As some of you may have read in my for sale post, i recently installed a Trust T88-33D. Front housing size im not too sure but when i checked for the exhaust housing size the numbers 1.5 were stamped inside. So im guessing exhaust housing size is 1.5!

Comparing it to my old Garret Turbo which was a .82rear housing it comes on boost only a few hunder rpm later. I thought i wouldnt be on boost till 6k but i was completely wrong. I havent tuned it as yet but will be hopefully shortly. Im only running 1.1bar at the moment and it feels so much stronger on the st then the old turbo. With some tuning it should come onto boost possibly even earlier.

Does any one on here know of any else using a T88 on a Rb25??

Also were can i get more specs on Trust turbos as i have tried searching through the net but to no avail.

Thanks

Harun

Just thought i would post my 2c for people who thought about installing such turbo onto there car.

Also, just wondering why you would put a turbo on that you thought wouldnt make boost until 6000 rpm?

If you want to bring it on boost earlier, try fitting a split pulse manifold, as the T88s were designed for them.

There is an article in an old hpi mag about a top secret GTR with T88-34D, it made 'more than 1 bar' at around 4500rpm and 430odd rwkw at 1.9 bar boost.

Well i was told it was a Garret Gt35/40R by the previous owner. But i dont think it was. Im guessing it was more a Gt35 with .82 rear housing.

Thanks for the chart Steve.

Also i had been told buy many people it would be on boost before 5k. It was just my suspicions. The car does make 1 bar of boost before 5k aswell.

RNZ11Z,

i believe the GT35/40 and the GT35 are both the same.

if u can tell me the part number on the centre cartridge, i'll tell you what turbo it is.

Also, it should have the A/R stamped on the exhaust housing.

    • I have always resisted the urge to go silly. 8" wide wheels and street friendly spring rates? Check. (Let's not talk about the steadily increasing spread of spherical joints across my suspension!!) Stock turbo, run at 12 psi? Check. Lasted for ?10 years before it died. Highflow put on rather than seizing the opportunity to go G45. You don't need 300 rwkW, let alone the more massive numbers that seem to be essential these days, to have a car that is already way too powerful and fast for a streeter. ~250rwkW is fine. I've never exceeded 200, although I will sneak up above it if and when I manage to get my finger out and do what needs to be done to use the highflow's capacity. You don't need $10k worth of CF bits glued onto the outside. You don't need razor sharp ankle cutting front splitters. You don't need the car to be 2" off the ground. You don't need flawless paint, mirror finished wheels, brand new indicator lenses, etc etc. All these things just make the car impractical and will cause you pain when they get damaged, which is inevitable for a street car. A few nice additions are good. Good seats are good. A nice stereo is good. A/C is good! (46° on the road yesterday and my A/C is degassed again. Was moderately traumatic driving home!) The main reason I stick with a mildly modified old Skyline is that I have had it for  >25 years, the mods are the rolling result of 25 years of things dying and being upgraded opportunistically, coupled with a few "just 'coz" ones. And I hate modern almost all cars. If I was a young buck starting out now.... I wouldn't bother. Cars have a few years left where there is any possibility of interest or fun. Thereafter there will be no such thing allowed or possible. Any time, money and effort spent now on a project would just be a waste.
    • Let's be wary though, if cranking is so far off, what else isn't set right? Are the dead times set right, voltage compensation etc?   It definitely sounds like it's cranking fuel issues, and holding flat to the floor is shutting them down, but I'm with Duncan that if nothing was changed in the ECU at all, and then this started, I'd be more thinking a leaking injector.   Do as Duncan said, drop the oil and make sure it's not full of fuel.
    • It actually means give it less throttle.
    • Yeah if the goal is to drive something then modifying a car is a bad idea.
    • Wowee! She looks like a major handful out there Pete!
