Any Recommendations for Turbo on the SE manifold

[alexpav]

Hey all,

I'm finding it hard to figure out what turbo's are compatible with the SE manifold.

I can get my hand on a brand new garrett t25 ballbearing but haven't yet found out if they hve an option that bolts straight up.

Currently I have a Skyline (front housing)/200sx(rear housing) and ive got another T28Ballbearing. I do have an adapter so could use eithe of these but would rather use a brand newy if possible.

Any suggestions? Will Garrett have a turbo to suit?

Cheers

Nothing particularly common or modern which is why I made this beast.



This is exactly stock SE but tubular and fits T2x turbos, in this case a ball bearing T28.

The other option is welding a flange to the stock manifold, however you want to use a 25mm thick plate with the correct bolt pattern and 'port' it to transition the 2 port shapes.

Or send me 1200 dollars

Im kidding.

It doesnt cost 1200..

haha looks great, but I want a stock look with the heat shield!

Isn't welding to the cast a bad idea? Doesn't the heat weaken it and prepare it to crack in the future?

[NitroDann]

Highly experienced welders -not me- using the correct filler rods can successfully weld to cast materials.

I suggest a mild steel log manifold with a T2x or EFR flange.
You will be able to use the stock heat shield too.

Any particular manifold you suggest?

Are there turbos that mount to this stock SE manifold?

[NitroDann]

There are turbos that fit.
Im no expert on those turbos at all, however a bigger version will spool even worse.

Im recieved a deposit for a BP log for T25 and V Band downpipe from a forum member just half an hour ago. If you are interested I can do both at once. PM me.
Now I regret my 1200 dollars joke..

PM'd

Anyone else have turbo options/suggestions?

Have you looked into the BNR turbos? A mate of mine has a TD05-16G compressor somehow mated to the SE exhaust housing and it goes like a cut snake!!
