hey all, just wondering which brand (either Trust or HKS) ppl think is better for a bolt on turbo... eg. GT2530 vs TD-05 and more importantly WHY!  ive heard that trust turbos are not water cooled, is there any truth to this??

Thats true with most of the trust turbo's, also HKS turbo's are modified garret turbo's and they are ball bearing which should help improve spoolup, and they can be rebult with carret internals, that said both trust and hks have excellent reputations so it's up to personal choice.

Td05 is only oil-cooled,

I wouldnt waste your money on a td05 if your going to buy anything i would do td06-20g with 8 or 10cm rear housing

Are we talking HKS or garrett as althou they are pretty similar i rate hks turbo higher than the plan garrett one.

heres a chart to find you an idea of Hp V's Turbo

trust turbos are oil cooled/plain bearing and based on mitsubishi items...

hks turbos are water&oil cooled/ball bearing and based on garret items...

it would have to be said that hks turbos are much better

not all hks turbo are water & oil cooled, for example the HKS t04e

when i said the GT2530 i was more thinking the HKS version.  from what i've heard theyre definately the way to go over the Garret one.  whats the difference between the two?

if you can find a td05 it should be pretty cheap, i almost bought one a few months back, the thing sold for about $600-$700 i think. compare to the HKS gt2530 which is about $1000-$1500

nothing wrong with plan bearing/oil cooled only turbos :P

Does anyone know where I can get my hands onto a Garrett or HKS bolt-on turbo for a RB25DET between now (Thrus, 6t Oct) to Monday (10-Oct) for around the $1,000 - $1,500 mark?

The workshop trying to source a turbo for me cant get onto any turbo's due to them all being sold out right now as we recently just had Jamboree here in QLD.

I'm pretty much after one really URGENTLY!

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
