Ok guys first no flaming and stupid coments.

Now seeming I can't run low mount turbos in my BMW rb26 iv gone topmount twins as iv got some apexi manifolds very cheap only thing is I need to change the flanges to suite whatever turbo I choose. So straight away I need custom dumps and intakes anyway. Now my question Subaru td04l turbos are very cheap but yet a good turbo only really suited to 1.6 to 2.0 motors and my rb26 being a obvious 2.6 would spool these very well now

Pros steel wheeled

Trust bearing

T25 dump patten I'm fairly sure correct me if I'm wrong

Oil and water cooled

Easy flange to weld on

Leaves me with other options of upgrading to other td turbos

Good for 14+ psi

Cons

I have r34 gtr turbos already and picking up a set of r33 gtr turbos next week

Can't think of much else

I would expect around 250 to 280 kw out of these can anyone give me estimated spool times? Also would it be a bad turbo choice just remember I don't want to spend 2g on -5 -7 -9 I'll be running external gate anyway so that gets rid of boost contoll issues td04 has with high boost. Any info will be appreciated

Ive seen Subi TD04s on a 1JZ

was rubbish

I would have a look at some of the smaller kando's

the subi's units mostly have a weird 3 bolt pattern and turbine hosuings that will be too big for a twin application under 3L imo

Yeah been looking at them for the last few days I would get the ones off a ej20 not ej25 not sure if it's different tho I'm not after big power just easy and they won't explode when was the 2j seeing some decent boost?

i be getting some td05/16g or t518z kando units on a rb26..............i got a 2jz going be running twin kando td06's.......td04's are prettty small turbo the 1jz boys max them out pretty quick

I tuned some t517z on stock rb26 today. Alittle laggy but made 331kw. Very fast on the road

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
