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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
