how to buy garret t25 turbo for s13 200sx (1800 turbo) online

[wes323]

hi, i write from italy. sorry for my english

I have bought one s13 nissan, known in italy with the name "200sx" but in japan the real name would seem to be "180sx"

the turbo of the engine is broken, but in italy the car seller wants 1200$ for a new turbo to buy by nissan italy!!!!

so, where can i buy online the same turbo (or one better ) of 500$ max, in usa?

thanks a lot!

You would probably be best off with a Ball Bearing T28 off of an S15 they usually sell for 800$ (US) brand new, but if your willing to risk Ebay.com you could probably get one for less.

Why dont you try to buy a local Used one?

Id sell you my T25 but i dont know what condition its in... and im a lazy ass.

the real problem is to find the turbo for the CA18DET
the turbos i've find are all for the SR20DET
i'm not an expert of engines, probably the turbos are the same for all models of car... or not?

The SR and CA use the same Flange/Turbo the only difference is that the SR T25 is slightly larger .48-.49 vs .64-.60

cool... the turbo manifold is the same, true?

[R.W.240]

The way it bolts to the head is different but the turbo side is the exact same as the SR's

HPI magazine did the SR T25 on a CA18 and it came up just short of 200rwkw.

so i can replace the t25 with the t28 without to buy other parts?

The T28 uses different Oil and water fittings than the T25 but everything else fits.

phase2motortrend.com sells converted oil feed lines. (for the SR anyways)
