GlanzaKidB77 Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Cars at tuning developments as we speak, hopefully going forged but need to make my mind up turbo wise?Any feedback for the GT28?Will i need any other components if i was to run a GT28 to a TD04?How reliable too?ThanksMatt Quote
Whitegv Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Just a different manifold and downpipe as the flanges are different. Quote
mattyD Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 you say hopefully going forged..................are you?because this will determine what turbo you should get, a gt28 would be wasted on a non-forged engine where as a tdo4 would be much better but if you are definitely going forged then gt28 all the way its a much better turbo dude and as said will need a different manifold & downpipe in order to run it Quote
ryan lang Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 t25 spool quicker than a gt28, and larger than td04 Quote
Flaminsam Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 That's what I want to run after my td04. Always liked Garrett turbo's. Quote
mattyD Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 t25 spool quicker than a gt28, and larger than td04 even though its bigger, i have heard that the t25 turbo's cant handle as high a boost level as td04's and wouldnt be much of an upgrade if anything at all dont hold me to that though, i havent tested it ;) Quote
GlanzaKidB77 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Posted June 21, 2012 Basically am going forged just a need to think what turbo setup i want while there stripping it. Anyone know anyone on here that has a GT28 setup? Quote
mattyD Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 have a look on the power leaderboard mate, there are a couple of people running them on there- http://www.s314kba.co.uk/leaderboard/ Quote
Ryan-11 Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 what size gt28 are u looking at? also ball bearing or journal bearing? Quote
AdamB Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 If its going on a 4e I would stick with the smallest trim which is the 2860. Will get good spool and a massive surge of power. They are good for about 340-360bhp. Quote
jakeep82 Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Think you hit full boost at about 4900 on the gt28 dont quote me on it but this is a unanswered question in the back of my head to do and was emailing a lad on here the other day who has a gt28 starlet ! Quote
AdamB Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 It depends what "full boost" is. You will make 0.8 bar quicker than 1.9 bar.I'm going to be running the newer version the GTX series turbo on a 5e and hoping for 1.6 bar around 4000rpm. Quote
