What year is the 180?

T28 is the go. Even if it doesnt fit straight on, they're awsome on SRs.

I think its 1994 quite a nice car hes only had it for a week and theres oil coming out of the turbo pipe into the cooler etc and his coolant is a little milky green so ? its not looking that good

T28 is pretty generic, slike saying you want some size 11 sneakers.

Trust T517 10cm pretty special, Apexi RX6 is hot too i hear

If you persist looking on SAU for NS.com info, at least try and borrow the ear of users STR8E180 and URAS on the topic.

as for the 180.

what is the goal.

if he wants the same response he has now with the ability to make about 200rwkw, get a turbo off an S15.

yes it's a T28.

it bolts straight on.

while you're at it, get the injectors from the S15 too.

once he has more cash, he is a fuel pump, PFC, EBC, Z32 AFM and tune away from 200rwkw

in a 1200kg body should be fun with no extra lag compared to stock.

those turbo's can be had for about $400

there are 2 types. ball bearing and non ball bearing.

and both come on aus and jap spec S15's

it's all very random.

the only way to tell without pulling it apart is from the part number stamped on the body of the turbo.

both can get to 200kw region.

ball bearing would be better obviously but apart from a little more response, you won't be missing out on much.

more power after that is much more dinero

      Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.

      Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
