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


Recommended Posts

well that all depends how much experience you have had working on cars..

if you regularly service your own car and know how to spin a spanner, its not overly difficult..

If you have never changed a spark plug, it could well be a nightmare..

wait a minute you have an rb25...and the setup your buying is off an rb20...none of its gunna work bud...

sorry...I somehow missed the bit that said RB25 and GTS-4..

no wonder everybody is so quiet.....thanx kunce... :blush:

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

The age, who made the highflow and what specs it has been highflowed to will mean more than generically terming highflows to be inferior/obsolete compared to cheaper turbos. Only difference between a new turbo and a high flow = retaining factory housings of the existing turbo. If you machine the housings to suit the wheels and don't run into any flow restrictions, there's no reason you can't make all the power of the new turbo. Hence my highflow SS1PU makes all the power it's supposed to in ATR43 guise. The cheap turbos have come a long way, but so have highflows.

I understand they have developed over the years but I'm my experience with them I won't use them again iv used both a 25 highflow and a td06 and I would much rather a td06. To the op the 20 setup will work if you use a rb20 tps and buy a td06h-20g 10cm or td06sl2-20g 10cm. I used the td06h 8cm on a rb20 and it made a very fast car and fun to drive. All that really needs deciding on is if you want internal gate or external gate

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
