Actually both.:grinpimp:
The T25 was from a nissan bluebird, CA18DET.
Thanks, I may abandon the t25 and just keep looking for a HX30W or HE221W.
I'd ignore the HX30W for now, there are some interesting recent developments in the HE221 and TD04 turbo interchange.
Yeah I saw that post, I have found in the past that its very hard to mix and match parts on MHI turbo's. I am watching that thread though and hope something can be worked out, that HE221W looks like the perfect set up for a mild 4BD. I will have an auto so instant off idle boost is not necessary but I do not want to be waiting for it to kick off ether.
They have T28's with ceramic turbine wheels.
The one I have, that was allegedly off a skyline, has a steel turbine and aluminium compressor wheel. But, there is nothing to say it hasn't been swapped from ceramic at some point.
I have seen the Skyline turbos come with and with out, the R34 had BB turbos as well. I had ceramics on 1jz and was able to run 20psi on them for years no issues with the ceramics, issue was getting them rebuilt.
Hmm ok, I did look at the GT2560R recently and its got some good atributes plus I can get one for relitivly cheap. Not sure how BB's are doing on old diesel now a days. I worked with the parent company to PDR and all the testing with BB turbos did not prove to be reliable.
Yes that is looking like a good candidate. I should see what one will run new since I have yet to find one used. The "rebuilt in China" ones scare me off, I would much rather get a rebuildable core. Im also keeping an eye on the Hino GT2259 since it seems to fit fairly well and is easy to adapt as well. Have not looked at each to determin what one would be a better fit for the 4BD.
The turbo I have was journal bearing. Essentially just another T28. It was 60mm, 60 trim compressor and 53.8mm turbine with 0.64 A/R housing. I would rather have journal bearings than ball bearings in a turbo. Journal bearings put up with a lot more abuse and rebuild is far cheaper if they ever need it. I have a BB T28 here I got secondhand. Nothing on it was re-usable except the turbine housing.
Yes I too would rather stay away from BB turbos in this application. I did find a few 4HE1 turbo's in a quick search that looked ok so I may go that route, the Hino turbo seems a bit more scares. I would have less issue welding two T3 flanges to gether than making the custome one needed for the 4HE1 turbo but both are easy. I know forsure I need to replace the stock turbo on my 4BD1T, its like new but I know in my application it just will not work.
Yeah, I have read it and most other threads about fast spooling med power turbos all the way up to compund set-ups. I think I have it narrowed down to the Hino GT2259, 4HE1 GT2860 or the HE221W. Would really like a HE221W but they are very hard to find.
They are all very solid choices. Either of them will get you close to or able to use all the fuel a stock pump can deliver. With a good intercooler of course.
