Stock SR with t28 non BB. (Yes, I've searched)

[SlmdCpe]

Ive done some research and haven't been able to come up with a definite answer on my questions. Please any help is appreciated ..

Motor: 180sx Blacktop SR, stock radiator flex-a-lite fans, Nismo 555cc Injectors, Walbro 255.
Electronics: Greddy Boost controller, Turbo timer, Boost gauge.

My questions is the following, I've been looking to upgrade to a t28 for awhile now and I went to a local shop.

He found me a T28 non BB with a Tomei manifold for $450.

Will I be able to run 15lbs daily without messing up the motor? The car is daily driven and raced often. What do you guys think..

Just make sure that its a legit turbo, not a ebay knock off. Also there's Tomei knockoff manifolds too.

Just a heads up.

Yeah my mechanic has inspected everything.

No shaft play or anything.

T28 Non BB...Nope. Not 15 lbs. If your turning up your boost make sure you have supporting mods. Injectors, Fuel Pump, FP Regulator. Otherwise kiss your motor goodbye. Even if you get that turbo up to 15lbs, doesnt mean its efficient at that level.

I have 555cc's, Walbro 255.

I dont have a FPR though.

Oh yeah I guess I skipped that part. Well you should be ok. Will need a tune. Im running 550's on stock ecu and my car runs like crap. Waiting on my Power FC. I have a T28 BB and Im only gonna push 14.50 or 1 Bar, but will be tuned.

Yeah I figured I'd need a tune after going up there. When I got my car it was running on 15lbs on a t25.. I turned it down to 8 though.

Thanks for the help so far everyone.

I would do some research on that turbo first, make sure it's not some knock off turbo made by Bubba in a shack somewhere.

And depending on what type of T28 it is, you maybe able to run up to 20psi with it.

you'll be fine with a tune and you won't need a fpr.

Alright, Thank you everyone.
