Hi I have been looking at upgrading my turbo with something that will just bolt straight on. I am looking for around 260rwkw. But I want to keep the lag right down to a minimum I have been looking at a Trust TD05 18g. I just want to no if anyone else has used these turbos before or no of anyone who has and what results they have had.

My car is a R34 skyline

thanx

No way on earth it will make 260rwkws. It should be responsive though as its a pretty small turbo.

This is a guess, but std EVOs use to come with turbos from the TD05 series... for that power a TD06-20G is more the go, though im yet to see a T3 flanged internal gate one make that sort of power.

General consensus is a 2535 or a GT-RS is the better avenue to pursue, or try reading bullant_47s thread in forced induciton on the GCG Hi-Flow with VG30 rear housing

This is a guess, but std EVOs use to come with turbos from the TD05 series..

Evo Turbo's up to EVO III are TD05 16G.

the newer EVO's have been using something else.

I had a 16G on my VR4.

it was pretty responsive on the 2L.. I'd say 1bar boost by 3500rpm in somparison to the stock turbo (which is a td05 14B) makes 1Bar by 2900 I think

TD05 on an RB20 sounds like a winner.

TD06-20G is pretty good balance between response, a reasonable power figure at sane boost, and the good old turbo kick/feel....on an RB20 that is.

Even on an RB25 where it should be able to punch out 260-270rwkws, i would be surprised if on an RB25 a GT-Rs or GCG Hi FLow could match it for response and power...

^^^^^^^

So it I able to make the sort of power that I am after then.

how responsive was it?

Was it nice to drive?

I just want it for drifting so i want minimum lag that is why I was going for the smaller turbo over the bigger.

I have a mate that has a TD06 25g and it is to lagy for what I would like. I have been also told that their I a guy over in Victoria with a GTT with the same set up as mine and he is producing 270rwkw on 1.2bar.

Here's the Boost Graph - It made 1.2bar by 3200rpm and held that til 5000rpm before slowly dropping back and holding 1.0bar by 6350rpm til 7250rpm

Ignore the spiral effect - the operator over-boosted it at 1st

That was with a completely standard head/cams etc just lots of bolt on bits. I was aiming for Tomei 260' Cams and Pulleys for even more poke.

It was fantastic to drive - good off boost preformance too.

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
