K's?

Pm'ed

My tuner is a pretty popular one here in Adelaide (not gona name names) but he was not keen on the hypergears a for some reason. I just don't want them to use it as an excuse if something isn't 100% on the dyno for them to be like 'oh we told you hg wasn't the best' - even if its not the turbo. If you know what I mean. Haha ill say its a hg turbo (Honeywell garrett)

I think if ill be maxing the td06 ill go hypergear a internal gated atr43ss2. It will put another month or two on my build but if it gets me to my goal I'm happy. Does anyone know how a hg atr43ss2 int gate would fair against a ext gate td06 10cm with billet wheel in regards to response?

Just because I have a built motor doesn't mean I'm not working on a budget. The motor was build by a family friend when the AUD was doing very well. My forged motor cost a fraction of what the average forged motor would have cost. Are you saying by using the kando range im not 'doing it right'? Because in the kando thread there seems to be nothing but praise for the turbos. I'm aware there are better turbos, and I'm aware internal wastegate isn't the best, but cost is a deciding factor and if I only get 5 years out of the turbo instead of 10 (car is very rarely driven, and not tracked) for a turbo 1/3 of the price I'm happy with that. The car is streeted and regularly pulled over (common in my area) means I don't want to go external gate because if I get stickered ill have trouble in the pits with modded rb25 in my r32. As for the manifold, I said that because the car is getting tuned at the moment with a highflow. The car will be run in with the highflow, then swapped over with something for more power when I re-do my exhaust. If the new turbo (what ever I get) makes enough power and response (even 250awkw would feel insane compared to the 150awkw the rb20 had) ill happily leave it on the std manifold. Basically my question was will a td06sl2-20g-10cm flow enough on e85 to support 300awkw/336rwkw.

I've only ever seen the gtx30 series turbos internally gated for around $1800 and up? Plus there's the hassle of oil/water/dump pipe My tuner didnt sound like a fan of hypergear (unfortunate- Stao seems to know his stuff) apparently they never make as much power as their supposed too and their always laggier than other similar sized turbos. *edit sorry hyper gear Their also $1600+ That's why the billet 3" td06sl2-20g 10cm IG that comes in 'bolt on' option for the rb25 caught my eye, being only $850-$900

After spending 3 hours on the kando thread and still not finding my answer I'm going to have to ask to be spoon fed. My apologies. I've been thrown off the idea of a hypergear turbo by my tuner (and partly the price) and am curious about the kinugawa td06's. I'm after a responsive 300/330awkw with 20psi before 4000rpm, the earlier the better. Car is fresh forged rb25det in 32 gts4 with 256 poncams and e85 + all supporting mods. I'm after internal wastegate and will be on std manifold (however will upgrade - doubt it'll flow 300awkw+) Can't decide between the td06 20g 10cm and the td06 25g 8cm. Will the 8cm fall over in the top end? And will the 10cm make my power goals? Cheers

Going on the car now, will sell in a month or two

Sold. Please delete

$550 plus post firmer than a teenager who's just found daddy's Viagra. Don't low ball me, ill use them as sprinklers for the garden before I go lower.

I've read about 4 pages of it, everything was too contradicting. Some say yes to fully sin, some say no. Some say ester based etc. I'm tossing up between motul 6100 15w50 And penrite racing15 15w50

Does anyone know if regular running in oil is ok to use with e85? And after the running in oil is dropped, what oil can you recommend that's safe to use with e85? I heard some types can cause problems Cheers

That's exactly the setup I'm going for in a few months. Do you have a built motor? I wonder if ill be maxing xspurt1000's at 350rwkw...

Thanks scotty, I still think ill play it safe and get a new rail off ya. Even if there is a good chance it will be fine (I've taken the rail to work and alumi-prepped it and alodined it) which will protect it even more - but I'm still not 100% sure. Not worth the risk of lunching an $8k motor from a blocked injector for a $180 fuel rail. Oh well lesson learnt! Cheers Josh

Bump!

Bump!

I tried that first, but it wasnt strong enough. Needed to be soaked

Turns out stripping the rail makes it completely useless for e85.... Spewing

Why's that? Does anodised stuff have an 'undercoat' F*uck painting

Went out and bought some caustic soda. Worked well. Does it matter if the inside of the rail is now raw?

Just tried bicarb soda, now I have really smooth hands and still a red fuel rail... Gona go try oven cleaner

Really? Bicarb soda + water in a paste and paint it on? Why can't I sand?

Sounds impressive. E85? Yours was ext gate yeah?
