First post on the forum ever, I've got a 02 Lancer ES, I'm not sure exactly what type of turbo it can handle. I've been doing some reading and was thinking about a T28, but for some reason when I ebay it up, it always says T25/T28, does that mean that it's both? or is it one of em, for Ex.

Would something like this be worth getting?

What's the difference between the T28 and the T3/T4?

What does it mean when a Turbo has Ballbearing?

Thanks

 

O yeah, one more thing... when a turbo says that it's made for a certain car, does it only fit in that car?

Ex.

A T-25 and T-28 are different turbo's. A T-28 will have more top-end but the spool won't be as quick. Both turbo's are decent for low-boost setups but it depends on what power range you want to go for.

Would something like this be worth getting?
First off, do you think you would be capable of piecing together a custom kit? The cost will most likely be under 2,000 for an inter-cooled and safely-monitored system, but it going to take some work to get everything together.


What's the difference between the T28 and the T3/T4?

The T-28 and a T3/T4 are just different types of turbo's. They have different flanges, and cannot use the same manifolds.

What does it mean when a Turbo has Ballbearing?
A ball bearing turbo uses ceramic ball bearings for the bearing that the compressor rotates on. The use of the ball bearings means lower-spool up and earlier boost. Basically, it spins easier. You don't need it, and for a low-boost setup you'll hit full boost fairly easily as well. For cost effectiveness, I wouldn't get it; but if you have a couple extra hundred to spend then go for it.

Good luck.

 

No, it just means that car manufacturer chose that turbo. A T-25 will fit a T-25 turbo manifold for any car. The Turbo-Manifold can only be for that car though, for obvious reasons. A Mustang header won't fit on a Civic. Any turbo can be used with Any manifold, it just has to be made to do so.

 

What is a hybird turbo?

Does a T3/T4 have a quicker spool speed or higher top-end spool than a t-25/T-28?

 

Can a t3/t4 fit into a 4G94 Motor?

 

What does it mean by a stage 3 wheel or stage 4 wheel?

 

would the stock evo turbo work????just curiuos?

 

You mean, can a 16g turbo fit into a lancer es? does anyone know...

 

yes?

 

Im going to be the first one to say stop!!!!!!

There are four threads at the beginning of the this turbo section that you need to read! Please do your research on the topic!! There are hundreds of posts that can help get you more familiar with the lancer.

***My advice to you is to do a little research. Turboing your car isnt a over night thing. After you've done a little bit of homework, most of us turbo guys wont have any problem helping you out. We just get tired of repeating ourselfs!!

 

actually turbo charging a car can be a overnight thing, my friends have done many audi's and volkswagens over night .and subarus."turbo guys"lol

 

OK you dont have to be a smarta$$. Plus when you dont know anything about a turbocharged car, i dont think its going to happen.

 

These are the kinds of questions that give a strong indication that you are not capable of making your own kit. My advice is to do some readings on the RRM turbo kit. There is at least one such kit available for sale in the for sale forums. Turboing a normally non-turboed car is not a simple thing, you have to either know exactly what you are doing (and have the money to correct anything that goes wrong) or admit that you know nothing and leave it up to the experts.

 

Very Well Put
