An update on my TD05H-18g adventure:

Installed the Kando T518Z copy today on a SR20DE+T along with a Kando SR20 manifold. The manifold was really high quality for what its worth, changed the entire sound of the car now. The TD05-18g went on without any drama, replacing the OEM S14 T28. All lined up perfect ETC.

The driving experience surprisingly has not changed dramatically. Under 2000rpm there IS a notable loss, however you only notice this when creeping away at those revs. Any level of spirited drive has a near lossless experience.

I would say the T28 is entirely progressive in its delivery, packing its best punch just before 4000rpm. The 18g seems to have equal effect from 2000rpm to 3000rpm, from 3000 to 4000 you get a significant increase in pull from the T28 and at roughly 4000rpm the power comes in thick and strong with a 'full song' effect.

I am very impressed with it so far, am very much looking forward to the full tune with double the boost.

What power are u hoping for Jase?

I have an S14 thats looking to upgrade from stock. Maybe this is what he needs.

Being Nistuned by Unigroup for this one, expecting to see 240rwkw BUT am hoping for over 250.

Have seen a couple of these doing 240rwkw with very respectable boost (16-18psi). As you know Im pretty gung ho so Im going to have them turn up the whick on this one until it starts to cap off.

I would put it as a little laggier than a disco, yet making GTRS power. For the record the delivery absolutely shits all over a GTRS and I'm expecting it will make the same power.

well to give you a idea i had a kando td05h18g on my 180sx sr20det non vct tuned by unigroup on 19psi by 4200rpm and made 231rwkw

^^^thats sounds like HKS 2530 numbers, response samish aswell

cheers

Really? I get the same boost response and more power from the bigger TD06-20G on an RB20 and people are forever telling me the SR spools turbos better then the RB20

Well its typical to what i have personally done and seen on others..Rb20 wise i have no idea, haven't had anything to do with them, i don't even like Rb25's..lol, to laggy... i like

sohc forklift motors..lol

cheers

What gear and what boost?

This is an old dyno sheet of an old tune...but paints the general picture. This is without en EBC, just straight off the gate with a bleed

But generally speaking I make over 200rwkws from 4,500rpm and in 4th gear the gate opens at 4,000rpm

well to give you a idea i had a kando td05h18g on my 180sx sr20det non vct tuned by unigroup on 19psi by 4200rpm and made 231rwkw

Well they better be ready to man up because I want more than that lol

was the 8cm i reckon on a few more psi of boost and it would of cracked 250rwkw but i didnt try as i only had 555cc injectors and had it up to 237rwkw same boost but tuner finished up on 231rwkw and it backed it up at wsid quarter mile running a 12.5 at 117.9mph with a shit 60ft of 2.19

when i changed it had barely any preload on the actuator so thats why it was a bit lazy on to boost

so its definately very similar in power output to a t518z which its the same as

my brother made 240rwkw on 21psi but with the greddy t518z

so if you really want to crack 250rwkw be willing to run above 20psi the suggested boost is 1.5bar anyway

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
