Hey guys,

we are working out a turbo setup for rb30/25 set up. initially we were looking at a gt35/40 and after chatting to a friend he is saying to look at a td06 Mitsubishi turbo as an alternative. Problem is we have been browsing eBay for hours and you can't easily tell whats a quality turbo and what is junk. If someone has any advice to offer when looking for a turbo or any good Australian sites to purchase a turbo that will get us somewhere in the 500-600 hp mark at the crank and doesn't carry the HKS or Garrett price tag would be be greatly appreciated. If there are any brands you recommend to buy or stay away from don't hesitate to let us know.

There is a thread from simon 32 about a good cheap turbo that he got onto. I think from memory they are called kendo turbos. He has used a t66 with excellent results on a rb25.

It was a fairly recent thread. Should only be a few pages in.

This had alarm bells ringing.

How many times do people have to say - EBAY TURBOS ARE f**kING SHIT.

Get a phone book, look up "Turbocharger", or go to www.yellowpages.com.au

here is another place - http://gcg.com.au/

Or Try googling it. There are hundreds of turbo shops around.

I will say two things to all of you:

The Kando dynamics/Kinugawa turbos actually seem to be an excellent product, especially when looking at the price. The T67 in question provides results inbetween a 3076 and 35R for response and power, cant go wrong for under $1000 delivered. If it fails it is simply a T3 flange turbo that you can replace with a garrett (yet it has been said research found ZERO reported failures on multiple forums).

The second thing I will say is to OP, while the Kando turbos are excellent etc, please DO NOT be a tight arse.

No appear to be Taiwanese/Japanese: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/347726-kando-dynamics-turbo/

People have had good results with these but i don't know how long they have been going. I paid NZ$2100 for a brand new GT3540 and for the extra grand I am quite happy because I only want to do it once. If these Kando turbos had been around for three years or more I might have considered one.

been in al's RB30 with 3076 external and it is absolute nuts, power, response and torque everywhere

form memory he made over 330rwkw and it absolutely flies - send him a pm if you are after exact specs

If you want to go cheaper there are T04 and GT series bush bearing turbochargers that could do the job and not be too laggy .

I vaguely remember a hotted up VL having a T04 60-1 turbo and it was tearing up the tar with 10 pounds of boost and a cammed SOHC head . It did have to have an external gate (mount) welded on its exhaust manifold .

Most are going to have lower temp diesel spec turbines and exhaust housings but that and the plain bearing center section are where the cost savings are .

I am sure you are aware, yet see this thread:

    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.
