So can somebody who has bought or contacted Kando ask about the 20G-XTR billet wheels and ball bearing, water cooled centres that the US STI gusy etc are starting to run???

If he can use his shaft and turbines on those compressor wheels and cartridges with my Greddy housings...lol could be a killer hybrid

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

And r33_racer or whatever also had around that figure too? Maybe it was 380? (struggling to recall)

Come on dude.. Do you really think such ordinary changes to the thing will alter it that much?

I whole heartedly believe manufacturers would have adopted these technologies 50 years ago when they became available if they were truly that useful.

Read the HG thread, he built some ballbearing turbos then scrapped them because the difference was negligable.

I bought some braided oil and water lines to suit a gt35r on rb25det from Kando Dynamics last week. They were only $80, arrived in record time and look and feel the part. Certainly not "cheap ebay crap" as some have suggested. I'm pleased already and I'll comment more once they are in use.

I hate all this microtech hate I use one with no problems only a little idle hunt everynown and then my car still goes when I put my foot down

Doesn't stop it being a featureless package that has crappy software though. I could put a blow through carby setup on my skyline that would work 'no problems' as well, doesn't mean it wouldn't be shit.

What about when you turn your AC on, does it even have idle air control? If it does does it support AC ?

A bloke I know has LT12 on his ballistic gemini. I downloaded the software from the site to have a look at his tune and the software was substandard to say the least.

Remapping the standard computer with one of those crappy eeprom flashers would be better than a microleb.

The billet wheels are meant to be lighter, and flow more for no increase in diameter. How is that a bad thing? Also the water cooled cartridge is a thing I would like as well.

Dont get me started on BB vs non-BB, I was saying there was more to a turbo then being BB back in 2003 when i went my TD06 instead of 2835 and i copped years of flack for not going HKS but instead going "TRUCK TURBO" {lol, and proud}... so agree on BB meaning little. But a newer compressor that they seem to rate for an extra 20hp that would mean better transient response ... why wouldnt you ask for it...ditto the water cooled centre?????

...that all said, if there was only a few dollars in it, wheels, housings etc all the same....I would still like a BB centre over a plain bearing turbo. Provided the cartridge is of good quality

I recently got a set of braided lines from Kando as well and was quite pleased with the cost, quality and speed with which they arrived.

Being honest, I have seen water cooling an 'optional' core make an ENORMOUS difference to response. I do not know if that was a one off case or if the same can be expected elsewhere though.

Yet I think of it this way, the 20g is a good thing... I consider it to stay a good thing in its original form... What you are suggesting is that they have bored the wheel out to allow more airflow.. Its now a different compressor wheel all together, just in the same size and trims. It is not engineered to be that, it is a 'tweaked' version.... Hopefully a good thing. Yet again I think Stao has tested the same thing and found it to suffer in response (bored out the wheel surface area) read the damn thread!

However if your Trust items are oil only, maybe give a Kando a shot as they come water cooled.

Yeh, the compressors are meant to be new and billet. Some of the US guys say they are mainly a Garret turbo so who knows where the 20G name basis comes from. Some inducate its a TD06L2 turbine with Garret centre and custome compressor...I cant really find out to be truthful.

I want to see you build a blow though setup on a skyline with no problems..:), you'd spend half you time ringing a towtruck to pick you up and draining the motor of fuel because the carby seals let go, haha

cheers

Don't have air con so doesn't bother me

Mines not piggyback it's hard wired in and I'm running VCT fine so I should have that prib when I'm working on mine electrically I undo my battery so there is no power to it at all

Yes well I needed to test if I could force the VCT to click on as its not working, and drive it to gauge the difference. Yet the switchable earth touched ground while I was testing and did a lot more damage than I expected. The stock ECU is fine, just the voltage spike it created rooted the microtech lol

Point is it is a downgrade from the stock ecu and there is no good reason to buy or use one.

I wouldn't say that. My mates gemmi put out 200 rwhp at only 12.5 psi. The engine is newly built and will be eventually be wound up to over 30 psi.

      Not a problem at all Lithium, I appreciate your help regardless. I've pulled a small part of a log where the target pressure was 28psi and it spiked to 36.4psi. I've only just begun using Data Log Viewer so if I'm sending this in the wrong format let me know.

      Sorry had a bit of a week and haven't had heaps of time to follow this, so apologies if I've missed something - any chance of showing a log with the rpm, turbo speed, MAP, and wgdc all in one view? Definitely an "interesting" problem, and while it's definitely worth noting that there was a similar issue with the twins I'd not completely put all bets on the root cause being the same thing.  Keep an open mind, follow the data.

      I built this engine approximately 12 years ago so my own head (brain) is a little grey on the exact hardware in the RB head, however what I recall is. Stock RB25 NEO TURBO Intake Camshaft HKS 260 degree Exhaust Camshaft (R34 GTR) RB25 NEO Turbo Springs  I ported/removed the exhaust stud humps found in the RB25 head so theres less turbulence but it wasn't ported/polished properly, just a hump removal. I've attached two pictures of the before and after to illustrate.     The ECU gets its boost reference from the nipple on the rear of the head on the intake side, behind the fuel rail. The wastegate gets its boost reference from a nipple on the cooler pipe immediately after the comp cover.  Could a decent pressure drop across the intercooler cause the wastegate to be seeing a higher PSI than what the ECU is seeing, and thus it can't control it accurately and quick enough?   We ran a line to the actuator and watched it open and close using an air compressor, while we didn't have a gauge on the line to see when it was cracking open, it was opening smoothly.  I just removed the gate now and even though the documentation says you need to open it in a vice due to preload (which I did), there wasn't any preload on the cap, which is something we noticed straight out of the box as well when new. This silver cap internally is threaded to the actuator rod that runs out the bottom of the straightgate. Not sure how I'm supposed to get this spring out to be frank.. Potentially but everyone else doesn't appear to have to stop at 500kw because of 6boosts design.  I would, but I think I'm getting to that point where if I'm going to do the head and make another 100kw, then I'm going to need a fancy gearbox and quite a few other things and 10k becomes 20k becomes 30k within a few months. I'm not necessarily sold on the idea just yet that the head is restrictive at 4000rpm (and what.. 300kw?) and yet doesn't seem to be restrictive at 7000rpm when it's making 500kw, however I'm obviously not closing the door on that theory.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yeah - Half the problem is I know this sensor actually goes to 150C.. I'm pretty certain it is min of 11C. So still more data required I suppose. It's really quite hard to get the oil temp to 100+ then immediately pull over and take a reading before the temp drops. Annoyingly I suppose the range I really 'want' is likely 80 -> 120C. TBH the ecu can't really *do* anything with it, and the gauge itself is very visible... ...but you know how it is.

      My EFR 8474 Black, made 800awhp on a roller dyno. at 25-26psi. E85. Shaft speed was around 106,000rpm 1.01 rear. The rear is maxed.  6 boost Turbosmart 60mm gate 3.5inch exhaust  Head is worked to the shithouse. Bain racing. VCam. 272 exhaust. RB28 - RB26 foundation.  You have an intake issue. Start getting proper data and I mean go back to the simple things.  - Pressure test your intake - Block off the Turbo BOV, you don't need it.  - Test pressure before and after your intercooler If your head is pretty stock, that is your issue. Especially if it is NA.  Take it off and spend $10k on it.
