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 :)

    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
