What should I do about my turbo? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Mjmyers7 · 06-03-2011, 08:26 AM

I have a 1995 s14 with sr20det swap. My turbo is leaking and I am looking for advice on what to do. Should I pay 265.00 to rebuild it? Or should I upgrade. Looking for any suggestions.

You mean oil seal?

Just look for another T2x, would be cheaper that way.

Buy an ebay T70.

what turbo is it? if its a t25 toss that shit in the garbage and get a s15 dual ball bearing from the nismo shop, they're 675 shipped

Upgrade for sure! But there is a lot more to just upgrading the turbo as the bigger the turbo gets in most cases you'll need a tune, bigger injectors, MAF etc... If you're on a budget just stick with rebuilding a turbo.

Enjuku has an OEM replacement t28 for 299.99

What is your budget like? If you have the $$ for injectors and a tune, then upgrading is a no brainer.

However, if your cash flow is tight i would recommend the rebuild.

CHRA is not cheap.
just get a s15 turbo, you will NOT be disappointed.

daftphunk · 06-03-2011, 03:31 PM

^ agreed. S15 turbo is bawws. Or if you have the bankroll get a Gt2871r, injectors, mafs, tune.

Mjmyers7 · 06-03-2011, 04:06 PM

I'm on somewhat of a budget I do like the idea of an s15 turbo. Can Anyone point me in the direction of a reasonable deal on one?

Hoffman5982 · 06-03-2011, 04:37 PM

that 675 shipped is the best i've seen for a brand new one

alexanderig · 06-03-2011, 05:23 PM

Why not just pick up the Isis turbo from enjuku? 500 dollars and pretty much a gt2871r. IMO better then the Isis t28 and cheaper and better then a used s15 t28
