Looking at fitting either of these turbos to my RB20. Any feedback from people who have experienced this engine/turbo combination 1sthand? I have been told I need a spacer plate for the Trust turbo but does anyone know if it will fit up to a split dump pipe? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Ive got a GCG hiflow on my RB20. although it's not tuned yet so im only running 10psi.

but even then it goes alot better then the standard turbo ever did on 12psi and pulls all the way to redline.

Less response of course but not as laggy as you would expect.

Here's a link that gives some idea of the different impeller sizes on the MHI/Trust turbos vs Garrett.

http://www.900aero.com/main/tech_main_turbo.htm

I think a lot of the MHI gear is fairly heavily turbine biased, so Trust use a bit of mix-n-match to chase quick response. Pity that they use the 3 bolt turbine inlet, because genuine MHI turbine housings in TD05 and TD06 are evidently a T3 flange.

The Td05/06 turbo is a excellent match for the RB20 imo. It does require a spacer plate about 10mm just so the comp cover clears the manifold. With supporting mods you will get around 240rwkw. Cant remember about the dump pipe but any decent exhaust shop would be able to make split entry dump for it. Havent had any experience with the gcg hi-flow though so dont know which is better. BTW it is a T3 flange.

I had a tdo6 20g on my rb20 (240kw@wheel) and hated it. Lag, then wheelspin snap. Nothing at all in first gear unless u wanted to thrash the poor girl to about 7500-8. Same turbo now on the 3 litre motor and much much better. Total power not much more (280) but good grunt at 3 instead of 4500 - 5.

I 'think' it's a 10cm, but not totally sure. It was very very snappy on the rb20 tho, real hard to control power in lower gears. Straight line not too bad but try driving fast on a windy road - just forget it - I'd get beaten by a 180kw car easy. What a difference a litre makes eh.

the t05 turbos are a direct bolt on for Rb20, they also come with a dump pipe that joins to any aftermarket front pipe.

the 16g is good for 200-220 at 1-1.2bar

the 18g is good for 220-250 at 1-1.2bar

have used both extensively, and are a great bolt on solution. the 16g is super responsive but runs out of puff up top if you want to make much more than 220rwkw without cams etc.. I find this turbo far to responsive and prefer to use the 18g.

^ mate i waited 3months for slide to high-flow my turbo. in the end i got my turbo back and went to GCG, same week got turbo and never looked back. do a search on slide turbo u will see alot of people are pissed off waiting.

What supporting mods are you running with your highflow? Aiming for 200rwkw's, I am hoping to get away with highflow, fuel pump, exhaust, cooler & remap. Want to leave injectors, FPR, AFM etc. stock at the moment due to money, or lack of. Do you think this would be achievable? Also what is lag like compared to stock?

hhmmm??? 'sif anyone would ever get pee'd f at Aaron, as nice a bloke as you'll ever meet.

I waited 12weeks for one last year (between Aug-Nov) and couldnt have been happier.

Slides overall health is of most importance; yes he does have a health issue and yes he does get very busy with the huge quantities of orders he receives for his hiflows. For the cost/quality of the unit I think its an awesome deal never mind if its a 3month turnaround.

If youd bothered to read his area of the forums, instead of stirring up crud:

"Hi Guys

Orders are now being taken for highflows again

We will not be doing the sort of numbers as we used to so when orders peek at 20 we will stop until all are done.

This is simply to reduce waiting times due to the amount of orders we receive.

The waiting times will always be stated at or longer then 3 weeks regardless of if it will be done in 2 days.

This will be to avoid any possible delays that may push back production including my personal health."

Slide highflow FTW !!11!!!!!

^ any experience with a td06 19c?

nah as it isnt part of the performance range, i think it was more a mitsubishi factory repalcement part, rated @330hp. Ralliart starions and pajeros.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
