hi

Just finished installing trust turbos (T618Z)and everything is fine as in car starts, idles at right rpm.....had to get my exhaust extended from the trust front n dump pipe to the second half of exhaust about 30cm. Anyways got it done today and after driving it...and giving it abit it didnt feel like the turbos werent kicking in. Any suggestions or theories on what i can check why it isnt?

1)Some have theories have come to thought i used electrical tape to fatten up the wastegate nib so i could use the original silicone lines to the solonoid (could that be the cause of my vacuum leak?), i did use cable tie it tho.

2)My pod filters are pushed right up against the body of car (Could this restrict the amount of air flow??)

The car feels like NA car without the turbos.?

Any comments would be appreciated.thanks

hmm, not boosting?

they are pretty big turbos. id expect some lag. they should kik in by say 5k if not then there may be a problem with either the wastgate actuators (not put on) or a problem with the turbos them selves.

does it run airflow meters? or a map sensor ecu. im sure its something simple. it usaly is ;)

yeah i took up too 8000...and yeah running z32 afm and AFC..with HKS EBC..and the turbos were near new..no shaft play etc..actuators are on..i unbolted the rear actuator one so i could get into some tight places to bolt on clamps but it has been bolted back on. i have tomei pon cams and adj cam gears.

Does the car revs??If the engine revs up to 3 grand then not rev anymore...then probably something to do with your force induction system which is the intercooler piping....

well it just my idea....have a try mate

Good luck

well im stumped. so weve got both actuators on, and holding tight.

if its got airflow meters, and runs fine but not boosting then its the turbos or a blocked exhaudt. thats all it could be. :) otherwise the car would run like shit under load if there was an air leak,

soo its on the exhaust side the problem ;)

i was thinking the same thing To4gtr ... that's why i said he should put a guage on it...

its behaving like a blocked cat

i just had the exhaust extended about 30cm from the trust front pipe and a new catco cat installed at same time, i do also have one of those butterfly valves installed as well but that didnt cause n issue with my other turbos.

what i did today was took everything off and made sure i tightened every clamp and used 2 cable ties for the vacuum hose on actuators...took it out for a drive tonite and it feels alot better than before but I thought it would pull alot harder with the bigger turbos?? i know i have to get it tuned again to get the fuel/air mixtures right, can feel the car start boosting at around 4k, the problem is it doesnt pull as hard?

would the cause also be if i got the 2 AFM looms mixed up?ie front loom is attached to rear turbo AFM n vice versa

You really need to SCREW boost into those turbos... 20psi+ to get the show to begin mate.

The 517's are bad enough, and you've chosen even bigger mumma's again :(

I suggest you get it tuned and said amounts of boost wound into it.

Then you should be on your way and it will feel better

the real problem is you ditched those beautiful HKS 2530s for some massive trust low mounts that are more suited to and RB30, or at least RB28 and even then best suited for drag. they will be laggy as hell on the street. :(

yep, as far as I know the 618s he went for are the biggest low mount you can fit on a pair of stock manifolds. well off the shelf anyway.

I think perhaps get a tune and then re-asses the problem. from what I remember you weren't too concerned with lag anyway, you were unhappy with the power made by the 2530s and wanted more. this should make more power, but will definately be a lot laggier.

yeah i think i may have solved the problem, the custom piping that was given to me wasnt the best fit n i had to wait for a bigger 3inch 45degree silicon coupler that arrived today, so i refitted everything again and too it for a drive and everything seems ok, it is laggier with boost kicking around 4k mark..have to get it tuned again.

Would getting it tuned again, as i got tomei cams/trust adjustable cam gears...would it bring boost on abit earlier with the 260 9.15mm lift cams? or would i need to go for larger cams?

I dont think you'll it any sooner mate regardless of what you do.

You have the biggest low-mounts on the market, and bush bearing to boot. Great top end they will have... low end and some mid range, they simply wont.

They will be nothing like the 2530's in terms of midrange/boost building.

bang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

piss off the buterfly valve.

i remember wrxhoon (i think) haveing the SAME PROBLEM with the t04r setup. it was shuting with the incresed power. they are a stupid idea.

and also if its on bakwards it will be blowing shut lol

100% thats the pronblem :D

Ask a tuner if the d-jetro power fc will give you responce quicker....I am sure this is what the ecu is designed for.You will have responce alot earlier.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
