So i just put a high mounted t28 with an 38mm external gate on my s15 . . cars got a standard ecu and tune and just got basic mods like a fmic, pod and twin plate clutch. . .

the problems i got are (1) took the car for a drive and there's a small amount of o. . . il blowing through the pod filter (about 2 cap fulls) . . I havt got a catch can hooked up. . was wondering if a catch can would stop this???

(2) the cars fueling up big time when on boost (running 15 Psi). . . but the problem is cars idling fine when u start it and sit there. its when u take it for a drive n stop it will shit itself and stall. . . all the intercooler n vacuum lines n afm are all in fine. . anyone know if a simple tune will fix this??? . .

any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

What do you mean by a highmount T28?

T28 is the stock turbo off a S14 and S15, you dont need to highmount these. Doing so will gain you 0rwkw and maybe even lose you response.

What brand is this 'highmount T28' ?? Is this an ebay special kit? Maybe the oil is coming from the turbo's super special seals?

    • Hi all. So I have my GTR on the lift and have been working on it a few days and yesterday I unpacked the frontpipe that was wrapped with heat wrap stuff, because part of it was breaking down and soaked in oil. Noticed that the pipe itself does not actually look like a Mines, despite it supposedly being a Mines. But I could not find any fronpipe online that looks exacly like his, and I don't think it is a custom one. My amateur measurement also showed the two pipes are about equal length, so maybe this is just an old version of the Mines pipe? Would appreciate insight on this by the enlightened folks. greetings from Germany
    • Yeah. If I plug the connector in and connect the vacuum lines, I assume worse case scenario is that it simply doesn't work? Yep PFC.
    • I would think that rather than attempting to perform an engine swap, with all the difficulties associated with doing so in a country where the raw materials required are harder to get hold of, I would just build the CA20 for boost, find an EFI manifold for it and either add a turbo or a supercharger. Or both. You replace one set of difficulties with a different set, but I know which would be more fun.
    • Well, a proper aftermarket ECU** SHOULD be set up to run the purge solenoid, same as the factory ECU would, so that the tank breather system continues to operate the way it is supposed to. I have no knowledge of whether the PFC (which is what I assume you mean when you say Apexi) has an output (and internal logic) to run the purge solenoid. If it does not, then given the product design intent for the PFC, which is to be a plug in replacement for the stock ECU, I would consider that a massive failing on Apexi's behalf and would be another reason to think that they were a half-arsed solution to the problem if programmable management on RBs. I would suggest that since Nistune came to market (which is a LOOOOONG time ago now) there has been no valid argument for choosing a PFC, especially if the PFC can't do things like this.   **ie, Haltach, Link, Motec, etc
    • Thanks for asking the question we were all thinking!
