Mike - there s a very good thread about turbos in the forced induction thread. it basically says that the first thing to do is set a power target, and a budget.

I dont think the TD05 isnt a very big turbo - and you'd probably be better off putting it on a CA silvia.

find that thread and have a read. it's well good.

From the trust series the one to have for a rb25det is the TD06-20G with a 12cm exhaust housing, or if you want a bit more HP the TD06-25G which has a slightly larger exhaust housing but will be lagier. I have the 16cm version and lag isnt too bad 4300rpm full boost the mid range and top end is awesome, where as aidwins car runs out of puff up top mine just keeps pulling, but his spools much quicker... at the end of the day I think peak HP isnt worth looking at too much its more how you drive the car. With my car to have any fun you really need to wind it out to 7500-8000rpm (this probably didnt help my pistons as well as the 1.2bar I was probably running :) )

How much is it going for? We can get you a cheap turbo upgrade that will do a very nice job, and is an easy replacement, call SST for details.

Hey Paul

The Turbo is a rebuilt unit for $1130 inc freight. What are the one that SST are doing?

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
