HI folks,

As i'll be looking for a turbo (streetable although with ability to produce ~250rwkw) for my Sierra Cosworth, i was just wondering if anyone has done a comparison (practical/theoretical) between any of the Trust T67 and the equivalent HKS GTxx turbos?

i know that the HKS turbos have the advantage of the ball-bearing cartiridges and the 'new' design wheels/housings, although, not many people talk about the trust range of turbos even though most of the big hp GTRs and Supras in Japan run single Trust turbos.

Does anyone know the actual hp the T67 can support?

anyway, thanks in advance for your help.

cheers, RS500.

Thanks for that Merli.

The reason i ask is that i was thinking of going for the Trust T67-25G (8cm exhaust housing) on my 2L and was wondering if it will be streetable and at the same time be able to produce reasonable and streetable hp.

Streetable is a very subjective term... Some people love cars that don't spool up until 5000rpm, others want as much low down grunt as possible so they can be heros at the traffic light grand prixs...

I've got an HKS GT3040 on a 2.5L, and it's got a ball bearing core.. It makes 1 bar by just under 4000rpm...

The T67 is slightly larger (albeit with the small 8cm2 housing you want), it's non-ball bearing, and you're running it on a 2L... I can forsee it to be quite laggy...

BTW, if you only wanted 250kw @ wheels, you don't need to go anywhere NEAR as big as the T67... That will put out approximately 350kw @ wheels...

Look for a 400-450hp rated turbo...

For comparison's sake, my HKS GT3040 is rated to about 500hp.

It makes 280rwkw @ 1.2 bar, and is rated upto 1.8 bar (should be around 320-330rwkw)

The Trust T67 is rated at 550hp, so it would make around 350rwkw like I said before...

I used to run my HKS GT3037S turbo on a 2L and I can tell you that it is quite laggy. Not much boost was made until after 3500rpm. The turbo is quite "smallish" in that it has a 0.6A/R compressor housing and a small 0.73A/R exhaust housing. Which is on the smaller scale of the GT3037S turbos. They can go over 1.0 A/R for the exhaust housing. The power was good though, making 206kW@four wheels at 1.2bar. This was on my EVO4. For street use, I wouldn't go any larger than the GT3037S.

Remember that the TRUST turbos are normal bearing and so will have more lag than the equivalent HKS turbo. I think the GT3240 is the largest BB turbo HKS makes? The larger turbos are all normal bearing like the TRUST ones.

Hehe...no, that is when the car started boosting. I might not be accurate, but boost probably came on a little earlier than 3500rpm. You could probably hit 1bar boost around 4000rpm, maybe just after.

No internal mods were done to the engine. But if you had the $$$, you could buy longer duration and higher lift cams and cam gears and that would make the car make boost a little earlier. Really, if you want the best out of a big turbo you should run highish boost. Although HKS and Garrett turbos are similar, it's been stated that Garrett turbos are more efficient at lower boost (under 1bar), whereas HKS turbos are most efficient at high boost (1.5bar). So it's best doing internals when making the most out of an HKS (or any other large) turbo.

This used to be true up till about a year or two ago when HKS released an updated T51R range (KAI and SPL) with ball bearing cores :P;):D

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
