I'm in a bit of a bind. I had a genuine T67-25g kit including stainless manifold and 48mm ext gate which I bought for a build up on an RB25DE+t which I intend to run on E85 using a Haltech PS2000. The T67 was stolen from my garage. So I have a manifold with a trust flange and no trust turbo. Given that new trust turbos are well outside my budget and 10cm exhaust housing second hand units seem to be extremely rare, I was looking down the tried and tested Kando (kinugawa) path.

Kinugawa only sell trust flanges in 8cm and 12cm exhaust housings. I'm fairly sure 8cm would be too restrictive for what i'm building but I note a few people have used the 12cm on RB30s. Am I crazy to consider buying one of these?

Really appreciate any advice at the moment as i'm really not turbo savvy.

Sad face :( no thoughts? I've seen some 350rwkw on E85 out of the 8cm housing from Trust, this is where I was aiming in power anyway so that is looking like better candidate than the 12cm now.

Well the high comp engine does not help with back pressure and heat. Using a large 25G comp with a small L2 turbine in a tinny 8cm housing is going to make your engine pin and significantly reduce the life of the turbocharger. If it has to be a Greddy style of a turbocharger I recommend the 25G with a TD06H turbine in a 10cm housing which you can get them separate and we can machine it to suit.

Alternatively you can use one of our .82 turbine ended SS2 in .70 comp as an high mount. which is very reliable and will produces excellent turbo response while make the same amount of power as to a 25G compressor.

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
