Td05 16 18 20G Rb20Det

[david69]

Ok I tried to search this but none of the search buttons work for the rb20det page. what is the diff between td05 16 18 and 20g and what is the performance difference on a rb20 compared to rb25 series 1 turbo.only driven on street will have 440cc and nistune.cheers

The inducer size of the compressor impeller is what changes. As you go up from 16-18-20, the compressor basically gets a bigger gulp capacity. Check for a few comments posted by Lithium regarding the TDO5-16G6, similar/same spec as an Evo.

Be aware that there are different TDO5 turbine rotors.

Hardsteppa has played with a TDO5-18G on a RB25 with I believe decent results.

Potentially good units at an affordable price, you can lean on them a lot harder than an aging OEM Hitachi unit off an RB25.

Have played with a couple of RB20s with TD05H-16Gs - actual Mitsi ones, on RB20DETs and give the stock RB25 a SERIOUS run for it's money in terms of response but definitely suited to more power, and generally better suited to the RB20 really. They definitely work very well on them, depends on how much power you are after etc.

Im after round about 260rwkw.just wondering which td05 will do it.

It's old news in the Mitsy world but Hi Flowing their TD05 16Gs with the 18 and 20G versions of that compressor family tends to make them increasingly laggy .

If you search you could find out which Mitsubishi turbos had 18 and 20G compressors standard - turbine wise .

In Evo terms Mitsy went to a lot of trouble to make the engine package work and up to Evo 9 never used larger compressors as original equipment . They actually went slightly smaller in couple of models to make them spool earlier , think one version was called 15GK2 in the TME E6s .

Long short the 16G6 compressor is a good match for the TD05 turbine and makes for a balanced turbocharger wheel size wise .

Are the 1000 buck td0516g kinugawa from e! any good do u think.

Depending on the rest of the setup I think a Kando 16G would be awesome on an RB20 - though I think on stock manifolds, cams and pump gas you'd be doing well to hit 260rwkw (depending on the dyno) regardless of which of those turbos you chose. I am not as familiar with RB20s and what they like to make with given mods so not 100% sure on what to expect there, but I tend to think of them as needing a bit of work to get up to around 260rwkw. I wouldn't count on that power from a 16G but I do think it would be an awesome drive, if what a 16G makes isn't enough then I'd step up to a 20G - personally... not sold on the 18Gs being a worth while in between.

You are aiming at the internally gated one, I assume? We have been playing with the idea of going with a bigger map sensor and trying to see if we can max out a Kando 16G on ethanol at some point - will update the Kando thread if we do.

Thanks for the info.i think I will go the tdo520g that way the potential is there.just hope its not too laggy.will going with a nistune( toshi) 440 gtr injectors 255 walbro 3"dump and z32 afm.

If you are going internally gated the Kandos tend to need some porting on the wastegate as well. As much as I'm not a fan of Stao going into threads about other turbo types and pushing is product, I actually suspect one of the Hypergear turbos might be a better option for the power level and setup you are looking at - if 260kw (or more) is your target. If you are looking at mid/low 200kw and you aren't afraid to do some porting, or have someone who can port the wastegate whole to closer match the flapper then the 16G would be a total winner.

like lith said 18g is what they use on a 25 so why would you want to go the 20g?

18g if your more worried about power

16g if your worried about response
