One of my mates in sydney has sourced this turbo setup for me, what looks to be a T06 to fit an RB25, manifold, wastegate, and other lil bits n pieces. All up he wants $1200 for it, but he dosen't know if it works or not, I need to let him know by the end of the day if I want it or not. So basically my question is this... if I pay this amount n it turns out to be a dud, what can I do with it, and would I still be able to break even or lose less than $200 on it? I'm not really looking for a profit if I resell it if its not what I need, so what do you guys think? should I buy it?

He mentioned something about a 9mm something or other and it will bolt onto an RB25 and there's a small dent under the front pipe? comes with the AFM as well...

ahhh decisions decisions... quick, someone tell me what to do. How much is a broken TD06 worth anyways?

Actually, having a closer look at the 2nd set of photos looks as though they have welded a T3 or T4 flange to the exhasut housing of what may be a TD06 series turbo (it kinda looks triangular instead of square) so that it can be bolted to the manifold, which does appear to be a twin scroll,

Considering this would mean quite a mismatch of the inner diameters/faces id suggest there is a reason why its so cheap, but still if the manifold doesnt have any cracks and the wastegate is in ok condition then they are worth the money, i dont think the turbo will ever work well with that manifold, so could sell the turbo with correct exhasut housing to recover some costs

yeah it appears as if they've used a manifold for an HKS turbo with a trust turbo, which is wierd. Its a triangular to squar mateing job. apparently the inners of both are the same diameter... so :

Its not a TD06-25g compressot housing, they have Greddy cast into them like DJ Lethals TD06-25g... its more then likely a TD06-20g like mine, althought the compressor looks different so may be an older TD06-20g turbo, does it have a tag on the comrpessor cover, if so what colour is it blue and silver or black and silver

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
