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 220@.50) 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

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
