For what? Drag racing??

A T88 is a laggy, plain-bearing, straight-line turbo.

T88 is my fav all time turbo i have T88-33dand T88H-38GK

i bought another gt-r now so im looking for a t88h or a 34d...

Believe it or not but i have had T88's come on at 4900rpm and croydon i believe can get them on lower! Now to me thats not laggy!! just doesn't have a neat power band!!! considering even 'big' low mounts arn't on full boost by around then?

i just love T88's at the end of the day lol

They've all gone to the museum.

Looks like you might have to change your forum name.

If you want something similar ie. 800-1000hp from the garrett stable, a GT51R is the way to go. You can get them for around $2400 or less and it will definately have more response than that T88.

lol

low-mounts will have boost before 4000rpm

look- B.S.T's are unbeatable for budget outright power and drag-racing, but low-mounts pwn for throttle repsonse.

they aren't responsive because they're low mounted.

Once you go over 350awkw....a big single is more responsive than the twin setup if you correctly match everything

Ball bearing is the last thing i worry about. The wheel sizes and trim alongside with the housing sizes play a far bigger role.

Its funny because all Trust turbos were much maligned a few years back. Then a few people get results with them then all of a sudden for some engine packages they are a highly recommended turbo.

You only have to look at the number of crazy fast GTRs at the strip and circuit in Japan to realise that the T88 cannot be that bad a thing when put on a built engine. The right gearbox nehind them makes it an even more attractive option.

I dont agree with what all Japanese tuners do, but the mass of them using the T88 over the likes of the T51 tells me that even though we dotn like them locally they have to have some sort of benefit. Woudl love to see a T51 vs T88 comparison on teh same engine but who has that sort of money :D

I will be running a Trust 6speed gearbox with it so the ratio's in that box are awesome for the turbo, Im just happy someone out there knows why i stick with the T88 turbo....

Once i get my hands on another T88 and tune it i will post up dyno graph's to show when it does come on :) Then ppl can see there not such a grumpy old turbo! lol....

BUT STILL CANT FIND ONE!!!!!

BULLSHIT if you look at many of the big name jap cars they are using T88-38GK's the new versions over the T51R.... more response.

T88 ON BOARD if you get stuck i can get one over in a heartbeat.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...

      BCNR33/ECR33 Door corner piece replacement

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !

      I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
