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.

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!!!!!

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
