is fitting the t28 to the silvia easy, same as a t25 for eg?

who has done this to thiers and how well does it work, whats it like?

yes its easy. It bolts straight on. use the t28 s14 downpipe and a braided oil line. you will have to then make up adapter flanges to bolt to the turbo's compressor housing to allow your intake and intercooler pipework to fit. Once you have actually bought a t28 you will see for yourself how easy it is.

A hybrid t28 or t25 is probably the best turbo you could go for on a ca18et

remember to budget for new piston rings,bore honing,new bigend bearings. head gasket,head bolts,sump gasket and anything else which could need replacing after inspection.

Have you actually paid Brad for the car yet?

thats between me and brad, he told me he hasnt got an adress for me to send the money to. so untill that gets sorted, head is already off as head gasket went, head being skimmed. cam belt, new bearings, new rings, sump gasket, rocker cover gasket. t28 turbo, front mount being piped up before she comes on the road. am hoping for about 200+bhp at 1bar

Ok mate. im just trying to look after a friend of mine. What front mount intercooler have you got to go in? are you going to getting rid of the mechanical radiator cooling fan too?

Do you not thing the car came on along way in the few months that it was down this way? It was far from finished but it saved you alot of panelwork etc. It must of been like a different car when you got it back
