Are you saying it won't fit, or its not long enough? The only difference would be if you were fitting a non-BB T28 in place of a T28BB...

If the plate on the turbo says 14411-75F00, then its a non-BB turbo. A replacement pipe can be got from Nissan. Same as the S14. Don't expect they'll have it in stock though...

I'd say its almost definitely a different turbo. You will need to get that part number verified, as that will make the difference between waiting a couple of days or waiting a couple of weeks. I seriously doubt Nissan will have an S14 oil outlet and gasket in stock.

What? The oil outlet pipe? That's it. If you confirm which turbo it is, I can give you the part number for the pipe.

have you checked that the outlet pipe flange doesnt need the bolt holes filing, I've had to do this fitting aftermarket turbos to 4-5 cars, the holes dont line up and are half a hole out. if this is the case you just file hole out, and make new gasket to suit, should only take 5 mins. hope that helps

As I've said, the oil outlets are slightly different between the two different S15 turbos.

Just for reference, the hard part section and gasket costs ?14.35 plus shipping from Japan.
