s15 t28 fitment problems, please help! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

i have a s13 sr20det in my 95 s14. i bought a s15 t28 ball bearing turbo and me and a buddy started putting it in last weekend. the coolant and oil lines were a bitch to line up, but we got that after a while. the only thing is the bolts on the inlet side and the bolts for the elbow where the intercooler connects to the turbo are not lined up the same as the old t25, so my intercooler piping and my intake are not fitting. anybody know of anything i can do? i imagine a different elbow would help my greddy fmic fit, but i don't know if that needs to be custom made or where to get one. help?

the discharge elbows on the T25 and the T28 are the same, what changes is the arrangment of the bolts on the compressor housing. Even if you get the T28 elbow you wont be able to bolt it to your S13 hotpipe, cause it's always gonna come up at a 45 degree angle, unlike the S13's 90 degrees. So modifiy your hotpipe by either cutting off its 90 bent and welding a 45 or you could just cut it and use a silicone 45 coupler elbow. If it was me I would not run silicone so close to the exhaust manifold though.

Someone must of clocked the turbo to their likeing. Clocking it back should fix the problem.

oh, that's cool. that takes care of the intake and the turbo inlet side of things huh?

djsukebe · 09-16-2005, 01:42 PM

should take care of everything since you fitted the oil lines already

MTRLevolution · 09-19-2005, 06:33 PM

do you know of any other place that carries it? i'm having trouble contacting rare trick, and that's not a good sign.

i think drift factory and more japan sells those

s14brent · 09-19-2005, 11:04 PM

just make sure you have the turbo clocked in the right position, then cut and reweld or you can order the inlet/outlet from phase2motortrend

MTRLevolution · 09-27-2005, 11:00 AM

wait, so you're saying i can order the s14/s15 inlet and outlet pipes on this page and my s13 greddy intercooler piping will line up?
