Hey guys, Who here is using a S15 T28 BB turbo?? What numbers are you putting down?? (WHP, FT/LBS, 1/4 mile times) and what supporting mods (i.e: injectors) are you using?? Thanks, Fitzy ---

^^^ what bing said, buy new. You learn once to stay away from used BB’s. Either buy a new turbo or plan on rebuilding the t28 after a few months. Andrew. ---

search around on FA. most people dyno around 280 to 300 at the wheels with S15 turbo, Z32 maf, 550cc injectors, and enthalpy ecu at 15-16 psi. oh and you cant rebuild BB turbos. you can buy a new core but thats almost as much as a new turbo. anyway im going to be running a used S15 turbo so wish me luck. ---

I’ve heard of lots of people using used BB turbos without any probs. Just buy from a good source. ---

> [@Axlerod](#): > > I’ve heard of lot sof people using used BB turbos without any probs. Just buy from a good source. its hard to tell sometimes though Paul. Like mine was blowing oil like hell and it still has the same amount of shaft play side to side as it did when i got it. However it has back play now but still not all the much. Good source or not, when a turbo from japan has ‘x’ number of km’s who really knows how good it is. ---

haha - well my first recomendation is go to a dyno that can give you a graphed printout. Quincy and I went to the same place and I find it pretty suprising that our numbers are so different. ---

Herman @ Cherry Turbo’s can and will rebuild BB turbo’s… Just isnt cheap… (approx $500+ rebuild kit then $500+ labour) which is usually why people just get a Brand new unit. Herman was actually the only person I could find last year who was willing to rebuild one for me but because of the cost of it I quickly changed my mind… > [@Alex](#): > > [quote=AnDrEw][quote=Alex]search around on FA. most people dyno around 280 to 300 at the wheels with S15 turbo, Z32 maf, 550cc injectors, and enthalpy ecu at 15-16 psi. > > oh and you cant rebuild BB turbos. you can buy a new core but thats almost as much as a new turbo. anyway im going to be running a used S15 turbo so wish me luck. well my BB is getting rebuilt at the moment.
