Sounds about right, what triggered me to say that was the statement that Kandos are 1/3rd of the price of comparable products and while they are cheaper they are most definitely not 1/3rd. After paying attention for a while I'd feel much more comfortable getting a genuine Borg Warner, Garrett, Precision or Turbonetics turbo and get something long time proven and supported for possibly slightly more outlay.

my decision is based on the item itself more than the price or customer service.

the L2 20g is a good balance for the little SR in my eyes, and I dont think I will get the drivability I want from the PT (5558).

Jez is tuning a SR w/5558 this week so im keen to see how that turns out........... but im doubtful it will show me what i want to see.

Just make sure everything is working mint before you go... I think Sean is going to kill me if another car with a Kinugawa turbo comes in for a tune half put together and not working properly.

Actually I need my car tuned as well, might try and blackmail him into doing mine next week

Of course, I wouldn't have booked it in otherwise. I can understand Seans frustration over that.

Is that just in general, or did he mention my car specifically?

He did my run-in tune without any major drama's. There were a couple of minor unforseeable issues, like the thermo's suddenly deciding they didn't want to switch on anymore, or my spark plugs crapping out even though they were relatively new platinums.

Only things that I have changed since he last saw it, are that the fans are being switched on via the ECU now, and boost controlled by a MAC valve via ECU (As per his suggestion).

Interesting, but that is an old T3/T4 based turbo with a fancy compressor wheel is it not?

I thought the 5558 was something special in terms of being all new gen wheels and what not..

My aim is sub 300kw with as much area under the curve as possible, while sticking to a sensible rev limit (thus the decision to go 256/256 poncams).

I might need to look into these smaller PT's now i guess.

Hahahha in that case Sean is going to hate me in the morning hahahahahah

G'Day Kando Klan, I just ordered a 40mm Turbosmart gate (with 18psi spring) from the US, now need to order my kando - would love 300rwkw and the T67-25G (R34 GTT NEO) but it will be a low mount on stock manifold with cross-over cooler pipes, fully street-setup, hence going the TD06SL2-20G 10cm.

Is this the one I should order:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Kinugawa-Turbocharger-3-Non-AntiSurge-TD06SL2-20G-w-T3-10cm-V-Band-Housing-/290745401163?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43b1c6bf4b

I know this will be very lucky/stretched to make 280rwkw on 98, but theres no other option for a hard-pulling stock setup, from my limited knowledge.. :wacko:

Way too big, I just finished a 6boost/T67 combo for Josh and it barely fit between the rocker cover and the strut tower. The hot side cooler pipes had very tight bends as the comp cover outlet had to point straight down.

That link I posted for the TD06SL2-20G T3/10cm/V Band/No anti surge is the correct/ favorite one? Need to order.. Dont know if I went too big in spring choice for my 40mm compgate - 18psi..

http://www.ebay.com....=item43b1c6bf4b

Plan is to get tired of the td06-20G in two years, get a top mount mani, relocate cross-over pipes, modify/extend dump n plumb-back and order T67-25G comp cover and CHRA -noting the rear housing is same as the SL2-20G.

That is the correct one, and you will be able to do what you are suggesting, with some manipulation of the gate pipe.

18psi spring will probably be OK, might not need a boost controller haha.

hopefully the gate comes with 2 springs, so you can remove one for the tune and then pop it back in for its final run.

You obviously don't k ow how much I have had to spend on fabrication do you Ron..

Yes the Gtx would have been a few hundred more, bit the setup would be much simpler so I wouldn't be relying on alot of welding..and it makes more power..win Win :)

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
