Ill be looking at getting a turbo soon, and i had a search on this forum and found that some are really happy and some really unhappy with HG. Looking at their prices, id rather stick with a garret for a little bit extra cash.

I wouldnt buy a journal bearing turbocharger that ISNT both oil and water cooled.

Best bet would be to ring around (yellowpages, search turbochargers) and get quotes for a Rb25 turbo HighFlow job, say "Stage 2" ie big bore to the intake & exhaust housing, 360degree thrust bearing oil and water cooled

see what response / pricing you get. One company out there would surely do them, ie like the Slide highflow Turbos (yes I have one, very happy, but having owned it for a year there would be no way that I would accept a turbo that isnt both oil and water cooled)

and I say thrust/journal bearing as they are roughly 50% cheaper, at least, than a BallBearing equivelant. my journal turbo is above boost pressure at 2400rpm and is at full boost at 4000rpm (1.1bar) from standing start, and hits full boost at 3500rpm when already "on the go" say at 80kmph when I tromp it thru to 110kmph

yeah oil only I believe

it's gonna get hot, damned hot; you'll need to be religious with your cooling-down methods

I paid ~ $800 for the slide turbo (not available now) and am damned happy with my value for money

if it lasts another year then yes I'll be satisfied, and hopefully then I can afford a 2k turbo

Nothing wrong with OIL cooled only turbo's

As you said, Trust range is like that.

yes you get what you pay for.

Everyone was all happy as larry about the Slide Hiflows.

Now there are threads that pop up everywhere (then locked and deleted) about failures and warranty shit.

it's up to you.

But just like you, I can't see a better option for $1K when you get manifold turbo, gate etc etc.

all pretty much ready to go.

EDIT - why not search to see how many people have busted TRUST turbos.

Roy has had a TD06 on his RB20 for god knows how long now.

He's gone through 1 RB20 block but nothing wrong with the turbo.

He's car's seen more track days than most and makes over 250rwkw most of the time.

I'm not comparing HG turbos to Trust turbo's... just trying to show the OIL cooled only-phobia people that it's all ok.

sounds good then

yeah my thinking for my slide turbo was $800 over 2 yrs is a good deal. got thru 1 yr / 6000kms with it now.

nothing against oil cooling only, just you will HaVe to make sure it cools down properly prior to shut down, with water+oil cooling I must admit I dont worry too much about it.... slow down for last km or so, hit driveway, switch off. with oil only Id be turning on my turbo timer, and that has been switched off since day one of owning the stagea.

I disagree Tangles (Surprising hey..)

Since you take it easy on the "last km's or so", wether you have oil only or water and oil cooling makes no difference.

As an example, if you have your slide turbo on and drive off boosty for the last km or so and when you stop at your driveway, say your oil temp is 90 degrees.

same scenario in the oil only cooled turbo will show the same result.

and leting it idle at the driveway for 2 minutes or whatnot will only heat it back up as there is no air going past the factory shitty oil cooler on the oil filter adapter thingy.

if you thrash the bajebus right up to your driveway, you'd cool either turbo down.

if you turned it off straight away, it would seize up either turbo.

disagreement is good, mmmm'k?

my slide hasnt seized up yet :)

nah I dont drive like I stole it.

with an oil only cooled turbo a little flashing light would be in my brain (get out!!) saying "cool down first". dont get that with the water/oil cooled turbo - mainly "kill them all" but thats for my psychologist to work on.

a little flashing light in your brain? like a robot?

You're a robot?

like ASIMO?

Cool.

Dance Tangles, Dance!!

I still don't believe that it would need any more cool down than any other turbo.

Cooling down essentially means letting the car run so that the oil pump still does it's job to push oil through the engine and turbo.

if you've been cruising along before parking, it requires no more cooling than you woudl for the other turbo's..

ie, park, handbrake up, seatbelt off, get out of door, pull pants up, pull undies out of crack, scratch left nut, adjust position of knob, windows up, turn off car.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
