Ok

Finally by the end of this year or EARLY next year it looks like I can get some power into my baby and bolt on a bigger turbo :)

After much research and umming and ahhing I have narrowed my choices down to two.

This is not another thread about which turbo will get me xxxrwkw.

I know the approximate power that I want and these two turbos will hopefuly get me there with the right tuning and support mods.

The two turbos in question are.

1) HKS 3037s with 0.73 (or was it 0.74 ?) rear housing.

2) Trust TD06 with 12 cm housing. Can someone clarify what the difference is between the 20g and 25g ?

I would like to get peoples opinions on these turbos, not just "yeah I think HKS is the best, Trust sux".

People who have either been in, driven or owned cars with either of the two turbos mentioned.

Im particularly interested in the real world applications of the Trust turbos, as I have heard a few people speculatiing that it wont be as good cause its plain bearing as oppose to ball bearing from the HKS.

ie they need a lot of oil and the bearing seizes etc...would like to know if this is true from people who have or have had experiences with Trust turbos.

Finally (feel like a noob asking this :) ) but can someone explain to what the different sizes of wastegates do ?

ie 38mm wastegate as oppose to 45mm wastegate ?

Is it just the amount of "default" boost it will provide ? I always thought they had different spring tensions for the boost levels.

Thanks in advance !!!

PS

Just to clarify this will be going into an R34 GTT.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
