im going to assume you are putting the t28 in a s13 sr20. you are going to need steel lines and you might as well replace all your gaskets. make sure you have a t28 oil return tube and gasket. you'll also need the correct inlet and outlet from the t28. or just buy the reclock kit to re use your og inlet/outel. as far as changing injectors... if you are aiming for big boost, id recommend getting bigger injectors and maf and aftermaket ecu. but to safely run that turbo on stock boost, you dont need to change all that stuff out. many have done this and have even turned up the boost on stock injectors and maf. ive seen people hit up to 0.9 on their stock motor but just keep doing RESEARCH on what exactly you want to do with the car and things needed to run your car safely

that person is an idiot
adapter flange to clock the turbo and more reading is all you need

Slot out one of the holes on your elbow, cut and reweld your compressor inlet/outlet since they will be pointed the wrong way and done. Or like stated, get the reclocking kit. The S13 inlet will be pointed to the ground and the compressor outlet will be cocked at a 45 degree angle instead of it being straight up to line up to your hot pipe.

Why would you blow it up if you're not bumping up the boost? Now if you decide to run 14 psi right off the bat, then you need to figure out how to add more fuel into the mix. Rom tune or SAFC can do that.

the guy from the shop xo2 racing told me that thats why i was asking but thats why i was having second thoughts because i seen a lot of people with t28 without adding more fuel things thanks to all of you being helpful i really appreciate it and for those being asswholes learn that only because you know something doesnt mean you know everything you might need help someday

no need to reclock.
get a s14 turbo inlet pipe
use the s13 outlet on compressor side and just cut your hot pipe back about 4 inches and it will be fine no need to spend $100 on reclock scams.

also I ran 12 psi on s15 spec r turbo on oem inj and tune was fine and decent. I run 13 psi now with 555cc inj and same shit as 12. I can run 20 psi but no need for what im doing.

also the oil outlet aka drain dont need to be s14 be nice if you have it but you can mod the s13 drain to work drill out bolt holes and hammer the pipe a lil to line up.

make sure you get a oil restrcitor and thats it.
alot of info is not true on this fucking interweb we weave...
best bet is to dig in and make shit happen...

You don't need the oil restricting fitting if it doesn't have ball bearings (which you said it wasn't).

it's a matter of convience
I agree $100 for those is pricey, but how is it a scam?
piece works and makes for a clean install
s14 inlet pipes aren't free and you have to source one out
and hacking your piping is pretty lame imo


also I ran 12 psi on s15 spec r turbo on oem inj and tune was fine and decent. I run 13 psi now with 555cc inj and same shit as 12. I can run 20 psi but no need for what im doing.

do you mean pounds by any chance?
if so 12 pounds will work fine with a stock set up for the most part
you'd get heat soak on warm summer days
20 pounds on a stock set up? bs, I'd like to see that.

stock sr turbos don't need an additional restrictor

i though t28 were bb turbos no?

no, S14s aren't

xo2 said that?? ha ha ha like so many others on here including myself have turned up the boost a bit on a stock setup with no problems. to make thing easier, just make sure you have everything that goes with t28 and minor modifications and you should be fine. and yes, you can run it safely on stock boost without any problems. if anything else, pm me and i can help you some more...
