hi everyone,

i'm about to buy a turbo for my datto ute
it has a 1500 engine, but i'm not sure about what turbo to use, any suggestions?
(someone said to use a garret t4 with a t3 rear??)
thanks

Try a t25 from a ca18det. Whoever told you that a t4 with t3 rear is a total fool and anything they say should be ignored when it comes to anything to do with cars.
The t25 will be cheap and easy to get as they are regularly removed from silvias to upgrade to larger turbos.
An a15 will have to use most of its rev range to get a t3/t4 turbo going and will be laggy as hell and a general pain in the ass to drive.

thanks for the reply mate

i'm glad i asked

Ahh your in Perth! Cool!

I have a T25 from a GTiR i may not need anymore... It has a bit of shaft play tho. Make me a offer! Whats the A15 in? If i go A series turbs ill go smaller

The GTiR turbo is a T28 with a larger 0.84 or 0.86 A/R exhaust housing? not really a good choice for a < 1800cc.

Thanks, but i might have to do a bit more research before buying anything, thanks for your reps guys

Yeh thats why im trying to offload it Cost me bugger all.

If it's in good condition many SR20 people would buy it for ~$500-$700.

i beg to differ the t28 would be a great turbo, i have the exact same turbo on my car off a gtir pulsar goes great, and dan the owner of the brown 1200 sedan in qld uses a gt30 makes a good 265hp out of an a12 he had a t28 before that. the t28 would be a great buy.

265 Hp from an A12? that thing must be built...
