first off, I am putting on a .60/.80 turbo on my stock B18B, I first though it was a wierdly flanged T3, but stealthmode has put forth evidence claiming it to be a GT28 without the BB's. Anyways, is the .80 exhuast housing going to make for a sickly high spool up? Has anybody run a large exhaust housing like that on a stock B18 LS before? I will be fien with a hotrex style power band, I dont mind staying out of boost around town.

 

youll be fine. leed used to win the lopsided powerband contenst. but id say in running up there for worlds least amount of low/midrange power. hahaha

 

Wouldn't it be a T28 if it didn't have BB (GT series are all BB turbos) but eitherway if it is like th nissan turbo I have which is a T25 with a T3 flange and like.83 exhause housing it has a tinny turbine wheel so i'd think it would spool ok on a B18...is the centere section look like a T3 or T25? and what motor did it come off of...I think you said it was from a Volvo or saab and if it was a stock 6 cyl then it should be good since all factory turbos are too small for the motors they came on, we'll see how it works but i think you'll be fine

 

i have his turbo in mu garage, looks like some sort of turbo off a smaller 4cyl deisel.

it can be a gt28 and not have ball bearings btw.

 

Word. Is the turbo sexy in the slightest? I had no idea what exactly it was, but I will take stealthmodes word for it. He knows his ---- much more then I do. 3 years ago I couldnt tell you what a turbo was. :1

 

i got limpdick when i opened the box. nothing shirt of dual ball bearing does it for me anylonger

 

how easy we get spoiled
