Thread: rwd turbo on a fwd DE

Will a Garrett GT28R (t28) ballbearing turbo from an s15 work on a DE? cars on a t25 right now but wanting to do t28. so wondering if this one will work. thanks

the the s14/s15 t28 will work on a fwd car. you will need the awd manifold(u12,u13,w10,w11,gtir) and a different waste gate. you will also need a different waste gate bracket.

You may also need to clock the turbo as well in addition to the manifold and wastegate

i was hoping it would of just bolted up! just gonna have to go with the gtir turbo then

I'm running an s13 t25 on my b13 with an avenir manifold. I only had to clock the turbo housing.

yeah it works just fine. Reclocking the turbo is no big deal. Also have to enlarge one of the holes on the Jpipe as well. For a while I was running a GT28 with a T04B comp housing.

Out of all my previous turbo setups that one was probably my favorite one.
