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.

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
