Hi i need a new turbo asap and dont really have time to read through all these pages but basically does any of the TD06 turbos bolt to the stock R33 dump pipe? I noticed on Kandos ebaystore they had one that does seem to, it says it uses a stage 3 turbine does anyone have that turbo or know anything about it? I'm really only wanting 250ish rwkw with good responce and was considering a hypergear hi flow as i have a op6 housing sitting around but i just discovered this thread so am now confused which way to go, please help.

The kando highflow is not tried and tested yet, but is the only one in their range which will bolt up.

Your best bet is to send your shagged turbo to hypergear and get someone that many people have bought and know its good.


Bear in mind you cant just slap the thing on and wham get 250kw. You will need an ecu and the rest of the supporting mods.

Correct. A TD06SL2 20G is the weapon of choice if you want to go that way. It has been done and 260 was easily hit on 98 by 2 members... 300 when running E85 with supporting mods.


Bear in mind that requires an external wastegate also, which will need to be plumbed off either the exhaust manifold or exhaust housing. Despite the turbo being $700 odd you should budget up to $2,000.

In light of the above 250kw is arguably better attained from a <$1,000 hypergear 2IU 'standard highflow'. Have a read of the HG thread and you will find user reviews from people who have put them on near stock cars to people who are using them in track cars, good reliable option which will bolt straight back onto the car without further modification (other than EFI type supporting mods as mentioned prior).

Please read the many threads the forum has, you will be able to form your own opinion on where you want to go from there.

I second this....

Yes, it is a hybrid TD06SL2 with his billet 71 and 74mm wheels.

Again you still need to budget at least 2k to have it on the motor, and the above 300 supporting mods are arguably a lot more difficult than the those for 250 (need to move to E85, external gate, so on and so forth).

I know people who have done ~300kw @ hubs from stock EVO 9 turbos as well, as well as EVO3 16Gs with the bigger comp and turbine housings. We are going the non-EVO fit EVO3 spec 16G with 8cm housing so I'm picking we'll be able to make some decent power. The car only has a 2.5bar sensor so we can't get too carried away with boost, but I am sure we'll still get OK results :)

tractor SR's are a long way from 4g63's though.

Absolutely, we're not expecting magic. The old PE1420 delivered all that was needed of it - so as long as the 16G at least matches it's flow (no doubt it won't match it's response) it will be considered a success. Turbo is ordered, hoping it will be here next week :)

Don't break my heart :(

WOO HOO!!

LOL well lining them up might be possible soon, the new bearing carrier for my clutch finally arrived so im getting BUSY.

Regarding cancelling out we're both guilty so don't start :rolleyes:

    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
    • And gone to a new home  
    • 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.
