hey all, just wondering which brand (either Trust or HKS) ppl think is better for a bolt on turbo... eg. GT2530 vs TD-05 and more importantly WHY!  ive heard that trust turbos are not water cooled, is there any truth to this??

Thats true with most of the trust turbo's, also HKS turbo's are modified garret turbo's and they are ball bearing which should help improve spoolup, and they can be rebult with carret internals, that said both trust and hks have excellent reputations so it's up to personal choice.

Td05 is only oil-cooled,

I wouldnt waste your money on a td05 if your going to buy anything i would do td06-20g with 8 or 10cm rear housing

Are we talking HKS or garrett as althou they are pretty similar i rate hks turbo higher than the plan garrett one.

heres a chart to find you an idea of Hp V's Turbo

trust turbos are oil cooled/plain bearing and based on mitsubishi items...

hks turbos are water&oil cooled/ball bearing and based on garret items...

it would have to be said that hks turbos are much better

not all hks turbo are water & oil cooled, for example the HKS t04e

when i said the GT2530 i was more thinking the HKS version.  from what i've heard theyre definately the way to go over the Garret one.  whats the difference between the two?

if you can find a td05 it should be pretty cheap, i almost bought one a few months back, the thing sold for about $600-$700 i think. compare to the HKS gt2530 which is about $1000-$1500

nothing wrong with plan bearing/oil cooled only turbos :P

Does anyone know where I can get my hands onto a Garrett or HKS bolt-on turbo for a RB25DET between now (Thrus, 6t Oct) to Monday (10-Oct) for around the $1,000 - $1,500 mark?

The workshop trying to source a turbo for me cant get onto any turbo's due to them all being sold out right now as we recently just had Jamboree here in QLD.

I'm pretty much after one really URGENTLY!

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
