Mike - there s a very good thread about turbos in the forced induction thread. it basically says that the first thing to do is set a power target, and a budget.

I dont think the TD05 isnt a very big turbo - and you'd probably be better off putting it on a CA silvia.

find that thread and have a read. it's well good.

From the trust series the one to have for a rb25det is the TD06-20G with a 12cm exhaust housing, or if you want a bit more HP the TD06-25G which has a slightly larger exhaust housing but will be lagier. I have the 16cm version and lag isnt too bad 4300rpm full boost the mid range and top end is awesome, where as aidwins car runs out of puff up top mine just keeps pulling, but his spools much quicker... at the end of the day I think peak HP isnt worth looking at too much its more how you drive the car. With my car to have any fun you really need to wind it out to 7500-8000rpm (this probably didnt help my pistons as well as the 1.2bar I was probably running :) )

How much is it going for? We can get you a cheap turbo upgrade that will do a very nice job, and is an easy replacement, call SST for details.

Hey Paul

The Turbo is a rebuilt unit for $1130 inc freight. What are the one that SST are doing?

    • For me at least the reason why it bothers me is because it's indicative of a deeper problem. And that will nag at me forever. Especially because I have tailpipe emissions testing + evap leak testing every 2 years.
    • WELP. I went to the track, and I suppose it went okay because any time you can drive home is okay. You may notice the car is not on the circuit in this picture. It was about 35C day out in Benalla which means the track was approximately the surface of the sun, probably. Good things, car did not overheat but it _was_ warmer than when I had done track days in similar heat before, I think, I'm not sure - I can't quite remember. Coolant got to ~105 via the ECU after 20-30 minutes of belting it in said heat. Oil got up to 145C in one instance which is pretty crazy due to oil cooler. Pressures were fine. I seem to remember this not getting quite so high before the vents. More HMMMM'ing to be done. On the subject of HMMM'ing, can anyone identify the sounds in the video below, you will know which ones I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj3BkI2cbTc I included some 'normal' sound as a reference for the first minute or so. The microphone in this instance was where the license plate is. It stopped working later in the day which is why my "best example of a lap video (not produced)" had internal audio - Isn't hearable from inside the car. I don't mean the chirping of the un-bedded/badly bedded track brakes which you can only hear while braking... Thoughts, brains trust?
    • blame old mate Hawkins for that one  I remember way back in the day the japanese didn't want them either... they always assumed a race shell would be thrashed. We found a few when looking for an R34 GTR for the Whites to drive in Targa Tas back in 2002.
    • I know it's probably not going to cause any major engine issues. I just had a more generic concern that it's technically not running right (I guess this means the rpm is not sitting where it technically should be) Though the other thing is, it's that my steering wheel is shaking at 1,100 rpm at idle until it gets warm (seemed to happen after I tightened my alternator belt, will be testing the alternator soon).
    • I mean, what's the concern here? Higher fuel consumption? FWIW my idle sits at around 800rpm or so as well. And yes, it runs fine, idles fine and there are no issues as far as I can tell. I don't quite see the problem.
