My 30DET is now running TDO6H 25G, budget build with Hybrid manifold and 50mm Turbosmart gate. Turbine is the 11 blade option with 12cm housing. Tighe camshafts correctly dialled. Track car, chasin

I've wondered that myself - was hoping to update the post but you guys already got there, the fin was bent and the owner tried to straighten it, but broke it off.

ROFLCOPTER !?!?!?! That is all.

I have never seen a turbo have that kind of damage from hitting a compressor housing, they normally just wear down the wheels... Have seen a lot of turbos like that which have eaten bolts/stones etc. so my question is what did it eat?

This.

That looks more like something got through the filter, like a loose bolt or something! I would be pulling the entire intake assembly out to look for it imo.

I had a turbo where the housing and compressor made love, it still boosted but it sounded like a jet engine, probably the loudest whining noise I've ever heard, and yeah it just ground the edges down every so slightly, didn't snap anything off.

This again, I've also had compressor meet housing and got the big jet engine whine!

Bent from something hitting it lol. Myth busted!

I can only go from what I am told but the owner said on inspection shaft play was enough for the compressor to touch the housing

Pretty sure that would happen if something hit it with some RPM.

Naw he said the owner snapped it trying to bend the fin back.

Either way a compressor and the housing it sits in are round, I dont see it bending the one blade by hitting the housing. Impossible.

I also dont see it being replaced under warranty either.. Might want to be careful with an evo in future lol... Considering it was also a 25G compressor I would also assume the motor wasnt factory either.. Might want to be very $$ careful in future.

Maybe the missing piece of fin was enough imbalance to wear the bearing out and give it shaft play?

Almost certainly, but something hitting it, bending fin would be enough to put the bearing out anyway and cause it to eat the housing.

I think as a precaution he should pull intercooler and associated piping out, maybe an hour or twos work at most.

Is he going to replace it with another one? Like someone said, I doubt they would do warranty but they do sell the comressor wheels I believe...

What rear housing was it as well?

It was the SL2 25G item they make for the evo.

Evo 10.5cm twin scroll housing.

so is one of these a viable upgrade instead of highflowing the stock turbo?

which one would i be looking at to safely see the limits of the stock injectors and afm on an rb25 neo?

how "bolt on" are they (need a new dump pipe probably?)

if your sticking with stock injectors and afm probably best off with a highflow as the good kandos are external gate..That said, Im currently swapping out my hiflow for a kando,,you want it..lol..will easy make 220kw on 14psi which is about the limit of stock injectors/afm..speak to Tangles he has much the same turbo on his wagon and loves it

These days it seems increasingly hard to beat a hypergear turbo. These SS turbos are nuts.

The kando's are actually better for more specific applications, like the T67 for big power like what Simon has shown. The 20g is yet to make its mark with anyone, we are still waiting on results from a couple of members (previously including me). Jap dynos have shown 12cm 20g's to crank close to 300kw and stand up stronger than a 3071.. Now we are working with 10cm housings which really have no restriction in seeing 300kw, so the results should be interesting. Certain well regarded tuners have also shown interest in results from the combo, it should be good.

Downside is you need a gate, whereas with HG its all bolt on. I think there will always be tradeoffs between the two, and Stao is limited by the internal gate.. Yet if working on a budget they are both viable, however if stealth fitment is a desired option, the tradeoff (expected to be small) to a HG would be worth it.

only reason I went for a Kando was to do something a little different, seems like everyone has a HG turbo these days..

Im not expecting 300kws though, 250-260 maybe close 300 if I e85 it.. Hareys latest HG result looks good though :yes:

have anyone here tried this?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Kinugawa-Turbocharger-3-Nissan-RB25DET-R33-TD06H-20G-/270789860335?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f0c555bef

would the 12cm be too laggy on a RB25 NEO?

looking for a unit that can be low mounted as i want to avoid the high mount path.

also cant tell the difference between the two apart from the $200 price difference?

target goal is anywhere from 290-300 (more is a bonus) i believe the t67 that simon has would be too laggy for me, so the TD06 would be ideal.

RB25DET NEO

built bottom end

has all supporting mods already.

PULP only, no E85 here

currently running a twin turbo setup but looking for more power and just weighing up costs for upgrading twins VS single big low mount. (So far the low mount ends up cheaper but it is for the turbo to be high mounted which im trying to avoid)

ideally i would like this one but not sure if it'll fit in low mount position?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
