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

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

Edited by kidd
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 :devil:

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.

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 .

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.

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 :)

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
