which turbo

[2BNVS]

hey guys just a question, im plannin on upgrading my turbo shortly but i cant decide which one, its between the;

Garret GT30/40 or the Trust TD06H-25G

from searchin around i found that both of these applications have made round or just a lil over 300rwkw, i know bit more about the gt30/40 with prices and specs etc, can anyone tell me anythin bout the tdo6 i been searchin but cant find much detailed info...

which one would be the wiser pick?

problems and advantages with both?

value for money? etc

any comments appreciated, im just a lil confused to which one...

cheers...ben.

Go the 30/40 cheaper to buy brand new and easy to repair if it fails.

I got 30/40 and making over 300rwkw and very happy with my setup

ok kool thanks for that...another question...from nengun the hks 30/40 is roughly the same price as the local one...should i go for the hks one...i heard that they are from the same manufacturer, but i also heard that they are bit better for higher psi??

any help appreciated

cheers...ben.

I would have said exactly the opposite. If the 30/40 garret you are talking about is ball bearing then it will be bloody expensive to repair if it fails. Where as the Trust turbo can be completely rebuilt for around $700 - to the original specs... to replace the core in a bb turbo can cost in excess of $1500...

A HKS 3040 new is alot more than a new garrett 30/40.

A HKS 3040 is basically a garrett turbo with some extra mods done to it.

For the extra price you pay for the hks i would stick with the local product.

[2BNVS]

what extra bits does the hks version have over the garret?

If you buy new you wont have an issue with the core needing to be rebuilt anytime soon. The $$ you save on these to a hks/trust new you can rebuilt and still be ahead in the future

nengun has the hks gt30/40 for -$2929 new (including shipping)

capa (dunno if anyone is cheaper) has the garret gt30/40 for- $2930 (turbo alone)

If you are going Garret 30/40 i dont know

But if you are comparing HKS 3040 with Trust TD06-25G 10cm^2 then id say definitely go the Trust setup. There is one for sale now in the For Sale section that is a good buy....if you were saying HKS 3037S vs TD06-25G id be back sitting on the fence

do u have the support system for such turbo eg...fmic,comp,exhaust,injectors etc......

what is the car mainly used for??? decide what is a realistic power figure u want to achieve?? both turbs on an rb25 will see between 300-350rwkw.....

if u have the option of choosing from brand new off a catalogue i take it u have considered the wastegate + mainfold cause both turbos wont work on a standard manifold.....then ur looking at probably $5000 mark for a turbo kit......ive noticed ur 19 as well..so whatever ur doing for $$... i want in

[2BNVS]

yer i was aimin round the 300rwkw area, i already have FMIC, full exhaust, injectors and power fc are on there way from nengun...

all i need is a bigger fuel pump and reg. then just have to decide which turbo, i think i will go with the garret gt30/40 since its local, UAS have the gt30/40 kit (turbo, manifold, oil/ water lines) for $4545, the wastegate is a 38mm one which i thought id be better havin like a 45mm one so add bit more onto the price for that...fuel pump and reg. $500...

so like u said about 5g's plus fitting and tuning...i been planin this for a while so i dont make any mistakes n shit all i had to decide was on the turbo...

cheers...ben.

some of the UAS manifolds are just the stock ones butchered to make em high mount. Stay away from those ones as they are shit. If you are going high mount get a nice steam pipe made high mount manifold.

[2BNVS]

ive just seen from http://www.horsepowerinabox.com/HPIAB2/cat...ategory50_1.htm

they have the gt35 kit which has manifold, turbo and lines

PSR 45mm wastegate-This Kit is also offered with a Turbosmart 45mm Wastegate for an extra $150. ..

this "PSR" are they any good is it worth spendin the extra $150 for turbo smart? if not then id rather put that money towards say the fuel pres. reg.

cheers...ben.

I'd be wary of buying any kit without knowing definites on what precisely you are buying. Manifold can vary things quite dramatically, by as much as 1500rpm+ later spoolup and poor response. Turbo, you want to know exactly what comp + turbine you are getting - there are so many different combinations on "3040" not all of them are going to work at their optimum on your project.

Cheapest option for 300rwkw is to get DJLethal's 25G setup, not many setups will hold a candle to that. Guaranteed easy 11's once you sort out your traction issues...
