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

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Kinugawa-Turbocharger-RB20DET-RB25DET-2-4-Cover-8cm-T3-V-Band-TD06H-20G-/290701940216?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43af2f95f8#ht_2625wt_1270

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

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
