Default t28 on 350z???

i have a t28 turbo does anyone have a idea if this will even work out? im only planning to boost it up to 5PSI max but i don't know if the turbo can take all 6 cylinder of the vq35, i meant i know 5psi is not much but the t28 is to small for the displacement of the engine and i know the t28 is capable of 10psi at a safe range for the turbo and i also know the vq35 can only handle 7psi on the safe side.
i did a search but i haven't seen any 350z with a t28 build, oh by the way its going to be a rear mount build and my buddy is going to do all the piping for me, also do you think its going to be better if we only put 3 exhaust manifold going to the turbo or all 6 manifold will be also safe for the 5psi.

summary:
1st question will the Nissan OEM t28 work in the 350z not sure if this come from sr20 or rb20det
2nd i need a good advice to make this happen

I think it will be too small. its not only about psi but CFM. most kits will utilize 2x GT28's such as jwt 700BB kit, etc. so though it may work at 5psi you may only gain like 60hp or something. Also would require a custom kit and probably is not worth the trouble and money.

A T3 turbo is on the small side for this engine, let alone a T28.

it will work just fine. Prolly run it up to 17-18psi.

Take a look at stock turbos on any car, they are super tiny. The Gtr has a pair of 46mm turbos.

But is it not worth it? He can pick up a new BWS366 for ~$800.


I would love to see a GT35 HTA on a built VQ.

he didnt ask if its worth it, he just asked if it will work. Free labor and some fab skills, maybe it doesnt cost him a dime...

60HP sounds good to me I am not really looking for a lot of power but since I already got a t28 if I am not mistaken and a intercooler plus my piping its almost ganna be free I don't see why not just install it in my z.
I also understand that I have to take it in a uprev tuner and im in a tennesse so z1 motor sports of dynasty might be a good idea.

it looks like an OEM t28 from an RB20det. an oem t28 is especially not worth it. youd be spending all that time and money to install a limited capability turbo worth like $150. unless you have a shop and can custom fab your own piping expect to pay a lot to custom the exhaust piping for such a kit which isnt worth it.

Would need a big external wastegate otherwise massive boost creep will happen with that small and restrictive turbine wheel.
