s14 sr20det Kouki turbo question.

[marcus8789]

I've searched and searched all through the forums/web and some people say the s14 sr20det kouki uses a ball bearing turbo, and some people say it doesnt. Ive searched the factory service manual, and I didn't see anything in there clarifying if the turbo was a ball bearing or not. My buddy and I keep going back and fourth about this...I just wanna know, I say it does, he says it doesn't....who's rite?

thanks for the help....

Is this correct? It says that the s14 has a ball bearing turbo....?

All JDM S14 SR uses BB T28 turbos... S15 however is a Dual BB turbo while the S14 and S15 auto uses the Single BB Chra. Significant difference?? Not really IMO... However AUS spec S14 does come with Journal T28 turbos which we hardly see around in the US. The common Journal T28 turbo available is the GTI-R T28 from the Pulsar.
