T28.... TD04's are small. If it were a TD05, maybe...

u got ur answer shri haha

get s15 t28 spec-r model, there are two models of s15 t28s, one is from manual car (spec-r) and one is from automatic s15 (same as s14 t28 bb) get the manual the car is completely different now. It may not make 400whp, but 320whp with 4.36 diff and grippy tires makes for a world of fun.

I have the S15 t28 specR turbo and it's great. I am have a problem with boost creep on it, but I think that is associated with my High Compression. Boring out the opening for the wastegate should elleviate my problem. Outside of that it's an AWESOME turbo, and I love it. It's creeping up to 1Bar, and holy CRRAAAPP, the car is stupid fast, and that's with wwwaaayyy too much fuel, and lots of retard. I got mine, BRAND NEW, for about $850. Not bad IMHO.

I recomend the HKS 2871R. It full spools around 4200rpm and is good for about 400 whp.

[OmarM]

the 2871r is a great turbo, but its too much for a ca18det on the street. My buddy has one on his sr20 with cams and rom tune, and he has grippy 225/45/16s in the back and it the car is useless until third gear on the street. Though it does run 11.5s at 117 on ET Streets.

I would love to see an HKS GT2871R. I havent seen one before......EVER! Now Garretts on the other hand sure...................

i recommend you show me a HKS GT2871R......

I think the gt2871 is a great street turbo.....stay outta boost and you wont spin your tires. the third/fourth gear pull from the .86 ar is awesome.

Bull$hit... the 2871R is NOT too much for a ca18det. It's all in your wheel/tire/susp setup. There are plenty of s-chassis cars making more power than the 350 that Angel put down...

[mikesim]

i agree with c-rad. i ran 225/50/16 on the street stock. it's all in the wheel/tire combo. 255/40/17 might stick a lil better.

[tyrannix]

maybe your friend should get a multi-stage boost controller? (if im understanding and he just spins his wheels until third?) or did you mean he gets no power until third?

The 2871R is perfect for the street. I can get a picture this weekend if you want it.

You show me one dynosheet of a GT2871R making 377whp on a stock block s13 redtop sr20det with just cams 264degrees, gt2871r with .64 exhaust housing, not the big one, and a rom tune, no greddy intake manifold either. You show me, I have searched, oh yeah and boost at about 18 pounds i believe. RS-Enthalpy Scott is amazed it makes that kind of power with no greddy intake manifold or big exhaust housing.

Settle down tiger... I never said more with THAT turbo. I just said more than him HP wise.

thats what i was saying.i know theres no hks one.

[Kouks]

Turbofortysx is the one who said that. note the original post.

[TurboFortysx]

HKS does sell a turbo that is just like it. I just dont kow the name of it off the top of my head. My friend has that model on his SR20 with cams and usual bolt ons. His car made 365whp at only 1.7 bar.

The picture you posted does not have the traditional two bolt compressor housing which is the one most people use.

Granted I'm only running a 205/50/16 right now, but I can't run more than about 10psi, or first gear just lights up the tires. I have EVERY intention of running Apex's AVC-R Boost Controller. It's stupid expensive, but I LOVE the gear based boost control. I will have to modify my CA transmission to get it to work like I want, but I really feel it's a great controller and with a high HP car, is the best way to get an easily controllable car.

I heard the AVC-R has a lot of trouble with quick spooling/low boost. My friend had it on his Eclipse running a 16G and never got it work right. Although my friend with a 50-trim on his SR loved it. The only one that I have personally used that seems to work good is the Profec B (old one, not spec II) or the new Type S. It's a dual stage and you can get the remote to make it easier to switch between the two.

[float_6969]

You've really got to play with the duty cycle on them to get it to work right. Their drawback is how many options and how much functionality it has.
