Okay.. Nengun have these for $1440 delivered.. now, for a brand spanking new turbo i'm thinking that's pretty good..

BUT.. are these a good performance upgrade? or is it worth hunting around for a GT2535? It'll be going on an RB20..

Any thoughts would be great.

There are also different exhaust sizes... so any opinions would be good on that too..

Thanks peoples.

Yeah dude if you can afford it go it. I have a GReddy TD-06 on my RB20 and this thing farking fly's.

It was set at just ver 1.5 bar when i picked the car up the other day (only just imported it) and it was crazy they way it just lights up the rear wheels. Have since cut boost back to 1bar and is still fun to drive.

Need a FMIC and an exhaust and i recon it will be good for over 200rwk's

Im going for 240rwk's. :confused:

I have seen Nengun's Trust prices too, which I thought looked very good.

Running an RB25, I think (not sure) the TD-06 is the better option, while the TD-05 is a better RB20 fitment. This would be for light-tune moderate powerups retaining factory-like boost thresholds.

My searching skills haven't really found any solid advice on exactly which spec Trust turbo suits which application and torque characteristics. There seems to be a range of different housing and wheel trim variations within each model turbo.

Also, is anybody aware whether Trust turbos come with oil and coolant lines as HKS do?

I haven't yet done any forum searches, but are there experiences/opinions about Trust turbos, especially matching them to the engine and whether they are a bolt-on replacement?

Are the td-05's still in production? I thought they had been superseded by the T517/8 series.

Though if they are still around i have a couple of mates running td05 18Gs on sr20's with good results.

The trust turbos are plain bearing, non water cooled so you have to block off the water lines.

As far as i know there not in production anymore but still stock available. There a good turbo upgrade for the money with the power they deliver.

i wish i still ahd my SR20 :crazy:

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
