a Good platform to start?

http://www.lowmotion.org/viewtopic.php?f=93&t=143346

Can someone give me a heads up? It seems like a decent deal for a great price, then i can build from there.

2 g's is a good price shipped in the maitimes.....what are the known specs of a Gt28r??

also I wonder if it's the dual ball bearing or bush bearing type...

*edit nm...ic

Hmmm...looks good. I'd definitly look into it for sure.

Supports up to 350 hp. T25 style housing - a perfect high power T25 or T28 upgrade turbo. Dual ball bearings allow for higher efficiency and much faster spool up. Compressor: 60 mm, 60 Trim, 0.60 A/R. Turbine: 62 Trim, 0.64 A/R. Internally wastgated, oil cooled.

thats from garrett.

i pm'd buddy.
i think im gonna grab the kit.

Its basically a step below the turbo i'm running on my car and it comes on the APR Stage 3 kit, the GT28r is really a GT2560 whereas the GT28rs is a GT2860, which is what i'm running.

Personally, seeing the spool characterists of my turbo, i think that the GT28r is on the small side of what you should be running, especially given how much Honda's like to rev. the nice thing about it is that it will be a very fast spooling turbo and should be a good starting point

I don't see anything about Injectors and a tune, so expect to put at least another $1000 into that

This is the PM' i got back from the guy.

1. I made some changes to what i am selling. I am no longer selling the tial BOV with it. But they go for sale all the time for 100-150 bucks on this site and others.
2. I am now including the oil sandwich adapter (it screws on to your oil filter threads so you can run the oil line from the turbo to it), i will still be including the oil feed and oil return lines, but NOT the coolant feed and return lines. These can be made for 15-30$ easily. In its place i am selling the already tapped oil pan for the turbo return line, including the -10AN fitting for the oil drain line to screw on to, so you wont have to do anything there.

3. In case you didnt know...you cant make more than 240 whp reliably on a stock D series engine. You must change the pistons and rods before you can make over 250whp on a d16.
This turbo is capable of 31lbs/min, given the best conditions, which is 310 horsepower, but on a dseries it will be pushing it to get 300whp out of this turbo.

I'm telling you now though, this is fun ass setup to drive, and im sure i could have gotten into the 12's with it on the stock block had i turned up the boost to 15psi.
at 11psi i ran a 13.2 @105MPH.

I will sell for 1850$ very firm now, i already am losing over 2500$ on this shit..but it needs to go so i can get some money back for it.


what i gather from this is, i need a BOV (does it need to be TIAL?) and coolant lines?

What about ECU, Fuel Pressure Reg, Head Studs, Rods etc?

Well i just got off the phone with buddy.
Its mine and im getting injectors with it. All for 2 grand..
Road trip to Fredricton. Whos in? lol
