Td06 20g 8cm On Rb24?

[huddy]

hi there

i'm looking into getting a TD06 20G 8cm for my cefiro - it has a 2.4 RB20 motor in it. currently have a hks 2530 on the car.

I'm after info with people running the TD06 on a rb25 and also rb20 to see if it is suited for my application... supporting mods are - gtr injectors / z32 afm / power fc / full zorst no mufflers/cat with screamer / fmic / fuel pump / pod / bov etc...

this turbo is also internal gate.

PLEASE HELP!

also if i get a good response i may have a hks 2530 for sale located in SA.

thanks

-Matt

no one has a clue on this?

[kidd]

run for your life.............

heheh just look for another turbo kit, had trouble with the internal gate, it just doesnt work, you will have to custom fit an external gate and blah blah, basically spend $$$$ to achieve anything. cost me 3k to get it working properly

get a 2535 or go garret unless u like the noisy wastegates

probably looking at about 260rwkw and boost no earlier than 4000rpm

used to get boost earlier than that but yeah a bit laggy but when it comes on..................whoa!

[huddy]

i've been speaking to a couple people and some have actually said that it may be more responsive than the 2530?

it feels more responsive than the 2530 on normal driving but it depends on what gear youre on, normally had to drop it into second when a 2530 fitted car would only need third to boost up eg when the traffic lights go amber at 60km/h and we cbf stopping

[kidd]

its a good turbo but its old school/plain bearing and engine temps will be pretty high (no water lines only oil lines) and needs external gate to work well but im sure its a direct bolt on on rb20. it stinks too (if u got external gate)

no way..

and ill rephrase what i meant..

boost will start building but you wont feel anything till at least 4k

[huddy]

hmmm ok

was planning on keeping it internally gated...so external gate option is definitely something else i'd have to think about

the car isnt daily driven its track only drift car also.

also is this experience on an rb20?

If you fit an oil cooler i doubt you'll have problems with the engine temperature (assuming your cooling system is in good nick atm).

I think a TD06 with small rear housing on the rb24 will be a bit of a ball tearer to be honest. Obviously less responsive than a 2530 size turbo but not too far behind and a fair bit more top end. I have seen internal gate td05's perform fine so i don't see how the internal gate 6 will have problems.

[huddy]

i have had my cooling system all checked out and reconditioned, and also have a oil cooler setup.

looks like i'm sticking with the 2530 for now

thanks for the help

300rwhp at 1.1 bar with no tune on rb25.... Do it you pansy, cams later if need be...

If you could get your hands on a used 2535 it could be ok . Or since you have the T3 flanged HKS exhaust housing you could buy a Garrett GT2871R in 48 compressor trim - minus the exhaust housing and fit it in your existing HKS exhaust housing . Assuming your 2530 is a Skyline specific one it has the TO4B compressor cover like Garretts GT2871R series uses so externally it would look the same and use the same water/oil/exhaust plumbing and waste gate actuator . The only difference may be the comp cover inlet boss being 3" or 76mm where the HKS 2530 probably had this bit machined off and an adapter bolted on . You could either get this boss turned down in a lathe or use some kind of step down in the inlet plumbing depending on what you car has .

Just in case you didn't know the 2530 and 2535 and all GT2871R series plus a few others use the same identical turbine and bearing housing so the HKS exhaust housing goes bolt . Done the above mentioned way you wind up with virtually a HKS GT-RS but in 48 comp trim instead of 52 trim (better when boost threshold is an issue eg Cu in starved RB20) and without HKS's custom port shrouded comp cover . The 48 trim compressor is less likely to surge than the 52 trim GT-RS but you could get the 2871R's comp cover drilled and slotted so the port shrouding worked TO4Z style if required .

So if you play your cards right this could be a very cost effective upgrade with what is really a brand newin .

Cheers A .

Huddy,

Razor$harp's(mod of some sections) little brother has a R32 GTSt with a RB2.2L stroked engine running a Trust TD06-20g.

unsure what power his pulling but you might want to shoot him a PM.

They arent a bad turbo, though as someone else suggested the internal wastegate versions do not seem to enjoy the success of the external gate types. I think thats mostly due to the exhaust housing design and subsequent dump pipe the internal gate version has to run.

Here is an external gate version on a completely std RB20.

[huddy]

hmmm thanks roy

may do something like this down the track, but stick with the 2530 and see if i can crack 240rwkw with mental power curve!

[Roy]

Give it a go...but if RB25s with cams cant make that power i doubt a 2530 can muster that power out of an RB20. But give it a go, you got nothing to lose and the stuff you do trying will work when you go for the bigger turbz

[huddy]

well i've made 236 previously with stock rb20 / fmic / zorst / 1.3 bar / hks fcd / stock ecu and injectors...

not going to kill myself if i dont get 240 hehe... just a goal. be happier with insane midrange/lower than peak power atm.

cheers roy and like you said can always change it down the track if i want to
