I've got a td06SH 25g 10cm on my 2b5 with stage one cams and no vct. Full boost is about 4000-4500rpm at 19-21psi (shitty gate spring) and get 320rwkw. it feels bit lag, specially when i snap second and the revs drop a fair bit.

Im thinking of changing to 8cm and also to e85, does anyone know if this is a worthwhile change? how much power and what rev range would i get full boost if i change????

Thats a massive fail then.

The stock vct gear can be adjusted by removing it, and a mod available to adjust it from the front when still installed.

Being able to adjust it is in no way at all worth losing vct for.

Make vct work again.

^^ above comments are a bit of a blind alley. OP wants to know about the response capability of his turbo.

Andrew the spec you are running is broadly equivalent to a Garrett GT3576 in terms of impeller sizing and ballpark airflow capacity if not response/cost/durability. If it is an internally wastegated setup then it is possible your response may not be optimal compared to a reasonably well configured manifold/external gate.

Your figures are a bit rubbery to comment on, although the power figure of 320rwkW on petrol and 20psi is quite respectable (compares ok to a GT35 too).

On an RB25 with that turbo, if you made 20psi at 4000rpm you should be quite happy. If it takes until 4500rpm it's still not crappy but you'd hope for better.

However it is not a bottom-end response type turbo and I wouldn't expect much action under 3000. But it should be very strong across 4000-7500 or higher depending on the camshafts you've got. If there is an 8cm housing available it's likely to choke the thing up high, with maybe a 3-400rpm earlier spool. Not really a win-win,

Check out a TDO6SL2-20G 10cm, or the Hypergear version with their "20.5G" compressor. Sticking one of those on; fuelling with E85 should give about the same max power figure with a whole lot better bottom end response.

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
