I don't know about the first one but the TD06 is comparable to the HKS2835 which is a decent unit.[/quote:d2908a54a0]

Yeah, but doesn't the TD06 come in different sizes?do you know if it has an external wasgate?The details of the 180 with the trust turbo is as follows;TD06,HKS cams,HKS frontmount intercooler,550cc injectors,GTR fuel pump,Chipped computer,drift pipe.You think u could take a guess of what the HP would be? :?: :wink:

blitzpower, as far as I know the TD06 has 14 different models. Some come with an actuator and some without.

The 2835 has 26 different models with the A/R ranging from 0.64 to 1.12. There's a turbo there to suit nearly every application.

With the mods the 180 has you could have anything around (most likely over) 300hp at the whels. This is my guess though, so take it at will.

Details of the second 180 is as follows;HKSGT2530,HKS frontmount intercooler,550cc injectors,Z32afm,Apexi SAFC,HKS EVC IV.

So what do you think guys? which of the two cars would be the better buy and with the most HP? :?: :?

The prices for the 180s are 1.Trust-$20k

2.HKS-$22k

Which out of the 2 would have more low to midrange power(the cars haven't arrived from Japan so I really can't do a test drive just yet)

I'm looking for a "[b:1b907d14f0]sits you back in your seat[/b:1b907d14f0]" type of car.......u know,the rush thing :lol:

the hks car will build boost from a lower speed but the trust car you will be driving along happily and they the boost will hit and you will be flung back in your seat @ around 4k rpm may be more

Btw my r32 does this and its auto at 5k rpm on the dyno it jumps off :-)

ah such problems cant wait till the manual box and bigger turbo go in

make sure the body is good in the one you purchase.

    • @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.
    • Hi Sydney kid   do you still selling spring and blistein shocks for Nissan 260rs? Air any suspension upgrades? Please advice     yudy
    • Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.
    • @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.
    • @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc).
