So, a deal came up that i couldn't refuse, and i've got a Garrett GT28RS sitting in the shed now.

It's a GT2860R with the Nissan S15 front housing, and i've got both the 0.64 and 0.86 rear housings - so i can start of smaller and the down th track get a littl more power if i get bored.



Just the turbo though (not the manifold pictured), as i've still got my old T3 manifold which i'm going to chuck a T2>T3 adapter onto, as i don't really want to hack off the flange and lose the HPC coating. Same with the dump - but that needs a 5 bolt flange to replace the T4 flange on there now.

The old manifold i'll reuse. Offset nicely to keep the air conditioning and still have a 3" dump pipe off the turbo.


So, looks like the engine itself will be coming out for some internal work soon, and the gearbox being changed too. Some big changes coming!

Once that's done, then paint
