Alright guys...heres the deal.

Was originally going to get a HKS GT2835 Pro S....which would have cost close to $5k including all the oil lines, gaskets etc to bolt straight in.

Got a quote today for a Trust TD05 18G kit for $500 less....it also includes oil lines and gaskets etc to bolt striaght in...AND it includes the greddy intake plenum.

Which would be the better choice ???

also I have a feeling the HKS one is slightly larger than the trust..........can someone please clarify this for me

Cheers

PS

Its for an R34 GTT

ahh so true.........should have made the title Garrett vs Mitsubishi.

but they said the TD05 will make around 280rwkw......where as the 2835 will make 319kw according to the HKS japan website.

but making that kind of power ill most probably need to toughen up the internals...which will blow the budget a bit.

Bob...I dont think you need a new exhuast manifold for the TD05....well not the 18G anyways.....its a low mount.

well I had my doubts from the begining that the TD05 will make as much power as the 2835.....however that Greddy intake plenum looks awesome...and tidys up the RB25 engine bay a little bit.

Question is...would I get any performance gains from it ?

One disadvantage is that I will lose the TCS

shonen- about the greddy intake plenum no preformance gains unless u are reaching over 300rwkw.. standard is fine unless u got money to waste.

and r31nismoid

td06-25g makes around 300-330

td05 making 280

is that what the turbo is rated at ...? pls explain

yeah in regards to the TD05 thats what I was told by the people who quoted me the price..

obviously there were being a little biased/optimistic.

NICE website mate.......you got your car pretty much the same time I did and your website was one of the first ones I saw when I did a google search :P....my mate got inspired by your modified Top Secret front bar and is doing the same !!

i was talking kw, and thats what the td06-25g made in real life... well.. acutally a few of i've seen are around that figure. thats why its was a bit broad.

i wouldnt expect a smaller turbo with a smaller housing to make close-to figures

The TD05 can make just as much as the 2835, difference is one is pushing 1.5 bars and the other 1 bar at about 400ps. I know because I was going buy a 2835 but decided to work the factory turbo to it's limits. The TD06-20G L2 is on par with the 2835.

Next upgrade either a TD06-25G or GT30 Pro...also about the same but the TD06-25G has prove itself time after time for my motor.

Basically choose the turbo that works well for your motor, see what turbo the tuning shops have used to get the best results.

Also IanH....how come your friend had to get some mods done to fit the turbo ??

I was told the 2835 Pro S is a straight bolt on.....no mods needed.....

on another note I was quoted $4.5k for the TD05 18G and greddy intake plenum

I am at this stage only willing to stretch to $6k MAX.......

would the extra $1.5k cover the cost of getting the TD06 25G instead and also the high mount manifolds ?........I have my doubts...but thought id ask :P

The constant rebuilding of plain bearing turbos wore pretty thin with me many years ago. If it hasn't got balls, I simply don't use it. I don't care what Trust compressor and turbine I come up with, I will always achieve faster boost build and more reliable operation from a ball bearing core. It is then a matter of matching the compressor and the turbine with what it is that you are trying to achieve (max power, driveablility, times etc).

I have read all of your posts in this thread shonen and I am still not sure what it is exactly that you want from your car. It's an auto isn't it? And I can't remember what other mods you have already done. Without that information, suggesting a turbo would be a waste of time from my perspective.:P

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
