I've been waiting around 6months, a little longer won't hurt I guess.

So have you heard that they will release 10cm housings Roy? Or did you mean I may get lucky and come across a turbine housing?

Edited by JLTS13

Have you thought about trying an 8cm? Maybe it wont be as bad as you think.

The 3 bolt flange is said to flow 30% more than a square flange, maybe with a big gate it will work fine and be even more responsive? You could always try.

Gtscott I think that's what I will try, can't see the harm in giving it a go. And I can always change the housing at a later date.

Im interested anyway to see how it fairs against the 10cm on a rb25

And I'm running a 50mm gate so maybe it may help control it a bit

Got a dyno sheet? There has been some interesting discussion on how much the TD05-18G can make. Is yours an external setup or internal? Love to know what it will make on pump :)

Yeah got one but just got to load it up

Internal gate

And I had the same turbo previously on pump 98 made 231rwkw on 19psi but I only had 555cc injectors then so was limited by them not the turbo capable of more with more boost like now

Still ran a 12.5 @118mph at wsid with 231rwkw I'm hoping I can run a high 11 now with the extra 22kw

Your not the dude I met at St Marys station for the .64 housing are you?

Roy I read it on the FP site amongst other places.

Actually its sold lol, collected money for it yesterday.

Im confident theres nothing wrong with the disco itself but its a bad match to the high comp motor and the cams are also shit.

I did say you would make the 250-260 mark mate. A nice result, but like weve been discussing theres possibly more in it with another exhaust housing, probably not worth the hassle tho.

How responsive is it on the street?

so having issues getting mine tuned atm. its only making 230 at 1bar

it hits full boost by 3700 (20psi, my tuner says this is very fast for this size turbo)holds it flat to about 5000rpm and dies back down very quickly to 1bar (gate pressure).

initially thought it was the BOV leaking so my tuner blocked it off and it helps a bit but it still dropping off fast after 5000 rpm.

my tuner has double checked everything and can't see anything wrong with the setup or any loose clamps or hoses.

his conclusion a) the rear housing is too small for it to drop off so fast up top (even if it was the smaller housing, the 8cm it should still hit 250~ and hold boost flat like BSA's results) or b) the manifold is restricting (but its been proven that the stock mani is good for 300 so that rules out the mani).

i did question a few pages back why the kando rear housings were so small compared to Trust/Greddy items but then its the same rear hats on simons T67-25G and he hasn't had any boost issues.

td06sl2-20g

stock manifold

tial wg44mm (1bar spring) plumbed back to exhaust

greddy profec B Spec2

no cat

hybrid style cooler with 2.5" piping

3" alloy intake with 3A racing filter

any ideas guys? pretty disappointed right now.

Have you considered the gate mod to the manifold might be holding it back? I wonder what would happen if it was plumbed off the rear housing instead with an intact manifold.

And that is some pretty rapid spool. Will be interesting to see the final result. Don't forget Jez has the same turbo and housing.

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
