Roy - what about a TD05 20g CHRA, that way you can use your existing Trust compressor cover and intake setup and find a rear housing to suit?

Ill have a look and see if the back plate is the same size, from memory they are.

Want to part with you rTD05-18G, I am after one with the 3" intake

You have 1 without a 3" intake? No sorry mate I have two but they are my new street setup (not used yet) but yeah 3" compressor and 8cm rear. Same housing as a td06 anyway (cheap as from Kando on egay) I have used his rebuild kits on my 06-20g's they are fine. I have about 8 td05's in pieces but pretty sure they are all small compressor housings will check for ya.

Not sure putting a 20G compressor on a TD05 wheel is ideal?!?!? For one, being a bush bearing turbo, doesnt that mean it struggles with larger axial loads when you start throwing big compressors on small turbines...not to mention the basic aero side of things with regards to surge and trying to spin a big compressor with the exhaust gases having very little torque by hitting a smaller radius turbine....lol, i dunno :)

They perform well on wrx's & evo's apparently? never seen one myself. But I agree they would be laggy, What turbo do you have?

I am running a TD06H-20G at the moment. I also have a TD06L20-20G and TD06SH-25G. If the TD05-18G matches up to my manifold, dump and cooler piping which it surealy has to go close then I am tempted to bin the 20G and swap between the 25G i have whcih i know bolts on place of my 20G

I don't know about the flatulence fours but I do know that 20G compressors on TS Evo turbos are not exactly the ducks guts . It is an easy "upgrade" to do to them because the 20G compressor is essentially a bigger trim version of the "big" or 68mm OD 16G wheel they have standard . Swap the wheels and machine the comp housing .

You could possibly liken 16/18/20G wheels to 48/52/56t 71mm compressors in Garrett GT2871R turbos , the largest or 56 compressor trim version of the 2871R is laggy for the same reasons .

Occasionally someone has an 18G compressor put in a Evo turbocharger and its probably going to have half the extra lag that the 20G wheel would .

The issue as Roy said is extra workload on the turbine and it can only hope to develop shaft power at higher engine speeds and exhaust flow rates . I'm not that knowledgeable on various Mitsy OE turbos but I tend to think that the 20G compressor is more likely to be teamed with a TD06 family turbine starting with that TD06SL-2 one .

As I mentioned previously in the States mobs like CBRD (BBK turbos) and FP made up 5/5 bladed compressors . I'd say the reasoning is that 5/5 bladed wheels don't pump as much at a given speed as the 6/6 bladed ones do nor do they place as much load on the turbine wheel/shaft so it can accelerate them up to speed more easily . The result is good turbo response and good mid range power .

Actually FP is using a range of their own billet compressors that from memory have 7 full height blades so even less than the 5/5 (10) or 6/6 (12) . I think they call them HTA which is said to stand for Hydraulic turbine assist .

Its three way juggle of less lag/least compressor surge/good power range . The Evo turbos don't have a port shrouded compressor housing so the aftermarket has been trying to find ways to eliminate compressor surge with these lower blade count wheels . FP eventually bit the bullet and had a port shrouded comp housing made up , I'm not sure how well the 18 and 20G compressors work with these housings or even if they offer them for those wheels .

I think whats happening is that these two firms are opting for custom compressor wheels that no one has access to so their units can't be copied and their pricing undercut . Captive market so to speak .

Anyway enough rambling , the same principles apply no matter who's turbos are used . The turbine and its housing are generally the hardest things to get right and once you do the rest comes together reasonably easily .

I bought a couple of td05,s from a Performance import shop in Brisbane they were 16g but had been rebuilt localy and compressors changed. Was a twin GTR set up also, made big power on the dyno until both turbos broke the shafts. I grabbed them for the zorst housings and have never lookd at the compressors I will measure them now as you have perked my curiosity.

Trent, is this what you are talking about?

I note you stated 330rwkw, what would response be like in comparison to a 3076?

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
