Different turbo than expected

[Iceey]

Hey guys
I was pulling apart my turbo to fix a vacume leak on my actuator and I find not the standard td04 turbo you find usually but a A/R60 M42 1-2 ... Does anyone have any info about these turbos?

What supporting mods should I need ?

Did a quick google search and it appears to be a ball bearing t28?? Is it on a standard manifold? Because they have a different bolt pattern to our Mitsubishi manifolds.

 

[Iceey]

Yeah it's on a standard gsr manifold

 

[EVOCPE]

Post some pics up buddy

Could be one of those cast manifolds off eBay that suit a 93t and have a t25/28 flange???

 

[hendo]

2G DSM motors have a t25 with the mitsi style flange so maybe its a turbo that is used as a upgrade for them

 

[EV0300]

sounds very similar to a t28 bb that are on s14/15 might be a different rear housing?

 

[Iceey]

I'm on a iPhone -_- don't know how to post a pic

But there's a custome plate fabricated to fit the stock manifold.

Photobucket is your friend

 

[clone]

yeah thats t28 for sure.

[EV0300]

yep 100% t28

 

[VIN18M]

How's it go with the t28?

Have you got any pics of the adaptor to run the t28 on the standard manifold?

 

[Iceey]

Goes pretty good ... Can only run it 13-14pouds before it starts missing

It looks like they pretty much chopped the one from te tdo4 and welded it onto the t28

What supporting mods should I be looking for ?

Chipped ecu and injectors bigger than 510cc

 

[VIN18M]

Still probably wouldn't go much higher on the boost on a stock bottom end though.

 

[4piknup]

Cmon, its a 63 not a 93. Easy 500hp on std bottom end without breaking.

Oops, its a 93.....whoa there, dont bend them rods

If its a 93 with a bigger turbo, supporting mods, at the risk of repeating earlier posts, would be
- MAF (std mod is 609 or 055, but there are others, just depends on how much research you want to do),
- injectors (again std mod is 510cc EVO1, not sure how much bigger you would want to go on a 93 since you are limited on what power you can make until you do something about the bottom end),
- FMIC (if you haven't already got one),
- exhaust (2.5 to 3 inch seems to be the consensus)
- chip, ECM link is highly rated
- limit boost to 14 -15 psi if you want the motor to last, some forum memberes have gotton away with a lot more for extended periods but its a big gamble..

I'm no expert, this is all gleaned from the forum, but I think the info is pretty spot on as its seems to be working for me (with just a FMIC, ECM Lite & exhaust I've picked up 38 kw atw on a stock 93 and I haven't finished yet!)

 

[Iceey]

Thnx man heaps of good info

To my knowledge these are the current mods
3"dump
3" catback
It does have a front mount but I think it's stock
It has a adjustable wastegate actuator so I can dial in the boost
So all I'm missing is a chip,ECM ?

Get one burnt from meek.
I can socket your ecu (so a chip plugs in) and I have a evo 609 maf.

I would look at the evo4-9/3g maf. They dont need piping mods and outflow the evo/gsr maf. If you are going to meek ask if a later maf is ok.
Vr401 on here can burn chips too. Ask him.

Dont forget injectors. There is a link to some on ebay, in the ebay bit.
