Ok so i've done a BIT of searching, maybe not as much as i should have, but from what i've seen, nothing all that much comes up when it comes to Trust's turbo range. All i read about is HKS and Garrett most of the time...

Now when it comes to HKS, i hear and read a lot about the GT-RS. But is there anything really wrong with Trust's TZ series? Yeah ok, so Trust are only oil cooled and plain bearing...but if you can get 20% off from autobarn when they have their sales, would the savings be enough to compensate? Or would you still just go for the GT-RS?

Thoughts and opinions appreciated!

For what its worth I'd prefer the Trust TZs over a pair of GT-RSs :thumbsup:

He's talking single application, RB25.

To run pairs you need stroker love for the GT-RS

Doh my bad! In that case the closest I know of is a dude who had an R33 GTS25t running a Trust TD05-18G bolt on turbo for an R33, it looked a little laggier than a stock turbo but the car was making around 260rwkw. Seemed similar to a GT-RS, maybe a little less flowing.

i think he means GTR??? T517z is far more responsive than GTRS they are really no comparable as the GTRS is a bigger turbo. ive had 2 rb26 with t517z's on them and they got similar results to the garret 2860's.

What about T518Z?

Or was he talking about T517's or something?

Such ambiguity :D

Haha oopz, sorry, my bad, should have made things a little clearer for you all

I actually WAS talking about single application for RB25...t517z. Do they not make single application with this turbo? I was under the impression that they did, if i remember correctly what i was told when inquiring somewhere.

Does lithium's comment sound accurate? Would the TD05H-18G be the closest competitor to HKS' GT-RS?

Does being plain bearing and only oil cooled be enough to sway you from using Trust on a daily driven street car with maybe the occasional track day?

TD05 18G slightly smaller,

anything bigger than that in Trust is going to be in a high mount application.

TD06-25G / T67 would be similar, T67 8cm is hella responsive on an RB25 (Trust make these for SR20), but you will be going external gate and high mount.

T517 single on RB25 is not going to cut the cheese im afraid.

Becides the T25 flange, its going to run out of puff too quickly if you want to compare it to a GT-RS.

a 10cm T517 might get you there, but again different flange :D

If high mount is not a problem, perhaps look up the scale into the TD range from Trust.

If you want to keep it low mount, theres GT-RS or perhaps do some dealings and see if you can get a larger rear housing for TD05-18G? (not sure if this is a possible option)

There is also the TD06Sh 20G with 14cm internal gate (something I've never seen from trust) Their largest internally gated turbo.

I would call a T67 more in the GT3037 or bigger territory myself, much bigger than a GT-RS - even the smaller housing ones. A TD06-20G I'd compare with a HKS GT2835 or Garrett GT3071R. I have seen an internally gated T3 flanged TD06 once off a Skyline which was imported from Japan though it didn't come with any real details.

Yup, that why I mentioned it with a 25g :D

They are easily as responsive as a 3037 (3076 et al) and have more top end.

There are a couple of off the shelf TD06's internally gated, the only one I have seen infront of me was a butchered RB housings with the guts of the TD in them.

Thanks heaps, everyone, for all your input...definately given me heaps to think about...

i'm pretty certain that i'll be sticking to a low mount...hence trying to find Trusts closest competitor to the GT-RS seeing as though i hear so much about it...but like i said...if Trust can be bought for cheaper and still perform just as well...i don't see why not just go for trust! :D

Either Trust or HKS will be a good package that you can bolt on yourself and nothing else needed to be purchased.

As much as I like trust turbo's if you want to stay low mount and you are chasing that sort of power a bolt on GT-RS is hard to say no to.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
