I've been waiting around 6months, a little longer won't hurt I guess.

So have you heard that they will release 10cm housings Roy? Or did you mean I may get lucky and come across a turbine housing?

Edited by JLTS13

Have you thought about trying an 8cm? Maybe it wont be as bad as you think.

The 3 bolt flange is said to flow 30% more than a square flange, maybe with a big gate it will work fine and be even more responsive? You could always try.

Gtscott I think that's what I will try, can't see the harm in giving it a go. And I can always change the housing at a later date.

Im interested anyway to see how it fairs against the 10cm on a rb25

And I'm running a 50mm gate so maybe it may help control it a bit

Got a dyno sheet? There has been some interesting discussion on how much the TD05-18G can make. Is yours an external setup or internal? Love to know what it will make on pump :)

Yeah got one but just got to load it up

Internal gate

And I had the same turbo previously on pump 98 made 231rwkw on 19psi but I only had 555cc injectors then so was limited by them not the turbo capable of more with more boost like now

Still ran a 12.5 @118mph at wsid with 231rwkw I'm hoping I can run a high 11 now with the extra 22kw

Your not the dude I met at St Marys station for the .64 housing are you?

Roy I read it on the FP site amongst other places.

Actually its sold lol, collected money for it yesterday.

Im confident theres nothing wrong with the disco itself but its a bad match to the high comp motor and the cams are also shit.

I did say you would make the 250-260 mark mate. A nice result, but like weve been discussing theres possibly more in it with another exhaust housing, probably not worth the hassle tho.

How responsive is it on the street?

so having issues getting mine tuned atm. its only making 230 at 1bar

it hits full boost by 3700 (20psi, my tuner says this is very fast for this size turbo)holds it flat to about 5000rpm and dies back down very quickly to 1bar (gate pressure).

initially thought it was the BOV leaking so my tuner blocked it off and it helps a bit but it still dropping off fast after 5000 rpm.

my tuner has double checked everything and can't see anything wrong with the setup or any loose clamps or hoses.

his conclusion a) the rear housing is too small for it to drop off so fast up top (even if it was the smaller housing, the 8cm it should still hit 250~ and hold boost flat like BSA's results) or b) the manifold is restricting (but its been proven that the stock mani is good for 300 so that rules out the mani).

i did question a few pages back why the kando rear housings were so small compared to Trust/Greddy items but then its the same rear hats on simons T67-25G and he hasn't had any boost issues.

td06sl2-20g

stock manifold

tial wg44mm (1bar spring) plumbed back to exhaust

greddy profec B Spec2

no cat

hybrid style cooler with 2.5" piping

3" alloy intake with 3A racing filter

any ideas guys? pretty disappointed right now.

Have you considered the gate mod to the manifold might be holding it back? I wonder what would happen if it was plumbed off the rear housing instead with an intact manifold.

And that is some pretty rapid spool. Will be interesting to see the final result. Don't forget Jez has the same turbo and housing.

    • They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.
    • I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.
    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild. 
    • Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great.
