okay guys, i am finally going to do it, im a gonna go turbo, NA is just pissing me off. so here's my question to all you turbo gurus out there:
are the exh manifolds from the BB DET and the GTiR interchangeable, as in can the T28 from the GTiR fit on the BB manifold and vice versa? also, can you mount a T28 on the NISMO manifold? i know that there are better setups out there, F-Max, etc, but i really dont trust myself with that kind of power, plus i dont trust our trannies with that kind of power, i just want a nice, quick daily driven car capable of low 14s high 13s on street tires. plus, i dont really want to spend over $3500 on a turbo setup for a car worth $13K. i already have a JWT ECU, motor mounts, 97 tranny with VLSD, full suspension, brakes, ACT clutch, and all bolt ons, incl cams, so all i would really need is the turbo hardware (370s, turbo and manifold, lines, IC and piping, exh components, etc) and my ecu to be reprogrammed ($100 IIRC) i also dont want to buy a DET as i feel my motor is in perfect condition, and i dont want to install something i am iffy about (maintenance wise) and this would only complicate things with my relatively low power goals (~200-220HP @ crank)
i also dont feel safe drilling holes in my engine block, so couldnt you just buy another lower oil pan and have a bung with the proper fitting welded onto it for the oil return line?
as for the turbo, what is a good price on a good condition or rebuilt T28? and what trim should i get, i am not too worried about lag, i mainly just dont want the turbo to fall on its face past 6K rpm.
last one:
i have the tomei 256 (IIRC) cams, so would i need to play with cam timing to prevent reversion? would this pose enough of a problem at say 8-10 PSI and keeping it below 7K rpm?
thanks fellas (and ladies, if there are any)
