Stao why don't you try make the TD06 work with you .82 type B housing?

with a little machine work you could be adding a whole new product to the market.

The SS1PU is not a GTRs.

2ndly if you are comparing td06 to a GTRs its never been compared on fair grounds. Install your td06 internally gated in a stock rb20det manifold plus all the EGR and road legal crap you would normally expected to run on a stock setup, The TD06 would not perform any where near a GTRs or a SS1PU.

All supporting mods counts, The turbocharger does not take all the credits.

I hear what you are saying. SO many people carry on that the std manifold is good for 300-350rwkws etc, I have long been an advocate for binning exhaust manifold asap...but others are happy to use it and hold back the performance gains available to them...combined with the fact for the same price of the HKS GTRS you can buy a complete TD06 setup. So based on dollars spent it is a fair comparison.

Anyway , interesting to see more billet results

So I received my JJR 3inch dump today.

It appears that the inlet area of the exhaust is smaller than the outlet area of the turbo. in some places about 0.5cm in width and length about 1cm. I'll try and machine as much as I can but doesnt appear to be that much room.

Thoughts? Will it be much of a restriction?

Heres a pic, not the best

It needs a little die grinding by the looks of it, as does the adapter Stao machines up imo.

Can't the machinist at least round the corners a little Stao? Is it a CNC mill?

All the corners in the .82 B rear housing has been rounded off, The flange area can't be any bigger, its been traced through the gasket.

For the Billet TDxx series to work probably there is a need for a proper exhaust manifold, external gate, and a front pipe. I'll get them sorted very soon.

Stao why don't you look into getting a spacer plate made which accommodates your external gate?

that way you can offer the turbos in external format and the user just needs to make a dump pipe, which you can supply a v band ring and clamp for.

Yeah will def be fixing up the dump pipe

Want everything perfect before I fit it all up and dyno it, rather than going to the dyno and finding out all these restrictions

I should imagine that a spacer between the manifold and the turbo that is big enough to have an outlet for the wastegate will start causing problems with pushing the turbo outward/upward/downward enough to make it start hitting other stuff. Certainly on the factory turbo manifold you'll hit the strut tower after only a smallish push outward.

Ive seen one of those ebay spacers with the 2 bolt flange plate used to mount a precision turbo on a skyline before. It certainly can be done, and if Stao makes the spacer himself Im sure he can also make sure it fits well.

Then again he can just supply housings with a gate port

Dimensionally (in/ex) its the same size as the existing 20g, its blade design that changes. Front cover is the trust style .60

if changes have been made to either inducer or exducer I'm sure stao will correct

Updates:

I'm getting some steam pipe bolton manifold and high mount manifold made overseas as I'm typing. I should have a prototype received by mid next week for trailing and testing. Those manifolds will be available for $300 to our customers assume they perform as expected.

It appears a larger turbine setups would perform better on factory manifolds, I will trail a SS2 in a .82a rear housing on current std manifold for some comparison.

how these going stao.?.are you still going ahead with a cheap steampipe bolt on jobbie?

i'm keen for another turbo, probally a ss2 with the steampipe bolt on if it goes ahead, and stick a gate on the exhaust

housing, just waiting to see how it pans out

cheers

Yes I've fitted the prototype manifold. It is awful, lots of dressing up work required and i'm certainly not impressed with the level of workmanship, the final product I will be selling will be a steam pipe manifold with every thing done to specifications. it will definitely flow much better then a stock Rb25det manifold.

I've re-enforced the the joiner, that is where its likely to crack.

I'm pretty sure this is what some people sales on ebay. The bolt pattern on the flanges for cyc 4 5 6 are all out. it won't fit unless dressed up.

Finally fitted:

By the way any one needs their wastegate opened up? we can perform this service for $120.

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
