For what? Drag racing??

A T88 is a laggy, plain-bearing, straight-line turbo.

T88 is my fav all time turbo i have T88-33dand T88H-38GK

i bought another gt-r now so im looking for a t88h or a 34d...

Believe it or not but i have had T88's come on at 4900rpm and croydon i believe can get them on lower! Now to me thats not laggy!! just doesn't have a neat power band!!! considering even 'big' low mounts arn't on full boost by around then?

i just love T88's at the end of the day lol

They've all gone to the museum.

Looks like you might have to change your forum name.

If you want something similar ie. 800-1000hp from the garrett stable, a GT51R is the way to go. You can get them for around $2400 or less and it will definately have more response than that T88.

lol

low-mounts will have boost before 4000rpm

look- B.S.T's are unbeatable for budget outright power and drag-racing, but low-mounts pwn for throttle repsonse.

they aren't responsive because they're low mounted.

Once you go over 350awkw....a big single is more responsive than the twin setup if you correctly match everything

Museum hahahaha

Nah honestly guys There are a million new designed turbo's that are prob better for response etc...But as i said T88 is always my decision, I honestly cant seem to find one in Australia atm!!! Where r they hiding!!!

surely someone must wanna sell there turbo to me :D

Ball bearing is the last thing i worry about. The wheel sizes and trim alongside with the housing sizes play a far bigger role.

Its funny because all Trust turbos were much maligned a few years back. Then a few people get results with them then all of a sudden for some engine packages they are a highly recommended turbo.

You only have to look at the number of crazy fast GTRs at the strip and circuit in Japan to realise that the T88 cannot be that bad a thing when put on a built engine. The right gearbox nehind them makes it an even more attractive option.

I dont agree with what all Japanese tuners do, but the mass of them using the T88 over the likes of the T51 tells me that even though we dotn like them locally they have to have some sort of benefit. Woudl love to see a T51 vs T88 comparison on teh same engine but who has that sort of money :D

I will be running a Trust 6speed gearbox with it so the ratio's in that box are awesome for the turbo, Im just happy someone out there knows why i stick with the T88 turbo....

Once i get my hands on another T88 and tune it i will post up dyno graph's to show when it does come on :) Then ppl can see there not such a grumpy old turbo! lol....

BUT STILL CANT FIND ONE!!!!!

ive got a t88-33d here ready to go on my RB30, cant wait to get it all done :)

Good stuff man make sure u try match it with a trust Type-r gate...The sound from that gate is unbeatable lol

T88-34d here.

I had mine reconditioned and Replaced both impeller & exhaust blades with GT42 (i think) items, machined the housings to suit...runs like a champ!

BULLSHIT if you look at many of the big name jap cars they are using T88-38GK's the new versions over the T51R.... more response.

T88 ON BOARD if you get stuck i can get one over in a heartbeat.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
