520 wkw is an awfull lot for 700cc injectors... hmmm.

they are setup as secondary injectors with the emanage.... its what happens when marketing get involved with technical stuff... :D

would you believe it was running an e-manage blue too ? ive got the tune here somewhere as i used it for tech seminars :P

I upgraded my T517z to a T618Z a while back.

I lost a bit of bottom end and gained a lot more at top end as expected.

It's on a 3L so it's not laggy at all.

I would love to know how these compare to the HKS GTRS though.

on a 3l they would be quite fun, whats done up top? what sort of power? and at what boost? Ive never used them on a 3litre.

When do you start making usable boost with the 3lt? What was the diffrence in respose roughly? 300-500 rpm???

Don't suppose you have a dyno sheet?

Cheers

I was hoping that I can compare the difference on the dyno. However my tuner upgraded his dyno between the turbo change over. We compared my setup with a few other 2.6 with T517z. It's been a while but from memory, the T618Z's on the 3L comes on boost quicker and has more top end power than the 2.6 + T517 setup.

I am not a real fan of dyno number. The car made somewhere around 420rwkw with boost 98 in South Australia then made 600rwhp on a dyno in QLD. Changed to a vipec ecu and e85 fuel and only made 580hp at another dyno in QLD :P

The car is going through a few changes in the garage at the moment. The funny thing is that I made all of that power with a 100mm HKS copy intercooler :P I did not realise it until I took the intercooler off :)

Trent, the head is slightly high flowed with 272 and big lift.

Do they get restrictive/start running out of puff in the top end on the 3lt? Whats your rev limmit?

Cheers

Xrated, you can see on the dyno that the torque falls off a bit but it doesn't feel like it on the road. The T517z definitely was restrictive at top end, but the midrange was phenomenal. If my car is a dedicated circuit car I would of kept them.

how do the T618Z's compare to the GTRS's in terms of dimensions (housing etc) & what are they rated at each?

T618Z's and GT-RS are rated at 400ps

Comp specs;

IN 50.5mm OUT 68mm

Exh Specs;

IN 55.3mm OUT 65mm

HKS GT-RS

Comp specs;

IN 51mm OUT 71.1mm

Exh Specs;

IN 47mm OUT 63mm

interesting that the comp specs of the GTRS is larger yet the exh specs of the T618Z is larger.

which of the 2 determines more power even though they are equal in ps?

are the trust turbines bush & not bearing?

two different methods to achieve the same results. all trust turbos are bush (something i prefer even though i use more bb, due to brainwashed ppl)

i cant honestly compare back to back as the only pair of turbos yet to grace my shop are the GT-RS :)

You are amazing Uras and thanks for the info.

That info is very hard to get!

I looked everywhere for that info before I ordered the T618Z and had to speculate the wheels sizes from the TD06 and another turbo.

You wouldn't have a compressor map for the T618z handy do you?

honestly bearing type has about as much impact on the turbo power and response as the colour of the box it came in.

the myth that if a turbo is ball bearing it's more responsive than any bush bearing is just that. a myth.

the things that dictate power and response of a turbo is the sizing of the housings, their A/R, the matching of compressor size to turbine size, wheel trim, wheel size and many others. bearing type is at the bottom of the list. the main reason many companies went ball bearing was to increase service life. it's more a reliability thing than a response thing. a decent high performance 270 or 360 degree thurst bearing is fine. when running the shaft is floating on a layer of oil and not touching any metal. sure there should be some friction gain in ball bearing but it's hardly the deciding factor.\

trust make some great high performance aftermarket turbos but often get shunned cause they are not ball bearing. big deal. bush bearing are also easier and cheaper to rebuild the core. ball bearing s require a new bearing pack/core assembley which is up to $1000 for some models.

good point beer baron - my brother & i had this conversation where he is of the opinion that trust build great bush turbo's which almost sounds like old technology doesn't it...at the time i thought this is ridiculous BUT the above info makes sense

when i used to race r.c. cars bush electric motors & wheels were cheap & nasty - then u had the all mighty full race bearing version :action-smiley-069: the myth has been drummed in my head ever since

won't be too much help.. I've got 2 mates each running the set-ups mentioned above on stock capacity 26's with small head work, ported + cams.

Both car's are laggy, GTRS's won't start moving till 4500rpm and will push you into the seat hard 500rpm later. Will keep making power all the way to 8000rpm.. On the other hand the t618z car will be some 500rpm laggier as it builds up to 1.5 bar very late on the band. Massive top end on it well past 8000rpm on the 26. Unless your throwing it on a 30 I wouldn't bother as it is very laggy on the 26. 1st gear is pretty much useless topping 1 bar, then making a full 1.5 in 2nd.

Very brief description I know but thought id add something in.

Cheers mate... Thats the sort of info I'm trying to gather

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
