyno your car before Slideways? When do you get full boost and are you only running 7 lbs?
