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

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
