It also stops if I turn the car off turn turn it back on again..Aside from turbo and cooler whole setup is stock standard..Actually just thinking, I did pull the restrictor out of my boost gauge line, this couldn't do it could it

Will do :cheers:

I know he spent a bit of time sorting the cold start so what are the chances it would be fine without the AAC anyway.. I always warm it up before I drive, I don't have aircon and I'm sure there is enough power to run the PS.. So what is it good for really ?

PS does put a lot of load on the engine though, mine used to stall with the NIStune when I turned the wheel at idle.

But the PS switch should allow for that, pretty sure i swapped a few back in my Falcadore mechanics days..... Assume skylines would be similar?

Yeh, but if you didn't have the IAC valve, how would the ECU raise the idle?

I usually try to avoid turning wheel at idle anyway, on any car..drive an old car with np PS and you learn pretty quick to only turn the wheel when car is in motion ;)

Yeh I try to do the same, but to get my front bumper off I have to turn the wheels. I just think it's rather inconvenient NOT being able to, even if I usually avoid it.

just wondering..ive never seen the td05 come in 25g, i was going to go for a 18g but would i see any benefits with the 25g on the rb20?

maybe holds boost longer? longer spool time? so on

TD05H 25G is not something you should go for. The 25G wheel can flow upward of 500HP, the TD05H wheel is stretched at best to be nearing 400HP.

Even a TD05H 20G is a touch of a mismatch, and can often run into surge issues.

FYI the different between an 18G and a 20G is the inducer size. Sort of like comparing a 3076R in 52 trim and 56 trim. Going the smaller will trade a little bit of top end for some spool. In this case both wheels have a 68mm OD but the 18G is a better overall match to the TD05H.

The best way to get a grasp of whats a good combo or not is what Trust have developed and sold as their own kits. In this case either pick the TD05H 18G or the TD06SL2 20G...... One for better low end and midrange, the other for higher end power and midrange. 240 and 260kw respectively.

okay thanks for that, back to the td05 18g then, but is there a way around the drop in power higher in the rev range?

also if i go td06 for more power how much do people usually loose low down as in spool time so on?

So I was just browsing kandos on ebay again and noticed that all TD06sl2 t3 10cm turbos come with anti surge covers now...

Whats going on there??

I haven't noticed any surge issues apart form the huge surge of power when i put the foot down :P

haha tama easier said than done :P having 350 with the td06 is all well and good but i don't want to wait an extra 500-1000rpm for it. td05 for the street and a few track days will make me more than happy.

You wont feel it losing power up top mate. It will haul to redline.

Only difference is how much of the peak power is made and how much spool time is lost.

The TD05 is likely to be quite lively between 3 and 4k RPM with a little more meat than the TD06 from 2 - 3 aswell. The TD06 will probably be very flat from 2 - 3 and get a fairly abrupt rush of power around the 4k mark. Like I said, TD05 will probably go 240kw and TD06 will probably go 260.

This is all provided you set it up right.

I found by applying the KISS theory these were the results I got

Rb20

drifting or hard track = tdo6-20g

street with occasional track = td05-18g

Rb25

drifting or hard track = t67-25g

Street with occasional track = td06-20g

Now there is no doubt other options outside of this but quite frankly, if you can't figure them out by yourself, well your probably punching above your weight... Anyway so what's the verdict on the SL2 fellas..seems it shapes ok to an old HG or a 3071..but is it any better or worse, cause all in all the setup is almost as expensive..

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
