If you are running the TD06 only on 1 bar, it'd be marginally faster than a well set-up stock turbo; however it would feel quite faster than before because of the way it spools up.  

only marginially faster?? :(

*** u really have no clue by stating that, at 1 bar the td06 will be flowing around 50lb/min of air where as the stock will only be able to produce 30lb/min max!! Thats a big ***ing difference, like 200hp!

Being a passanger in a car that's equipped with a Trust turbo like the TD06 may give you the impression that it's fast. Unless he was having a nap on the 1-2 change, a coffee on the 2-3 change and maybe a quickie on the 3-4 change, that 111mph is a good indicator of the power. :(  

He didn't have one run and pack up, he had 5-6 runs, out of which the 111mph was the best.  13.88 is obviously is slow for the mph and can be improved on but i can't see anyone else improving on the mph by more than 1-2mph.

It was fast. Not as fast as my car (when I was driving with the old Nitrous kit activated). The test was for me was the cars pulling power in top gear, the speed at which it accellerated. Not 'felt' but, rather 'seen' from the speedo side of things.

At the drag strip you can completely stuff the 60ft and still end up with a good terminal speed. If you drop revs between gear changes by shifting too slow then the terminal is greatly effected. The problem Rob has is that his TD06 has a rotory sized exhaust housing and he's got the standard manifold making for a power band that is a little unforgiving. 111mph from my experience is NOT an indicator of this cars power potential, only an indicator of the average power rob was able to maintain over the 1/4 that day.

Funny thread. If you only read factual posts from people with real experience and knowledge it comes down to 3 pages instead of 10.

Just adding another thing, if i don't flat-change between gears my car is slower than a N/A civic.... but you would think a T51R has more potential than that?

I don't even get close to the Dynajets power figures over here.

WA had a shootout a while ago on a Dynajet and an example was a Datto 1600 made 400 here and 440 the next morning on the Dyno jet.The same Dyno read 735hp in a Silvia that ran 13.6@190kmh all night with a good driver,so don't compare a DD dyno to a Dynajet. My Dyno has a reputation for reading low in WA but i think the others are high.

Got boosts run was 4mph faster than robs on nittos and with a good driver so the potential for Robs car is huge if we get some Nittos on the back and a driver thats had more time on the track.

Don't forget that Robs car is an R33 so it is a lot fatter car.

Got Boosts car was at the same Dyno day that GTSt Vspecs car was so the power figures are sweet remember 12.01@115mph with 344hp in a true road car is going well, this car has more to give with rear end setup.

Not wantng to throw mud but this is pretty far from the truth. My RB20 with std turbo and 14psi went ok:rolleyes:

With the TD06 at 8psi it use to spin its head off thru 1st & 2nd gears on well used tyres. It was still quicker then my old setup. Now with new but still crappy rubber it now has pretty good traction and pulls hard to 8500rpm and would leave any std turbo RB20 for dead, all this at 8psi with plenty of work still to do until i get the most out of it at 8psi, let alone the 15-20psi i hope to get away with.

Your even more critical of your car then i am of mine. It goes well considering you aint using any revs or boost. Its still quick and the sound the thing makes justifies its place in any engine bay. :P

Steve,

You are a pretty harsh judge, i won't be able to sleep now.

A brief search on google showed me the flow capability of the TD06, I must say it's a bit more than i thought on paper. In real life i've seen two of them make 535rwhp at 20 psi on 3lt hence the reason i doubted 344rwhp at 14.5 psi on 2.5 lt, with one. The obvious reason here is both cars have been on different dynos and one is reading quite a bit more than what i am used to.

EDIT: And don't you worry, as soon as i get of my P's i will start to modify my car as well.

Great another skyline driver on P's :P No wonder the insurance premiums are so ****ed.

My comment was put there to see what sort of responses i'd get. Certainly didn't expect you to reply the way you have, pretty much straight after your incident. FYI: I have a maximum no claim bonus.

PS: The reason i can't start to modify my car is not because of the insurance, but my dad won't let me before i get off my P's.:)

Denjam,

As i just found out, the maximum amount of air TD06 can push on 1 bar is 44 lb/min, but a stock RB25 can only make use of 39lb/min @ 7k rpm.

Roy,

How much power are you making with the TD06 @ 8 psi and how much did you make with a stock turbo @ 14 psi...?

Emre,

Totally off topic but how does one acquire a maximum no claim bonus whilst on P's? I've been driving for years with no incident and just got to maximum no claim. I sure as hell was no where near it when on my P's!

The only way you could have maximum no claim bonus was if your daddy was insuring your vehicle for you. I admit I am a very stereotypical person, but thats because I see it all the time where I work. My accident has nothing to do with my skill level, I just didnt simply see the roundabout, if anything my skill level saved me from doing more damage to the car.

I dont know...my car has never been on a dyno. Pure guesswork i think my car had about 145-155rwkws with stock turbo, and has about 170-185rwkws now with the TD06 at 8psi.

I think rev210 touched on it, you only have to look at the speedo in 3rd and 4th gear to see how the thing accelerates MUCH quicker then the std turbo to know its got way more poke.

Those numbers could be way off, but they are only numbers... the car is quick enough for me now so if that number is 180rwkws or 230rwkws i dont care.

Disregard my dribble which appears in italics

When i get my new flux capacitor im hoping for this much

...if im still short of this power figure then i may switch from premium unleaded to spent uranium rods as myu fuel source:rolleyes:

STeve-SST that was an attempt at humour! i am aware that his isnt a twin setup, and i wasnt comparing it to a twin setup

Disregard my dribble which appears in italics

...just wanted to point out what could be achieved if you use a flux capacitor and perhaps uranium as a fuel additive![

Sorry!

A serious question though, GTS-t VSPEC what redline are you using... as i imagine if the thing is tuned well then the main concern isnt detonation and piston damage but bent rods etc.

If you keep the rpm sensible perhaps even drop 200-500rpm then i would imagine you could get some runs safely under your belt with std pistons.

Who has actaully had a well tuned std internal engine let go at a certain power figure that could be attributed to std parts. It would seem the RB30 std bottom end is good enough for some very quick VLs.

Haha so let me get this straight. U automatically presume that cos a car has .5lt less displacement that it cant make decent power. Are u assuming that between a 3lt and 2.5lt engine that the only determinants in making power is the boost ran and engine size. That is pretty naive and stupid. U cant comapre 2 totally different engines and then say one cant make that much power cos a totally different engine mad xxxx at whatever psi. Like steve said, u just have shown australia what an idiot u r.

SteveSST and Paul : Man im a believer in the power :)

Roy,

Thanks for the question. My redline is set at 7500rpm, a few hundred above stock, we still think it's quite safe with the relatively low boost we're running, but the plan is for forged rods later down the track:D

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
