quit trying to address the flaming, it will only make it worse. all noobs get the same treatment

the t25 will be tough to hit your goal. you are most likely going to have to spin the ---- out of it to get that much power, plus it falls off up top. if its in good condition, sell it and pick up a t3. it will be much easier to hit your goal with that, and it will carry power through redline

Yeah, 50$ is pretty cheap for a GT25.. I'm going to pay ~150$ for a GT25R from a Mercedes Sprinter 2,8L (dont know if you have some of them "over-there"..)

But if he got a GT25 it should'ent be a problem for 200 hp? But i know how you like the T3's..

if i'm shooting for 200 hp, why not just use the GT25 that i already have?

i'm really sorry i can't afford nicer things just to gain your approval.


with the gt25 i plan on using dsm 450's.. including an FMIC, what PSI should i expect to boost at to reach my whp goals ? how much whp is my stock fuel pump good for ?
my t3 cost $25 and yes it is very sexy

i heard the stock pump holds up to 300hp give or take, but im sure it depends.

just link us to that 50$ ebay gt25.
Who would buy a 1000$ turbo and sell it for 50$ when it's still in good usable condition??

i could almost bet you got the t28 bb fromt he skyline GTR...... if so, yes, it's good for 200 HPand more! But in real life, they're not repairable and all the ones on ebay are in need of a rebuild so, you guessed it, worth nothing at all.

so even if it is a gt25 in need of a rebuild, or just a plain dsm t25, its still not worth $55?

if it'S a ball bearing turbo, it can't be rebuilt.
if it's a journal bearing turbo and the impellers are not chewed up, yes, it's worth 50$ since you just have it rebuilt and it will be like new again. Make sure you are not trying to make more power than it's able to however.
