Anyone who is running an S14 or S15 T28 turbo: Let me know what boost levels you are running and how they are working for you (i.e. problems, Hp numbers, etc).I am just taking a little survey.thanks!

Damnit Kevin, you're making me look bad!

But seriously...For those who want to know what happened, I had my cams installed 2 teeth retard and the thing only made 125 Hp @10psi on the dyno when I was having it tuned, since the cams have been fixed, I have not gone back to the dyno yet, but I think its making a little more than 125 now he hehe he .....so it wasnt the turbo sucka! GT25R? whaddya think, I'm made of $? I spent all my dough on that fancy C&R Radiator!

Lets not get off topic, still trying to get some more info on the T28's

T28 is a good upgrade to go with, it will bolt up, need to rotate the outlet and easier to put on custom oil lines for fitament,

THanks for the post, but ya kinda missed the whole question. I am just curious what boost levels people are running with a T28. I already have a T28 installed and I am running it, I am using 12-13 psi boost and it is working great, just curious what level I can safely push it to when I need to.

you can run a T28 up to 18psi, that would be the max, 16psi would be prob a good number

I've got the t28 on my redtop and when I got it dynoed it came out to be only about 190rwhp at 10psi. But it is also running very lean after 4000rpms.

Time for some 555cc injectors.

You should make 270 - 300rwhp on a S14 or S15 turbo. Average is 270 but with some supporting mods you can turn out 300. At 270 the stock MAF looses resolution and the 370's are at 100% duty cycle.

The reason S15's, car not turbo, turn out closer to 300rwhp is the larger injectors have better duty percentages which actually means they atomize fuel into a patterned spray.

I'd swap over to a Z32 Maf, 550's or 480's, good exhaust manifold, and turn out 300rwhp on 18psi tops.

I know I was expecting at least 230whp. I really don't know why it was so low. But my mods are:

t28 turboGreddy fmicintakeGreddy bov (plumbback)Greddy downpipeFull 3in N1 catback exhaustGreddy boost controllerApexi SafcIIWalbro fuel pump

I believe that is it.

Really I should be making more power, when it was dynoed it was around 92 degrees so that might have something to do with it.

Something is seriously wrong with your car then. You can squeeze 210-220whp out of a stock t25 with those parts & boost (12-13).
