I know most people here use HKS GT25s but Im about to go down a different path and try the TRUST route :sly:

I was wondering if anyone here can tell me how different specs of TD06 would perform on a RB25DET, in particular the Compressor housing specs between the 17C, 20G, and 25G

The exhaust housing is pretty straight forward: bigger, more power, more lag

What about the the differences between TD06, TD06S, TD06SH and TD06SL2?

The TD06-17C are usually used on high powered SR20s but anyone every tried them on RB25s?

hey got a tdo6 20g with 8cm exhaust housing.. internal wastegate.. you can get 8cm, 10cm, i think 12cm not sure about 14.. but there is a guy with a 16cm i think.. its rob77 he mite post up details. im not sure about any power ratings.. dunt even know about mine.. so if some one could help out please.. im going to convert it to external wastegate i think.. just for the noise (as its a drift car and need all the wank value parts :)) this is going on a rb20 and hopefully isnt too laggy. there was a jms car running a internal wastegated tdo6 19c and he made 306rwkw on 1.6bar with special fuel and ran 235rwkw at a dyno day not sure on boost/fuel etc tho. did run a 11.3 i think on slicks also.. if that helps. oh and that was on rb25/microtech etc etc

How much power you after...a L2-20G is equivalent to a GT2835, a SH-25G maybe too powerful if you want to keep it a street car. I know an Evo with a TD06SH-25G will make 650ps @ 2bars.

Thus the question which is constantly asked, why go L2-20G when the factory Evo turbo can run high 11s and make just as much power (~400ps), same with why go T67 when a TD06 can make just as much. Depends on the car, setup and tuning.

Once my engine was rebuilt with forged pistons we ran up 366hp @ 1bar on a td06-20g 16cm^2 exhuast housing. I had the exhaust housing and dump pipe ceramic coated whilst the engine was in bits and I get full boost by 4300rpm. Do a search on "average power" as that thread has a copy of my dyno sheet. Its such a wild ride now, it goes from ~160hp to ~330hp in the space of 1000rpm. I'd like to try higher boost settings, but without bigger injectors, a decent exhaust manifold (its all bolted onto the stock one) and some cams I dont think its worth it. Only fault I find is the lag, a ball bearing turbo would probably come on boost about 500-800rpm quicker for the same size.

Is that a hunch or something that Steve SST etc has told you. My thinking is that it wouldnt be that dramatic, could be wrong, probably am, just interested to know. In the Garret catalogue, what does the 16cm housing equate to, something like a 1.12 or bigger isnt it?

Buster vs B-Man would be a more vaild comparison, both have ~325rwkw peak (Buster 328, B-Man 323). Buster's TD06-25G/10cm rear had more all over the curve, boost coming in 1,000rpm earlier + a higher peak. B-Man's 3040/1.22 A/R is capable of far more - his is only in initial stages of development whereas Buster's was at it's peak.

(I should just shaddup and let both of those guys post here, but I blabber too much)

have a td06-19c internal gate turbs, has been flowed with garret comp wheel (the std comp wheel was shagged) even so the std wheel is very ugly in its design, and tiny too. Havent actually ran this setup yet but getting close (rb20)

    • Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 馃槄
    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 馃珷    
    • I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
    • I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...
    • But they do so for the other reasons to have a compressor bypass. It's in the name.
