Hello everyone. my father-in-law and i have a 89 240 with a sr20det black top in it. our turbo just went and we need to upgrade. i was thinking of going with thge s15 turbo. i was wanting to know the pros and cons of this turbo.

Excellent turbo - good response and relatively cheap. Will be able to hit ~300hp with it depending on supporting mods and tune. Pretty much bolt on affair - there's an adapter that allows you to keep the t-25 piping. Phase 2 carries it.

and also what supporting mods i will need to support this turbo.

Bigger injectors,
Z32 MAF
FMIC
DP
The usual typical bolt ons. Proper tuning is the key.

i was also thinking of going with a e-manage ultimate(i have this for my suby tho not installed yet)

no idea, hear the ultimate version is pretty good. Search the forum, it's been reviewed before.

Also what does the stock s15 boost at and what is a safe boost for the sr20det blacktop to boost at.

Stock boost is ~8-9psi iirc. Most people boost from 12-14 with basic bolt ons.

Rocker arm stoppers and will probably need an upgrade on the Headgasket to be safe.

if disco potato, might as well go with the 2871.

s15 is good, fast response.

z32 maf for sure and you'll want to step up the cams. 256/256 is a good setup.

i boost 1.1bar on the s15 and its doing great (tuned for it of course)
