Jet33

The turbo is a Garrett T28, It has a ceramic wheel, non ball bearing, I wouldnt push boost past 12psi on everyday driving, but it can handle 15psi with cold air temps outside, but only every so often, not advisable to run 15psi hard consistently

Hope I helped u out mate

Are you sure those figures are right. My r33 got 232 rwhp @ 6500 with just a cat back, pod and remapped ecu & 10psi.

I think the R33 turbo's are T3 flange with T28 internals or something wierd like that.

Yepp, a T3/T4 will bolt onto the factory T3 flange inlet manifold, but I think you need to make up a new dump pipe.

And as stated before, boosting above 12-14psi may have you looking in your cat converter for part of your turbo !!

my gtst had a ihi turbo, ceramic with steel bearings, couldnt run much boost withit it, about 9psi. t28

took it of and took it 2 garret and they turned it into a t3/t4, now i run about 10/11psi and the car screams, i need to put a cooler on if i want 2 run more boost,

also it feels like the car doesnt strain as much as it did b4

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
