8cms here... worked head stock capacity built 26... 360rwkw @ 20psi... running 21-22psi now not dynoed tho... I'm the T517z on the dyno comparo Ash posted... the Garretts are a much better choice if prices are similar... the Trust turbos are really old truck tech... they hit hard though and will last forever (mine are 8+ yrs old) and cheaper to rebuild should you have to

Hard as they would go with stock head?

Heads not stock, 260 x 9.15 cams and ported and polished.

I have personally seen this car make over 400kw on 3 separate dynos. At the last Time Attack here in SA it was place in the top 3 all day with the exception of the last session. It is making the power.

I stuffed a 2530 installing it in my gtr. It took 8 weeks and 1350 to repair. I told them to get f**ked because I was originally quoted up to two weeks and only 400. Went to mtq and got a brand new one for 1350 in two days they also confirmed the cost of repairing as the same. So if anybody thinks they can repair a 2530 for cheaper then that I have a brand new one for sale cheap as f**k just has a f**ked thread on oil feed line hahaha

Is that really all they are capable of with 10cm housings?

Yeah.... it was as hard as they would go on my set up. Stock head (drop in cams), stock exh manifolds, 98 and turns out a questionable exhaust.

I'd take my t517z's over -5's any day.

Only reason I took them off.... I upgraded to bigger twin 'truck' trust turbo's (td06 L2's)...

Garrett sucks..... Trust is awesome!

Awww come on... The little garretts ain't that bad.

Got a graph?

It's a bit rough to say that when Jack did a back to back and the "crappy Garrets" out performed the Trust turbos.

he he he...

The garretts are a pretty good choice....

I ran my T517Z's 7 years ago- they were the best option for me at the time. No graph.

They may out perform on a dyno... but it's hard to argue with 138mph in a full weight r32. havn't seen many -5 cars run those sort of numbers on a stock motor in full trim?

I don't like -5's the same as I don't like 'itard- Apple' products....

So many stories of wayward Gayretts. Have you popped any? I remember at one point you wre looking at grabbing one of Fatz?!?!?

I would say 2-3 out of 5 people I know running Gayretts have had troubles and needed replacing. Both singles and twins.

If you want response go and buy a BB 68 Camaro with screw blower on it! :) Go the Truck turbos. At least when they hit they test the strength of your seat back :)

I have had a few new Garrett's running high boost levels, the main issue with BB cores is they require good clean filtered oil, most of the failures I have seen relate to oil quality issues and oil restrictor blockages.

Bush cores are more resilient to contamination but also require much more oil flow or they will flog out quickly.

My issue was that I stripped a thread putting everything back together. My own fault. Silly Pig!

No no, I'm honestly curious.

138 MPH is hard to argue with, I agree!!!

Why don't you like the -5's? Don't make enough grunt?

-5's are like assholes or iPods..... everyone's got them. They're power delivery is a bit soft for me... they do produce boost sooner, but don't seem to produce 'push in the back' torque any sooner or as much.

T517Z's put a smile on my face in '05.... -5's didn't.

I love turbo cars for the rush of torque when your on the boil... I spent years after trying to chase my ass with the 'ultimate response/power' set up. But when I sat back, stripped it all back and reminded myself why I love my car/s.....

So I started building something that would put a smile on MY face and who gives a siht what any body else thinks.

... what I ended up with is a 2.8, twin billet Trust td06, nitrous injected, dog boxed GTR that makes me crap my pants :yes:

A lot of people have them, no doubt. It's all in the setup though.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
