It's lighter than stock, I think around 1200kg. I'd love to know what the turbo could do "all in" but it's not really an option with the current injectors and MAP sensor, and to be fair I'd say the head gasket/head studs would probably be worth upgrading before doing something like that too.

Still not too bad for a basic setup that has that wide a delivery, I reckon.

This is the dyno plot for ~16-17psi, if you hadn't seen it:

just got my TD05-18g last week...agreed, EXTREMELY quick delivery, was only 3 business days (ordered late Tues night, here first thing Mon morning). Missing the bullet nut I had ordered but they shipped that out quick too and got it today. Trying to fit over the weekend and found a couple of issues.

Longer studs I bought didn't fit as they were m10x1.25, and manifold end being m10x1.5. I did read that in one other post but most other ppl said m10x1.25....wasn't entirely unexpected anyway.

Oil drainpipe it came with is useless, 17mm not 19mm, and way too short to reach. Drilled new holes in flange of OEM drainpipe and used that.

Waterlines were biggest issue. I want to have water and oilcooled, not just oil, but the banjo bolts won't even come close to fitting in the top ports and allowing the hose to screw on. Unless they're pointed straight up in the air which is just ridiculous

have read that both of these ports on both sides are for water, and ok to use either the top or bottom, but the return should be the upper port, is that right?

Andy did you go with an internal gated housing? Interested to hear how this thing performs and if boost control is ok.

I don't rate the hoses and fittings that come with the Kando gear, very little that is useable and anywhere near fits.

I think porting the internal gate Kando turbos is well worth it, it's not that hard at the time and much less of a PITA of the potential situation of discovering you have boost creep, and need to pull the turbo off again.

with vct turned off its dog shit under 5k, with vct turned on its really good still, full noise around 4500rpm

3rd gear roll on from 40kmph up to 4000rpm I reach .4bar with vct off.

3rd gear roll on from 40kmph up to 4000rpm I reach 1bar with vct on.

cant I post link to youtube vid on here?

yeah porting out the watersgate might be needed, will see. To me more of a concern was the chunk that sticks out into the exhaust flow, from where the wastegate port is drilled into the housing.

Bit of work with a carbide burr and the flow is much smoother. The entry was also a bit smaller than T3 size, so ported out to match the manifold rather than leave a lip at entry (looks more even in real-life lol, though looks a bit wavy in pic)post-78602-0-31201300-1392696221_thumb.jpg

Got the opportunity for a power run for the 16G on 20psi, so took it and were pretty impressed with the result - 20psi was road tuned and is the limit of the injectors so not necessarily an indicator of full potential but still pretty sweet. 297kw @ hubs, 20psi hit by 3500rpm:

Never using another kinugawa again had 3 t67s all ex gate 10cm rear on 3 different r33s fail within 2 months (suspect was didn't have 360 thrust bearings) after sending then back under warranty costing $164 each one they are warranting them even tho they are 2 months old and are wanted 350 per turbo to have them rebuilt. What a crock. This is why I should of suggested these turbos over hypergears you cannot compare compare the level of customer service and satisfaction you get from Tao not to mention the countless dollars out of pocket

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
