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.

    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
    • Might as well pop in some cams, head gasket, head studs, and a flex sensor. Full send.
