lol @ and a few skids.

Just get the intake pipe off and check for shaft play. if its anything to worry about it would be that, and it should be excessive to make any noise.

my guess is you have had a pipe shift and its just the sound of turbulence. that OR the turbo to manifold gasket, bolts coming loose.

when my rear studs were sabotaged years back the car sounded like a hektic gum leaf surge slot whistler and then suddenly the gasket let go and it became a diesel. was silent once i changed the turbo gasket.

i have an urgent question for you skyline enthusiats! :)

My car was tuned and running perfectly to suit the old T04E turbo, am i able to drive the car with the new kinugawaTD06 20G turbo without getting it tuned for a few weeks?

It starts and idles fine.

Just keep it on vacuum and cruise conditions and it should be OK.

Don't let it start spooling up though, I've changed cams in a car of mine recently and thought it would be OK to putt around.. Never have I been so wrong. The knock was incredible, am worried ill be pulling the motor my brother just put in the car.

I saw him get tagged with that, nice looking result - 68mm compressor in stock housing is interesting... wonder if they hybrid a TD compressor on there or something funky? No wildly different to a hairbrained conversation GTScott and I had at one point

So it seems no matter what boost we squeeze into the 20G 310rwkws is all she wrote. So the lil TD06-20G has served me well for 10 years in April this year But this week she gets retired.

Whats the verdict on teh billet TD06s getting around. Have any proven they can outflow a 25G yet?

Well I have a 73HTA-TD06L2, TD06H-25G and T67-25G all with 10cm housings. That is probably the order I will try them in as well. If the 73HTA is ncie and responsive and makes good power then will happily flog the other turbos off to try and fund some tyres and track days

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
