High Flow Rb25 Turbo Or Trust Td06 Direct Bolt On. Ecu Is Tuned For Tdo6 But Costs More ?


Recommended Posts

well that all depends how much experience you have had working on cars..

if you regularly service your own car and know how to spin a spanner, its not overly difficult..

If you have never changed a spark plug, it could well be a nightmare..

wait a minute you have an rb25...and the setup your buying is off an rb20...none of its gunna work bud...

sorry...I somehow missed the bit that said RB25 and GTS-4..

no wonder everybody is so quiet.....thanx kunce... :blush:

Highflow turbos where good 10 years ago because everything was a lot more expensive so it was a cheap option snd fairly effective in saying that they are now out done by cheaper turbos. The td06 is a perfect turbo for a 20 iv used one myself and after using both turbos you have listed the td06 is much better

The age, who made the highflow and what specs it has been highflowed to will mean more than generically terming highflows to be inferior/obsolete compared to cheaper turbos. Only difference between a new turbo and a high flow = retaining factory housings of the existing turbo. If you machine the housings to suit the wheels and don't run into any flow restrictions, there's no reason you can't make all the power of the new turbo. Hence my highflow SS1PU makes all the power it's supposed to in ATR43 guise. The cheap turbos have come a long way, but so have highflows.

I understand they have developed over the years but I'm my experience with them I won't use them again iv used both a 25 highflow and a td06 and I would much rather a td06. To the op the 20 setup will work if you use a rb20 tps and buy a td06h-20g 10cm or td06sl2-20g 10cm. I used the td06h 8cm on a rb20 and it made a very fast car and fun to drive. All that really needs deciding on is if you want internal gate or external gate

    • Ha ha, ended up going it alone.  I just sent it (in a very nervous fashion).  Once I'd released the locks and it didn't automatically start spinning out of control i felt a bit more confident.   It made some loud sounds (cracking and creaking noises) when I first spun it which got the heart rate going again!  I couldn't bring myself to leave it tipped on the side.  I feel a bit more comfortable having back right side up while it sits there. I'd get angry with your last point but you're 100% correct! 😅 Even yesterday I managed to distract myself at numerous times to make a bracket to fit an LED flood light off the back of the house and fix my sons pushbike.  There were other little taks nibbling at my brain for the rest of the day too...
    • Probably one of the more nerve wracking experiences of my entire life! 😂😂 The balance (centre of gravity) is out still but in a direction that gives me comfort!   It's quite bottom heavy still meaning it takes a bit of muscle to rotate it.  The plus side of that is that it wants to to go back to upright.  Better that than wanting to go all stranded turtle on me!
    • hmmm that's not ideal. This is a pretty new engine right, will be interesting if your engine guy has any theories about causes
    • A universal ball joint removal c press kit is better money spent and will work for the Hicas ball joints.  Here's a 45$ CAD Example. ATPEAM Heavy Duty Ball Joint Press Kit with 4WD Adapters | Professional 4 in 1 Ball Joint Press Removal and Installation Tool for Cars and Trucks | Universal Ball Joint Tool with Storage Case, Ball Joint & Tie Rod Tools - Amazon Canada
