Received my turbo today, Dam it's a small thing. how do i measure this turbo to see if its actually a 10cm housing and not a 8cm.

The t3 flange has casting imperfections on them and looks shonky. ARTZ housing looks way better condition than mine.

Would it cause any issues and should I say something to Eiji?

looks pretty dodge.

I wouldn't worry about that "imperfection" too much... It's not going to make any difference, but if you are worried just rub it down a little with a small file.

The housings also look tiny compared with a Garrett, it's just because they are skinny

ordered boxing day, arrived today.

minus the pub holidays so not too bad.

thanks for the tip Simon!

tune eta, 1st wk of Feb!

so ~14 days

Do u think a TD06 20g internal gate kando would be too big for a 2L 4cyl engine, lag monster ?

nope , sr boys seem to love them :)

Speaking of build quality, I thought I would post some pictures of my turbo because I have just pulled the front cover off!

This is after half a dozen track days, 3 times on the dyno, a trip to the drags, powercruise, a few motorkhanas and about a year of light driving :)

apparently the TD06 wheels dont work too well in the internal gate housings.

Ive done a td05h-18g on an SR20DE, tuned by Jez, is very impressive yet Im not confident the internal gate TD06 variant would be the same

best thing to do would be to get a china spec trust 3 bolt manifold, then get the 8cm trust 3 bolt rear housing and a decent gate. you would be laughing then :thumbsup:

Whats the difference between the TD05 and TD06? I wouldnt think there is enough wheel difference to make a difference. Is it because the TD05-18G you used was the T518Z rip off so has a different design housing?

Well I just ordered my TD05H-18G. Be interesting to see if backed to back with the TD06-20G. I am hoping I still make 250rwkws and hopefully make at least 25rwkws more at 4,500rpm.

Isn't that a fairly small setup? Found a Kinugawa chart indicating they are good for ~250 crank kW at max.

Hmmm, maybe a t67 would go well on my 31

Or myabe its a bit too ambitious for a stock bottom end rb30e

Thoughts ?

Sounds pretty normal to me, just stick a small cam in it aswell, (something around [email protected]) and some springs ,and you will make good power ,most people stick 3540's .82 on them at least...

If you don't do cam, it probally won't make more than 240-250rwkw, thats about all you will ever get with stock camshaft, regardless of turbo...

I'd try a TD06H 25G 12cm personally, with a auto it would run 10's on a good condition stock bottom end i would have thought...

cheers

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
