t2 t25 turbos
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi, i have moved to canada and its easier and cheaper for me to buy a T25 from a 200sx than a t2 R5 gt. Is the T25 a bigger turbo ie more lag and tighter in the engine bay?. Ill be fitting mirage manifolds to save myself cutting the fire wall. Its only a 998 so dont want the revs to be real high when the turbo kicks in.

Thanks

Im planning on using this same turbo - I've heard that it spools up as fast as a t2

It's very big for a 998. Lots of lag I think.

im not sure as mirage said to look for a t25 off a 200sx or a T2 off a late R5. I think the T2 maybe better suited from what ive read. Anyone got a t25 fitted to their mini?

Yep, but it's not quite the same spec as a 200sx one, and mine is a 1293 and aiming for an abundance of power. For a 998 you need to think very small. Something off a small diesel maybe. A 200sx is a 200hp car, and the turbo will flow more than that, it's a total overkill for a 998, it will be lag, lag lag lag lag start to spool, change gear. Even the T2 off an R5 is a bit big, but you could probably get away with it.

t25 off a 200sx is miles bigger than a R5 T2. T25 froma rover coupe turbo is a bit smaller in the turbine but stil loads bigger than a t2.

the only 200sx to come with a T25 from memory was the CA18DET engined cars, all the SR20'd cars had even bigger turbos still. i recon a rover coupe T25 may *may* just spool in a usefull fashion on a 998. but it would be out spooled and out flowed by a GT17.

I have a turbo built around T25, when fitted to the mirage it didn't clear the block, even after a fair bit removed compressor housing and block. I am now using a r5 housing and have minimal clearance. I've had the hosing bored to accept the larger t28 wheel. Still not used it so, don't know if it will work. Think gt17 will be on the cards
