I have an RB20 in my silvia with a TD06-19c. It is extremely laggy below around 4500, when it climbs boost very fast. I like the power push, but it is too laggy to use when driving around normally. I read that there are 10cm and 8cm exhaust housings. I also read that the 8cm housing will fit straignt onto any TD06.

WITHOUT taking the turbo off the car, is there any way of knowing if its the 10cm or 8cm? can I just measure the dump pipe to get an idea? and if it is a 10cm will adding an 8cm exhuast housing be a big difference in low end torque?

any help would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Rhys

can you be a little more specific on where it is stamped on the housing and what it looks like? It is a high mount turbo so I may be able to see it if it is in the right spot. pics would be awesome.

you willing to sell the 8cm housing if I dont already have one?

I have both 8cm and 10cm td06 19c housings, the 8 or 10 is stamped on the housing.

No matter what you do this turbo is going to be laggy on the rb20!

Well im making a tad under 150rwkws at 4,000rpm using the African American 20G...so i dont think its that bad considering that a std turbo RB20 only makes peak power what i make at about 4250rpm.

The size is stamped inside the exhaust housing, so you have to take the turbo off. If you send me a few good pics i back my chances of being able to tell what housing it is as i have used both the 10 and the 8 and also looked at usign a 6cm housing (which flat out looked too small for a 2L six)

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
