This project is mainly for Greddy turbo fans, but I don't like copying them in OEM specifications, so I will mix and match wheels plus some customized profiled billet wheels for them to be different. The goal is for dynamic drivability, Modify housings to fit different types of vehicles, and perhaps adding ceramic roller bearing cartridges.

I'll be keen on getting one if it outperforms the standard td05 without the billet wheel as that's what I have now

Also my friend had a td06sl2 in those housings and had trouble controlling boost kept creeping have you fixed this problem by porting the gate or reccommend external gate with the td06

I've had the T518Z billet version finalized today with every thing machined up nicely.

It is currently on 18G compressor with a TD05H turbine. I will machine one more housing using SL2 turbine tomorrow

Depending how they go, you could potentially open up a nice little market for those turbos. I didn't really think about it before, but i was

thinking today

due to all the chinese exhaust housings for these mitsubishi stuff theres a ready made market for subarus in both twin scroll and single,

evos, RB's ,CA, SR, might be others i havnt noticed.

be very interesting to see how your modified versions went on those other vehicles compared to the stock variants

Anyway nice work

cheers

i still don't understand how there are so many nice cast rear housings for the sr20 5bolt dump pattern

yet there are none for the rb20/25 one, stao has to use an adapter to make the 6 bolt dump

I just don't see how Stao can make that adapter cheaper than a nice stainless dump, it's quite a chunk of steel and plenty of machining work just to re-use the dump that may be fitted already.

Surely a 5 bolt stainless dump to fit up to the stock three bolt flange, in 3 inch would be cheaper, lighter and flow better?

So after a weekend of fitting the turbo, apart from the aftermarket manifold fun which set us back 4-5 hours everything was smooth sailing.

Water line was a quick fix and apart from one the of the oil fittings now being short, job was pretty straight forward. Helps having a mate that sorta does it for a living and a workshop at your disposal though.

One issue I am having though and I think other people have had is the dump pipe now sits up hard against a particular rubber house. Air con house or something I think?

Picture below:

What have people done to overcome this?

Being a track car, that rubber hose and whatever is under there is going to burn in about 5 minutes.

Exhaust lagging on the dump with it doubled up where it passes the hose but I'm looking at cutting the dump in half and rewelding at a different angle to avoid the hose and raise the lowest part of the dump.

Prob pull it off next weekend and start figuring it out.

That's the issue with spacing the dump back an inch, it gets pushed back into that aircon drain.

Try some heat shield around the rubber and wrap the dump. Might last a little while before it leaks into the car...

Well I believe the current ATR28 turbine wheels are much better turbine wheel to the TD05H, if it doesn't perform as planed then I will change it. Regarding to the wastegate flapper, I will fit a large 38mm gate to this housing.

That manifold sticks out about 20mms compare to stock, plus I think the JJR dumps do have the issue touching drain pipe. The pipe needs to be zip tied backwards or wrapped with heat wraps.

Hrmm ill see what I can do.

I'll double check but Im pretty sure its hard up right against the entrance hole, so there isn't much movement in trying to tie it hard against the chasis.

Heat wrap might last one session at Sandown Scotty lol

Anyway I've left it with my mate to have a think about what we do :/

Do you need air con for a track car?

Maybe just get rid of it and bypas the hose or something.

It's a track car but still my daily :/

I melted that hose log ago and have had 0 issues with it. Still getting an icy 18 degrees and no water leaks :D

Well that's intradasting.

We might cut another or bigger hole and loop it through.

Will let you guys know what we eventually do!

Hey Stao

Quick question. Do you know if Trent will adjust the boost via the adjustable actuator you have provided on the turbo or via a turbotech boost T that I currently have on the car?

If he just uses the adjustable actuator to control boost ill rip out the boost T out of the car.

Adjustable actuator? Unless there are different springs that come with it... Don't change the threaded shaft position. It needs to have around 3mm of preload, it isn't for adjusting boost.

He would normally adjust it through the boost controller, it gains better response that way. the actuator has to be pulled up tight.

Oh me no know. I just remember another mate asking me the other day lol

Haven't changed the preload on the actuator didn't need to remove in on the install, so its as is from Stao :)

Cheers!

Just need to fix the aircon hose. Do the injectors and afm then Im done!

Just waiting on a booking time from Trent/Cat

Oh and also ordering a new 3inch 100 cell venom 5inch body cat.

Found out my old cat was 2.6inch.

And don't want to run a de-cat dont want a potential $10,000 fine :/

If this is a track car then I think you are worried about the wrong black hose. I would be doing something about the coolant hose going to the heater core that is only a few inches from the no.6 cylinder runner on the manifold you are running

If you run 50;50 coolant and the temps are up over 95 when running and it splits then this can happen to you too :)

End up with ethylene glycol being sprayed onto a rad hot exhaust which can lead to some unexpected, interesting problems :)

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
