Thats good to hear Mitch, Whose trade plate ya karnt? Handiest things EVER

was thinkin bout it, but got the biggest f off headache, and got soooo much shit to do!

:)

thats why im goin to watch today and workin on my 31 tomorrow

the new project might not be a skidder but it'll give me a fix to inspire me :cool:

hmmmm so dale has kindly done some research on this turbs i have

sittin here...

Seems its a TD06-17c.

which will apparently be capable of 17ish psi by 3700ish rpm,.....

kinda got my juices flowing!!

not sure what to do now, VG30 or TD06?

100 bucks difference in the 2, i know the VG is in good nic as it will be comin from jeff @ speedlab....

never seen this turbs on a 20 before so makes my decision a little harder

If the TD06 can pull up 17psi by 3700rpm on a 20 I would go that personally. I was trying to minimise lag on an already laggy motor so I chose the HKS 2530 - it's the undisputed turbo of turbos for an RB20 haha.

Good luck with it, interested to see how it goes.

Edit: Never driven one, but I've heard the VG30 turbo is rather laggy on the 20.

jeff had the vg on his 31 rb20, made 220 rwkw with other mods and slid 3rd gear, so must have been half decent.....

i think ill go the TD06, curiosity killed the cat eh.....

if it turns out to be lag city, oh well, i like to learn the hard way lol

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
