Evo Turbo On Rb25det

[GR33 vous]

Want to upgrade my turbo on my 33 and looking for response rather than outright power, does anyone know if a tdo5 from an evo will bolt on with minimal fuss or is it just a waste of time and I'm better off looking for something else.

Cheers any help would be appreciated.

standard turbo with steel wheels FTW and for the response.

[Adriano]

Evo turbos really only fit evos, they spin the other way, and are a twin scroll split pulse, so wouldn't come close to fitting the manifold.

As above.

Also perfectly matched to a 2ltr, not a 2.5 6cyc

or get a tdo5 housing from trust to suit. but will be around 800 just for the housing. are they a td05h or just tdo5?

I'm assuming you DO want more top end power than the stock turbo??

because you wont beat the stock turbo for response.

other options like a highflow rb25 turbo (ie. GCG) might be the way to go, steel wheels etc. and similar response to stock...

but in short, Nissan lightened the stock turbo by using plastic/nylon and ceramic components. It means it wont last as long and cant take much boost (1 bar is enough to kill it very quickly) but if the car is left stock and not thrashed it would probably suit it just fine.

If you want more power than the stock turbo can give you, there will likely be some compromises and one of those will be slightly less response/more lag.

You can still keep turbo lag pretty close to stock however...just not exactly the same

Didn't think it would work. Will probably go for the hiflow option. Cheers for the feedback.

[SilverECR33]

as above, u can get aGCG highflow fore mininmal cost and fitment is cheaper and easier

[gts-4 dreamer]

gcg hiflow = ???? last time I checked it was 2k, il go take a look again.

[SMOKE'M]

y gcg an not garrett

i would go hi-flow (garrett)

[munro'sgts-t]

gcg is garret is it not? correct me if im wrong thats just what i thougth it was. but dnt for get slideingperformance on these forums he does highflows for like 1200ish i think.

garrett an gcg are to different companies,garrett does there hi-flow for about $2200,gcg does there's for about $1700,garrett has a lot better/stronger components in side there turbo,i did a little custom work for garrett in december,

HKS GT2530 for the win. Blistering response, I think it would be just the same as stock turbo if not better. But it does run out of air up top, I think from research it dies from ~-5500rpm, but that saves you having to go to redline all the time.

Just for an opinion, I just installed a GT-RS and running on just the HKS actuator I can't tell a difference between the stock turbo with tuned EBC and the GTRS in terms of lag.

So what is actually stronger? Because to me that sounds like a pretty incorrect statement

The GCG uses:

Garrett cartridge

Garrett wheels

Factory machined housings

The Garrett item uses

Garrett cartridge

Garrett wheels

Factory machined housings

So what parts are actually left that are different? None.

That to me suggests they are (component wise) the same thing.

Ignoring the actual spec of the turbos which is irrelevant when we talk strength of components.

^^ I think he is right

The TD05 is a bitch to fit, but for what its worth - its a fair bit better than the stock R33 turbo.

A mate of mine runs a TD05 16G from an EVO 3 on his RB20DET. It DOESN'T spin the "wrong" way, has a single pulse turbine housing, spools about the same on the RB20 as R33 turbos spool on RB20s - but flows an absolute crapload better up high. It hit ~200rwkw without trying too hard....

They run a much larger turbine wheel than R33 turbos, and a slightly bigger compressor wheel - I'd say they'd have to be easily comparable with an HKS GT2530 in terms of power and spool.

I was referring to evo4 on.

Oh sorry, missed that.... my bad

It should be the same as a GT2835 with the .48 A/R in terms of power if it's from an EVO 3

I got a Hi flowed tdo5 with a 18g compression wheel im looking at offloading and a mate of mine with a stagea is looking at buying it anyone know what we need to make it fit his car
