Very nice gains!  How does it drive with the new cams by comparison? Dyno sheet is suggesting much better spool - 60kw more at 3500rpm is quite a difference haha.

Who make 268/272 VCT compatible cams, too?

Haven't driven the car at all. Car was meant to do Malalla last weekend (Skyline nationals) but I have some steering issues. Was going to be a good test but yeah...

Comparing the old graph with pon cams to this its interesting the larger cams make more low down power, even though the pon cams are "low down" Would be interesting to run the factory intake manifold and see how much more I would pick up down low.


Camtech are the cams. Supplied through Garage 7.

Did you get a boost graph to overlay?

ie. how much (if any) of the low-down comes from boost delivery.  Presuming a few extra psi will have been a big part in the numbers up top.

Whatever the changes, it's obviously a pretty happy setup and you've hit on a good combination.  Must be painful waiting until the steering is fixed to have a drive.

 

I am keen to take this thing out and drive it, but I have spent so much cash this year to get me out last weekend and its let me down. I'm packing it away until I get back from Bali after the new year and get everything sorted out once I arrive back.

I still need to get a suitable diff to bin the weldy, and get in one of the last 25 boxes Nissan have left in and fitted up.

^ wrong thread guys.

The TD05 16G is an awesome turbo but the wastegate actuator that comes with the turbo is pretty crap - external gate or a different actuator detract from the cost effectiveness and ease of using these but in terms of reliability and performance for the price they would be very very hard to beat

I've read through the forums (hypergear, garrett and this thread) in search for a new turbo and just need a bit of help. 

RB25DET with usual supporting mods ready for turbo upgrade. 

Looking at a garrett gen II gtx3076 ext gate low mount with 0.82 a/r

However I've since been pointed in the direction of Kando/Kinugawa. 

Looking at these two options - 

Kinugawa Gtx3076 

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F292621030784

Or Kinugawa td06-sl250g 10cm

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F292369075155

 

Anyone had experience with either? Will they fit low mount ext gate and which would be better for 300kw or close to on p98? 

I've checkout out hypergear but tuner isn't keen. 

Have scoured the forums but a lot of Kando info is a few years old now. Worst case I'll save for garrett gtx3076 but people have said good things about these and considering the $$, thought I'd research. 

Thanks!

The first one has more compressor capability than turbine.  BB cartridge probably means it would offer better streetable response.  Assuming impeller design is a copy from Garrett.

The second one has more turbine capability than compressor. More open turbine ought to function well on track with generally higher rpm and wider throttle openings.

Both are compromises if you want to fit it to a Neo 25, so depends what you are doing with the car.  They would drive differently if you could run back to back test.

That 20G would struggle to make 280kW on P98.

The GTX probably could exceed 300kW on P98.

Neither would be a bad thing, and it comes down to price.  Garrett pricing for a GTX around 25-2700, you'd hope for better performance and reliability from the real thing.

Have you looked at the BW S256 or S257? Viable alternatives and within the price range of the Kinugawa stuff too.

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
