Rear housing sizes, will spool up quicker but run out of puff up top.

Not having a shot. But if you dont KNOW for certain then please phrase a post so its a question.

16G, 18G, 20G are NOT rear housing sizes. They are the compressor the turbo runs. The rear housing sizes are designated in Mistu talk at 6cm, 8cm , 10cm, 12cm 16cm etc etc.

The take away is that the smaller the compressor wheel the less inertia so you are a good chance that it will spin quicker given the two turbos have the same turbine and housings. But then there is the weight, number of blades that all play a part.

Now I THINK ( :) ) the 16G would be noticable to an 18G and 20G in spool. People seem to refer to a 16G and a BIG 16G, with the Big 16G being what Trust call the 18G. (? if someone can confirm this great :) ) There is not a lot of dimensional differences between the 18G and 20G and are basically just a different trim.

I think the fact that the 18G is normally teamed with the smaller TD05H turbine and 8cm housing is the reason why it would generally be seen as the faster spooling turbo, albeit making less power as the compromise.

Wheel Sizes (Inducer/Exducer)

16G - 46.5mm / 57mm

18G - 50.5mm / 68mm

20G - 52.6mm / 68mm

So in an overly simplistic view the 16G would physically be a lot smaller and spin easier. The 18G and 20G are basically just a trim difference

16G

After reading both threads the Kandos SEEM to produce more brutal neck snapping acceleration factor on the street, less issues getting there and seem to love boost and have lot more potential in them, maybe this also has to do with the setups being external gated.. AND theyre half the price of HG turbos (kinda adds up to same with ext gate, custom dump, plumbing etc), but then later down the track u canalways swap a newer better kando turbo cos its cheap!

f**k knows how your comparing them, you must have some skills, theres not even a decent 98 octane dyno sheet in this thread, its all E85 results....

whats the difference in the 16G 18G and 20G with these kando's. would a 16G spool faster than a 20

Those are the compressor wheel sizes. The 16g is normally also available in a big and small trim too, small trim is uncommon from kando so dont worry about it.

The big 16g shares the same outer diameter as the 18g and the 20g (68mm), you can consider them the same wheel in different trims (although they are not quite..).

The 16g will be the best spooling item and is what is used on evo's 3 - 9 (normally capable of up to 240ish all wheel kw). This is a TD05H 16g6 (big 16g)

The 18g and 20g go up in power capability from there, the truth is being a similar wheel they are probably close to as capable as eachother yet working at different boost levels. The 20g will come on a little later and a little harder but will make the highest power on the least boost.

For a fast spool application the TD05H 18g with a healthy rear housing (10cm) would be good on a 6 cylinder and should make an easy-ish 240kw

There are youtube vids of TD06 18g on 1JZ motors available, do some searching. The results are surprising, rather quick and come on very early and smooth. I would rate this to 260kw.

He's a wishful thinker, thats how.

Edit...

Wheel Sizes (Inducer/Exducer : lb/min)

16G - 46.5mm / 57mm : 34 ~ 340hp (The big 16G off the EVO III is rated as 39lb/min)

18G - 50.5mm / 68mm : 42 ~ 420hp

20G - 52.6mm / 68mm : 44 ~ 440hp

So in an overly simplistic view the 16G would physically be a lot smaller and spin easier. The 18G and 20G are basically just a trim difference

16G

Here is a pic of the following wheels side by side: VF40, EVO 16G (Big 16G), 18G, and then the 20G!

Ur pretty clever arent you, the dynos the only way to compare them right, smart-ass? If you were just a bit more smart then you would see in my first sentence that i mentioned 'after reading both threads..'- hence how I compared them, whether right or wrong, thats for anyone to decide and debate as thats what forums are about..seeing as dynos dont really define what it FEELS like to drive.

wait for ARTZ too, his setup is the benchmark in my eyes and i cant wait to see his results.

stock manifold, gate off the housing, good size gate, stock plenum, basic support package. :thumbsup:

Hes taking his sweet time isn't he lol...

If someone wants to lend me a Kando td06sl2-20g and will pay for a tune ill be happy to take my T67 off and give it a try in the name of science!

    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
