its time to choose a turbo for my built 30DET, it used to have a 3582 r china turbo and previously made an easy 330rwkw, im looking for a similar power level, id like a decent responsive set up as the car mainly sees street use, its going to be on e85 so bare that in mind, ive seen lots about the kando turbos so im looking into that, any opinions would be appreciated cheers guys

If it's for predominantly road use I'd consider the GT30 0.82 or T67 10cm would give a decidedly stronger bottom end response.

If it's for predominantly race use I'd go straight to a GT35 0.82 or TD06H-25G 12cm with a good manifold and gate.

None of them are top of the tree but offer good results for modest-moderate $$ outlay.

I take it that the china GT35 didn't perform to your satisfaction?

it will definatly see more street than track as i use the car daily, it sees alway highway use anyway so it will just be cruising more often than not, im not after a huge outlay incase i do want to change to a larger one, i havent used this engine yet i brought it off a guy who had it but it blew the seals in the turbo, im definately feeling the t67 as there is 8 cm 10cm and 12cm rear housing for it

The 10cm should work really well between 2500-5500rpm. A 12cm would push things about 500rpm upwards. Unfortunately they have different outlet flanges so it would take a bit of fabrication work (not much though) to make a change.

A decent manifold + gate setup is highly recommended so you can control boost properly. A scan around various threads will show boost creep to be a common problem.

oh ok the ones i found were all v band flanges though, its got a half decent stainless manifold now, and im looking at getting a turbosmart gate

I got a TD06h-25g 12cm making 460rwhp and its not even pushed hard. it's absolute dream to drive. soo much torque every where. I think anything smaller would just come on way too hard and run out of legs too early.

so its not bad on the street?? thats probably a good thing i wouldnt want it coming on too hard, so which turbo is bigger? td06h 25 or a t67?? cheers mate

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
