So a 3076R 0.63 which is smaller is EVERY way can be ok on a 30DET but this is too small...

i think you are missing the point here! you are saying that the turbo is ramping too early and has no legs up top? im saying too small as in maybe they sent you thr wrong turbo!

a t67 should but upwards of 300+wkw with no issues what so ever!

Hey guys,

In a bit of a pickle, I've got a TD06-20G 12cm on my RB25 and it's a lot laggier than I expected. Although it wasn't tuned on what boost I wanted (20psi), it's only running 13.

I'm guessing that the turbo isn't in it's sweet spot and is taking it's time doing anything. I've been searching for weeks about info on the 12cm but I can't find shit (yes I have searched this thread many times!).

Has anyone run or tuned such a beast on a 25?

It made around 235kw which is decent power for the boost run I guess but yeah wasn't expecting it to have full boost around 5500rpm, any ideas?

12cm rear will add to the lag

chuck a few more pounds into it and see how it perfoms but will def be sluggish under 4k

It's out of the boat yard finally :P

Will more boost change the power curve, i.e turbo start working it's magic earlier? I was looking at two graphs somewhere in this monstrous thread and it seemed this way (same car, two sheets at diff boost levels). But yeah I'm noob with this stuff.

Hmm I wonder if that 10cm would fit.

Is it a TD06S or TD06SL2? That will change what housing you need to buy.

Either way a 20G on a RB25 with whatever rear housing should be running a 10cm.

Your 12cm is just making it doughier without benefit. Easily fixed though as mentioned.

Also, is it a T3 or genuine trust 3 bolt?

It's a TD06S and it is a T3.

Spewing eh! Ahwell I got it cheap ($600 via Ebay special). Atleast it's fixable, just a pain in the arse lol.

I wonder if Raz' 10cm rear would fit my turbo, hmmmm.

Cheers for all the help guys :)

Unfortunately it wont.

The SL2 is 61mm but the S is 65mm. Kando doesnt even sell housings for the S no more.. You are better off selling it as is to someone with a bigger motor and swapping it out for a Kando item. Im guessing its also internal gate with that abortion of a 3 bolt discharge?

Unrucky.

Alternatively, you can send it to Hypergear who will be able to machine up one of his 5 bolt Type B rear housings to make it dance.

i saw trent talking about running a tdo6 (of some description) with 12cm combo on a neo...my guess is it will come on a little later but make hard power all the way to 8000rp+ and then some ...5500 does seem a little ridiculous though..vct working?

So pump it full of boost and rev it hard and hopefully you should see some good results..good for hard sliding anyway...if its a streeter/racer drop it back to 10cm...

Here you go Jez

As far as I know, it's a untouched RB25. Full boost is actually 5750rpm lol, as you can see it's a slug to drive off boost too.

I've spoken to Eiji and they do make a 10cm rear for my turbo so I'll probably get that sometime next year.

Really wasn't expecting it to be THIS laggy, live and learn I suppose.

    • 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?
