D-series turbo...

im looking into getting a EF hatch and wanted to go turbo for something quick, but breaking the 200 hp mark. i have a friend that is selling a gt28r turbo for $300 and was wondering if i should pick it up since they spool so fast, he also has a kit for sale kinda sorta for $750 w/ some 450 (iirc) DSM injectors, he said the kit is good for 250HP and just wanted to know another route about doing this.

what name brand is the gt28r

 

[z_a_k]

i believe he said it was a skyline gt28r, i could be wrong, but im pretty sure thats what he said

 

[AHHVTEC]

sounds a little high to me but if it dont have any shaft play or anything is probly ok

 

[z_a_k]

so you think its worth the $300?

 

[AHHVTEC]

well now that i think of it your only gona get a new one for about 950 at the cheapest so yea its probly worth it

Garrett makes a gt28r BB which comes with the edelbrock turbo kit!
My homeboy made 260whp on that kit a stock d16y8 14-16psi!
The gt28 will make 200hp but hp don't mean anything if you can't put it to the wheels..

the GT28r turbo is definetly worth the 300 bux if there is no shaft play! U cant buy a new one for that! strong turbo and spools pretty quickly you shouldnt have any lag!

that's a $900 turbo. its surely worth 300 bucks in good working order.

he said its off a skyline, which would make it a t28 if im not mistaken.

it kinda sucks because the disco potato (gt28rs) looks almost exactly like a smaller T3 or yes even possibly a T28. They are both internally gated as well. Check the casting numbers and at least make sure for 100% sure that you aren't going to pay $300 for a worn out T28.
