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?

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
