gt28r

[watisjdm]

does anyone know if i can upgrade the compressor wheel or whatever u call it to a GT28RS wheel i have heard that u can and it will put out more power ...anyone kno???

Personally I would just turbo your stock motor with the gt28r and then build the motor and put a bigger turbo on it later. That turbo will max out a stock d-series.

i believe atpturbo.com has an upgrade kit for the gt28, but im pretty sure it was only like 200 bucks cheaper than buying a whole new turbo.

 

[Phantom Civic]

But even a gt28rs would be maxing out at 300whp on a d.

ok well wat size turbo should i upgrade to????....gt35 or waT?

 

[Phantom Civic]

If you have the money to keep buying BB turbos I would say gt30.

Gt45

lol k24.....you'd be hard pressed to spool a gt45 on any 4 cylinder.

 

[Phantom Civic]

Yea really. Cramming it in the bay would be hard to, lol.

hey rob, i say keep what you have now, you will already be making enough power with that gt28, its pretty big haha

 

[BuiltforSin]

300whp is plenty for a FWD civic. you can only go so far until you start hitting traction problems and cant even put down the power.

gt2871r w/ the .64 ar turbine housing

you could actually rebuild your gt2860r to this, too!

Actually is not big at all but plenty for a stock d-series.

im prolly gonna run the turbo for 200 or 300 miles on stock engine and while doin that ill save for internals and build the mess outta it prolly upgrade turbo soo yeah

So you gonna tune it, take motor out, build, buy new turbo, retune all for 300miles?

 

[watisjdm]

idk wat im doin yet mite just go and build it 1st i just wanna feel the pleasure of boost and SOON hahaha

 

[jdm98coupe]

well for what im about to get, a gt28 is plenty big haha but im gettin a little one just to mess around on. but o well.

Robbie, slow down, lol. Boost on that stock motor will be fine for a while. I had plenty fun with mine. Nobody could keep up (remember I live in a small town). You need to learn to drive a 200whp car before you go for crazy power, believe me. Build one on the side.

Oh and if you're interested I got A LOT of spare parts for a d-series. Bare short block, dx tranny, complete y8 swap, etc.

Pm me if you're interested.
