Hi Guys,

Just going through the posts in the forums about the Trust/Greddy TD-06 series turbos and just have a few little questions as I am planning on getting one.

I have a SII R33 Skyline with a 3" turbo back exhaust, FMIC and will be getting a PowerFC soon.

From what I've read, these turbo are bolt onto the standard manifold and can have both internal and external wastegates. Am I correct?

Also, I read a post in one of the threads that said that the TD-06's were not water cooled thus you would have to have the water lines blocked. If I am correct, is it just as simple and blocking the water lines or is there more to it?

Also, for you guys that have one on, what times and power output are you getting from your turbo.

Lastly was it as easy as bolt-in? Did any other component in the car have to be replaced as I suspect this turbo would be larger?

I want to have as least as possible labour time to reduce costs, thus I sort of directing towards the TD-06 turbos with internal wastegates but if i get enough help I may stray toward the external wastegated ones. Could go GT30 if external wastegate is recommended.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards

Steve

with external gate, you need a custom manifold, it will not bolt onto the stock manifold as you have to bolt the wastegate onto the manifold aswell. If you find a td-06 with external gate, then you will have to add about $1000 for the manifold and about $300-$500 for the gate

Hi,

I just want the car for street and want it to go decently on the drag strip as well. Money should be adequate but I wouldnt mind the less the better.

EVL_R33, would you know if the internal gated TD-06 will bolt onto the standard manifold?

thanks again guys

Scooby_Steve, yes an Internal gate td-06 will bolt onto a standard manifold. If you going to buy one you should look at getting a td06-20g with a 10cm exhuast housing (8cm suits sr20/ca18 better, 10 or 12cm i would say is the best for rb25 with min lag)

if you interested in buying an internal gate one there is one for sale in the forsale section i think the dude is asking $1500,

Im not too sure but i belived that you will need an aftermarket dump with the turbo.

ohh yeah and ext gate, is pure wank factor; and cost a far abit more

Please read the following threads for some more info on internal vs external so you understand the differences and have some more information to make a desision:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...11&page=1&pp=40

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...18&page=1&pp=40

Also do some search on the following parts for the RB25 as you'll need to upgrade them

Fuel Pump (gtr should be ok)

Clutch (upgraded plate or twin plate or stronger single plate)

Injectors (550cc or higher)

Airflow Meter (z32 airflow meter)

If you are looking for new turbochargers then check out nengun.com and login and add your car and it will highlight items suited to RB25 series 2. These should bolt upto stock flange, dump, exhaust etc. The HKS GT-RS kit is a well suited turbo for mild RB25. Plently of threads covering its power and recommended config for it. Suited for 260rwkw

I have a TD06-20G with external wastegate. This turbo makes good power on my engine which has bigger injectors,fmic, forger pistons etc. At 14.2psi in made 269.6rwkw. I have only raced a 1 drag meet and my best time was 12.4@117mph.

Hi Guys,

Thanks so much for your input.. I've just about made my decision on the turbo I'm going to buy.. But one last question.. Does the TD-06 20G require water lines? Just that I remembering reading somewhere that it didnt. any help on that would be great. thanks.

No mine doesnt. Have heard they make good power at 15+ psi.

Yes, just block them off.

With a turbo that doesnt use water cooling, it is a good idea to fit an oil cooler, especially if you intend to do any extended track type thrashing.

If the budget doesnt stretch, make sure you fit an oil temp guage, and ensure the oil temps are down before you switch off.

Normal things that should be done with any turbo car, but if you upgrade to oil cooled turbo, it is more important that you are mindful of warm up, cool down and oil temps.

      In a few years from now, you'll regret that. It'll eat away at you, knowing the truth of the ugly hiding beneath the beautiful exterior... 😛

      I don't think the G2 profile is particularly dangerous for the engine per se, more just are you actually ok with the turbo lag trade-offs? If the answer is yes then go for it. I personally don't think I'd be ok with it because I spend so much time at lower RPMs and I really enjoy the feeling of being able to stay in 5th gear on the highway and just roll into the throttle to get boost. Or staying in 3rd gear on "gentle canyon cruises" without feeling the turbo lag too badly. The 525 pump should be able to run flat out on factory lines but I would bet the pressure drop from pump to regulator is quite impressive. I don't know how much it would be exactly but I've seen figures like 30 psi thrown around.

      It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)

      But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.

      GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
