Where Are All The T88's Gone?

[T88 ON BOARD]

Hey all,

At one stage I could recall there being so many T88 turbo's for sale lol...Now that i need another one no one has any Wats the go?...im chasing down a Used one must be either T88H-34D 22cm or T88-34D 22cm...

anyone have one? i have written in the Wanted section but only 14ppl have looked, no one checks it i dont think,.... im in real need of one!!

[sh@un]

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

[sh@un]

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'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.

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

Museum hahahaha

Nah honestly guys There are a million new designed turbo's that are prob better for response etc...But as i said T88 is always my decision, I honestly cant seem to find one in Australia atm!!! Where r they hiding!!!

surely someone must wanna sell there turbo to me

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

How does a GT42 or GT45 compare to a T88??? As in response, power???

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!!!!!

[nizmonut]

a good turbo for this replacement with less lag is a caterpillar 938F turbo. spools wickedley when bolted to a rb.

I had mine reconditioned and Replaced both impeller & exhaust blades with GT42 (i think) items, machined the housings to suit...runs like a champ!
