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

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
