So FP are selling their JB HTA for DSMs quite cheap at the moment : http://store.forcedperformance.net/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=FP&Product_Code=NTDSMFPRED&Category_Code=SP

Haven't quite decided which thread it would suit better, but getting one of these into a Kando housing suitable for a Skyline would be pretty interesting - the FP Red in a TD06H T3 housing could be a crap load of fun, full TD06H 25G power with much better response thanks to the 76HTA compressor.

It's an interesting power than the smallest turbine wheel FP use on their DSM turbos is the TD06, they don't touch the SL2...

I have long wondered about the use of an FP DSM item in a Kando housing.

I contacted FP many times asking for a T3 variant but they refused. Told me to build a custom manifold. I also quizzed them on the origins of their 67mm wheel and if it was a TD06H, they denied using a H wheel and would only tell me that it was a 'wheel of their own'.

Quite a PITA if you ask me but I do not doubt that a Kando housing could be made to suit without much effort. Someone SHOULD try it on some sort of 2.5L....... COUGH ARTZ

Don't hold me to this, but I am pretty sure most of their turbos are just off the shelf turbines and they hide the combos - I believe the 65mm turbines are TD06, and the 67mm ones are the TD06H, and that even means the BB core versions (I had discussed with Rob whether it was possible to make a BB core twin SL2/68HTA type beast for a nut case lowmount RB26 twin setup and he indicated if someone were willing to pay....)

The original famed FP Green was just a TD06 with a Garrett 50-trim T04E compressor, a lot of their combos come down to doing excellent turbine to compressor matches as opposed to reinventing the entire wheel - which is a worthy cause if the result is greater than the sum of the parts.

The FP Green HTA in a Kando TD06 T3 externally gated housing, if I am correct - would be a relatively inexpensive weapon for the performance it could offer, which we know the compressor for is capable of 350-400wkw on E85.

LOL, I have one but with the 73HTA compressor. Is a good thing. Tad more responsive than the 20G depsite being 5mm bigger on the compressor and the turbine is a much later model thing with the same basic dimensions as the TD06 65mm turbine but different qty of blades and rake etc.

The L2 turbine simply doesnt have the torque to turn the higher flowing compressors which is why they typically dont touch them. I dont get the fuss over the L2 turbine. I sold mine as numerous L2 setups tuned by the same tuner on the same dyno as my plain TD06-20G got the same result give or take a few kws...if anything mine always pipped the L2s ?!?!?! Maybe on higher flowing setups rather than ashmatic RB20.

If only I can get 10cm housing for it as the 8cm was alight swtich on full boost at something like 3200rpm but nothing over 6,000rpm...and the 12cm made it way too laggy. 10cm is right in the sweet spot...but hard to come across cheaply

Kando 10cm T3 housing is $200 delivered.

Send it to Stao and $150 later it will suit your 73HTA unit.

You mean like this

Sortof, yes - except the 68HTAs will outflow and generously out-response the 20Gs, hell even the 73HTAs out response the 20Gs... as Roy mentioned earlier.

On an RB30 a pair of 68HTA-SL2s would be ruthless. Well twin 20Gs would be too, but you are getting into "BIG turbo" territory

What would be interesting is the TD05-20g with the 9 blade rear wheel and that 68mm billet compressor :)

Edit; found em

http://m.ebay.com.au/itm/271447837223?cmd=VIDESC

You know that wheel is well different to the 68HTA? On that note however, the billet 16G or 18G themselves are pretty potent. Will ponder on how worthwhile a change from a GT-RS they would be, however.

How hard would it be to fit the 68hta wheels to the TD06 if one got the non billet type pair ?

How would the the billet 18g wheel comparing to the 71mm GT wheel of the GT-RS, or even fit the 68hta wheel to the TD05, with the bigger exhaust wheel should let the exhaust side breath out better, even more so for the TD06

What's the difference between 16-18-20g wheels ?

XKALABA just be awares that I have known 2 people so far to have poor results from TD06SL2 T25 IWG housings, and have known none to be successful.

The housings work FINE for TD05H application as proven by a few of us, however I personally ONLY have negative results for the same housing used with a TD06SL2 core.

Food for thought :thumbsup:

    • Cheapest Jaycar one is only $65.
    • Probably best way would be using a proper dB / SPL meter lol Buy one and ship it from state to state to have a consistent test device lololol  
    • Not electric car good of course, it's still just a crappy old ICE
    • Yeah, but the good news is that can all be tuned out...the V37 has excellent throttle response now, and with the tiny factory turbos is pretty quick without lag
    • I did change bodyshops. The most recent place was very fast. I think the trick is to have smaller, simpler jobs. A front end repaint and some (extensive) sideskirt and fender stuff is a 'small cash' job for them. It was expensive but 'worth' it purely cause: 1) They did everything great 2) They did everything fast Get what you pay for maybe? Pictured: Very stock looking car from my very old phone. I did realise that oncoming traffic would probably be like "Oh look at this guy, commuting around in a GTR!" (until they see the side profile). This is the sad state of my fender liners and front fitment with my current stock GTR sized wheels (18x9 +30) This is how the rear sits with a 25mm spacer. I say 25mm because it's actually a 20mm spacer sitting on the studs which are ~30-31mm, and the wheels have a ~5mm cutout. So... this is very not safe to drive. This is the other side.. .with a 22mm spacer. Yes, the studs are ~27mm. Yes they're different both sides. I spent a fair amount of time measuring. This was the old pod setup behind the box in the past. Old vs New Pod she tells you not to worry about:   Turns out I measured this pod filter pretty damn accurately which I was chuffed about. I went for a ~3hr drive for 'testing' reasons up into Healseville hills. Believe it or not, the induction noise is the same between small and large pod. I guess it has more to do whether a pod is *present* or not, and the diameter of the pipe. It does sound very decent in cabin though (and extremely 'smooth') - Though behind the car the exhaust noise is nonexistent now. So uh, it's all for the driver. I'm confident it has to be quieter than @Dose Pipe Sutututu's car. I should test it. Is there a way to do it with an app or something we can both agree on? (we are both very old men now competing for quietest car) I've texted Trent at Chequered to book in to see some before/after. I can now twist the pod entirely out of the engine bay on the dyno to really rule in/out any intake restrictions. And/or remove the pipe entirely which I will probably do for testing reasons. The logs show *maybe* a difference in ambient KPA vs Intake KPA at wot. But I'm talking the difference to -3/4 before to maybe -2/3 now. The tune is not wildly out or even changed at all. The only takeaway I have is the car is on 17% ethanol as it's still got the fuel from the dyno in it. It's plausible that that tune would have resulted in the car erring on the side of being too rich (it was) and right now it seems to be bang on perfect or within -0.5% either side of target. I was tempted to take it to a Drag day to see what MPH it would trap (and tune the car) but then I wouldn't have a number and a pretty line. I may do that after I re-hit the dyno, purely to go to LS1tech and shout about how their dynos are all very inaccurate while my low HP car traps the same MPH as cars with the same setup in the US, who make 375RWKW (supposedly). It was safe to say Mr Mamo was not really happy with me posting the results yet. So I owe it to at least try the intake thing for my own sake and not besmirch people who want to buy a similar USA heads and cam setup and get disgusted that they make lower HP than simple bolt-ons which can be up to the "330rwkw+" kw region over there - Which here equates to about 270kw. (and runs the same 115-118mph)
