Big T-28 ?

MachV sells a Big T-28 Turbo.....and i was reading around about it but i didnt get to much from that so i was woundering if any one knows anything about this turbo?? and how it would compare to the Evo3 16G ??

A lot of companies sell the T28, and FP has sold the most common Big28. Considering that the 16g is cheaper, but you need install parts.. it's a toss up between the two. The FP Big28 is supposed to flow 37lbs/min. For around the same price, the EVO 3 16g is flowing more, up past 40lbs/min in some cases. I'd recommend 16g, as would a few others.

so the T-28 is a great turbo?......then it wouldnt be a bad choice if i did decide to go with it ?.....ive read is rated upto like 375 Hp ??? isnt that about what the Evo3 would get me ?

Like Joe said, the evo 16g flows more, and that means potential for more horsepower. The t-28 is a popular upgrade for a "sleeper" car because it looks similar to the t-25. There aren't many reasons to choose a 28 over a 16g.

The evo has a higher potential hp and is cheaper.

Also I feel the 16G will last longer. The T28 has a smaller shaft and a bigger wheel so it can brake.

is that true ?? if so ill definetly look into the 16g

Ok i found a guy who will sell me the Evo3 16g and the Mani, O2 housing and the 510 injectors......whats a good price to offer him for these.....and he says the turbo has about 10k on it.

How does the Turbo look from the Pic ?? he said theirs no shaft play and no smokeing.....said its all in awsome shape. im suposed to make him an offer but i havnt been in this hobby very long so i dont really know what i should offer. any help on a price i should throw at him would be dandy and also at what price should i stop ( whats to high for all this ).

I have never heard of 510cc injectors. Might want to ask about that. Why is he selling the manifold and O2 housing? Are they ported, or just the stock ones?

From what I can see in the picture, the turbo looks OK. I would check the shaft play myself.

510s come on some JdM yO motors.

I will also recomend the EVO3 16g over the T28. The only time I would recomend the T28 is if you are racing in a specific class that requires a stock looking turbo (common in autox). Ask any of the T28 owners that upgraded to a 16g to tell you why they switched.

i just noticed something in that picture......wheres the piece that usualy sticks out on the side of the Turbo that controls the waste gate ?? is it the Waste gate actuator?.....anywyas is that missing ?? does it look all their ?

no the Mani and O2 are not ported i just wanted to get them ported if i buy them. but how much money should i offer him for all this ??

The WG actuator is there, you just cant see it. It would help if the picture wasnt 5 miles away. Also make sure it comes with a J pipe. Depending on how nice everything is it could be worth between $5-600. Your money, your offer.

should i also make sure to get all the bolts for everything ? or will my 2g bolts work?

dont hurt me for asking but what is a J-pipe and why do i need it ??.....also im woundering if ill need to buy a 16g install kit if i buy these parts off this guy?

J pipe is the lower intercooler piping. Goes from the compressor outlet to the stock sidemount intercooler. The stock pipe does not fit. It is part of the '16g install kit'

thanks alot for your guys info....ill keep you posted if anything new pops up so that away i can get your opinions before i screw my self out of alota money lol. thanks

how much do 16gs usually go for?
(sorry i thought id ask in here while it was on topic

So for a 2500 mile Evo3 + Ported Evo mani + Ported Evo o2 600-650$ is a good deal then right?

Yes, is the turbo ported?

Sounds like a good deal to me. You don't absolutely need the Evo3 manifold and o2 housing if you're on a budget, but they are good parts. I'd rather see the turbo, SAFC and pocketlogger with palm for that price, but you can spend more money on those items later.

I wouldn't worry too much if the turbo is ported--I don't think it's that big of a deal either way. ShapeGSX runs an unported EvoIII in his 2g awd into the 11s.

thats awsome.....my goal is the low 13's the high 12's right nowi dotn want to put the parts on my car rigth away i wana store them until i have all thep parts needed to run and tune it.

so far these are the two adds im lookin at.

2500 miles on Evo3 ( cliped + ported ) + Ported mani + ported o2

10k Miles on Evo3 + Mani + o2 + 510 Injectors ( no porting )

i have a question though......i know some people that say that its not really good to clip the 16G's.

why would they say that i havnt asked them yet..anyone know ??

Well I did a 14.006 1/4 and that was on a B14. But i do have head work, clutch, flywheel, 6bolt, no cat, 3' back and one thing i really thinks make all the diff, the KYB in the back. You put them to 8 and the back don't move at all. It's good for front wheel drive.

14B please, unless you were refering to some type of 1.4 liter honda. :icon16:
