High Flow Rb25 Turbo Or Trust Td06 Direct Bolt On. Ecu Is Tuned For Tdo6 But Costs More ?


Recommended Posts

Decisions Decisions. Help me decide :D anyways im selling a vs s pac 5spd commodore and have been offered this.

-GTR injectors with the loom to suit a 20

-z32 AFM

-Nistuned ECU tuned for 21 psi of boost with a trust tdo6 20g turbo pumping out 260kw atw on a lil 20

-Front strut bar

And a turbo. A trust td06 20g DIRECT BOLT ON to standard manifolds only dump needs to be supplied which he will or a high flowed rb25 turbo capable of 25psi of boost. Now i get 350 my way plus all those parts if i take 25 turbo OR straight swap with the td06. And what i was thinking though is that because the ecu will need to be retuned for the high flo anyways would it be better to just snap up the td06. Or will it need to be tuned anyways because of the different rb20s ?

Add in the costs of fuel to get to adelaide, melbourne, geelong etc just on fuel it would be around 200 and then 400 for the tune ??

Help me out as im even considering if this even a good idea haha

if your R32 is in good shape it doesnt matter which turbo you get the tune should be pretty good anyway, just adjust your timing to suit and it shouldnt be too far off...but it will need proper tuning..

other than that fit it all up yourself and you should have a fairly quick car for the cost of an old commodore..personally i would grab the TD06 because i have one and love it :D ,, but in reality I would grab whichever turbo is in the best condition...both should perform ok...TD06 should perform better

**ed...tell him go half in fuel costs at least...lol

Well the rb25 has been rebuilt 2000k ago soo maybe that one and i was thinking the response would be better anyways with the high flow ?? Also he stated how he bought the td06 second hand himself and his had it for a while BUT its still mint. And thats all i was wondering if i would still need another tune up because of a different motor. but because i do i might just get the 350 my way and put towards a tune up. Does that sound like the sensible option ? He even reckons though because of the afm it will counter the tune to an extent and would still be drivable BUT wouldnt run more than 17 psi and wouldnt bounce the limiter and till tuning was done.

Highflow turbos where good 10 years ago because everything was a lot more expensive so it was a cheap option snd fairly effective in saying that they are now out done by cheaper turbos. The td06 is a perfect turbo for a 20 iv used one myself and after using both turbos you have listed the td06 is much better

Well buy everything apart from turbo ??? And get the one listed above ? Kinugawa from what i have read seem to be a respectable brand of turbo? would this be the better option as then i get some warranty. He wants about 700 for his high flow if i were to pay cash so would this be a better alternative ?

new kando should be better than second hand hiflow...but then again depends what sort of hiflow it is..some are a lot better than others...find this out and get back to us k ;)

Okie dokie also as the td06 is "direct bolt on" does that mean existing water and oil lines would need to be used. even though the td06 is a direct bolt on what new stuff would be needed e.g turbo gaskets etc and more importantly how much would it cost me ?

you know what f**k it, chances are the hiflow is shit so get the td06 as its tuned and ready to go, 260kws is no slouch either.....just get it and pay for a touchup tune later should only be a couple of hundred tops...if the turbo craps out later then you can get yourself a new core from kando for about 3-400 and swap it yourself..

you now have 2 votes for td06 from 2 people who have used both...do you need any more support or is that enough...

it will cost you money, oil and water lines can be bought fairly cheaply lets say 50-200$ Kando has them or you can get them locally

gaskets, you can just use your old ones, i did and havent had a problem..

but have no fear something will cost you money along the way...if you have no money, find a new hobby...lol

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
