Yes, how long is a piece of string fits well. The better question is what do you want...... Kando has got a lot of cars covered, Evos, Subys, SR20s and generic.

The skyline stuff falls into the generic catagory, which need custom everything that touches the turbo. Custom manifold, custom wastegate, custom dump pipe. Even the internal wastegate turbos kando do will need custom dumps and spacers off the stock manifold.

If you like what you see from the T67, get one and get the bits mentioned necessary to make it work.

If you want it to bolt on and fit easily, have a look at Hypergears current turbos and pick the one which makes the power u want.

At the end of the day its power and method. Some of us would prefer a 20g over the HG SS turbos, fast spool and up to 300kw. There is likely to be little benefit at the end of the day... And it will need a manifold and gate whereas the HG will not.

Answer: if you want less than 300kw just get a HG. If you want 300+ get the T67. If your not sure, also get the HG because the Kandos will need some serious effort applied.

couldnt get a better answer than that! thanks mate.

There you go ladies... TD06SL2-20g T3 flanged internal gate with V-band rear...

Bolt on, get a simple dump pipe made and off you go :)

Should be good for 280-300rwkw with not a lot of lag

the only thing that worries me is the 8cm housing. on a rb25 wouldnt a 10cm be better i dont think the 8cm would quite make the 300rwkw close but not close enough

but im still a little confused before in our conversation simon you said the 10cm would be my best option do you think the 8cm with IWG or the 10cm with external gate would be my best bet

I think Externally Gated is better than Internally Gated in all performance scenarios. The reason people dont it is cost, more complex and legal issues. Yeah I think the 10cm housing is the way to go and Simon's recommendation for you still stands.

Simon is referring to people who have specifically asked about kando bolt on options for an rb25 with standard manifold.

I dont get it , why does it look like the gate is welded up, and where does it exit too..It's also not really a V band housing, its just a normal bolt housing with an adapter... I doubt it would make anywhere near 300kw,..But im happy to stand corrected..

What the hell is that thing Simon..it is a joke right...:unsure:

They exit at 90deg before the weld... Like the old hypergear ones! Yeah it's dodgy but it's better than nothing and for $800 it's pretty decent.

I wouldn't run it but still might be good for some people on here :)

Best bet for 300rwkw like Simon has recommended me the td06sl2 20g with 10cm housing and external gate

What is a realistic cost for this setup. Eg the turbocharger, a manifold, a gate, lines (needed ??) a dump and paying someone to custom make stuff?

Assuming all you can do is fit it up, you can't fab anything yourself. I'm curious how it stands up to an internally gated bolt on garret or a HG turbo.

If this is for a VL I think your obligated to use a f**koff massive highmount turbo lol Seriously though if you want a solid 300kw on bp98 get the t67-25g its not laggy especially in a light VL.

depending on the manifold and gate quality, 2-3k extra.

Will probably have boost creep issues. Like the kkr turbos which have the same style rear housing. You can buy all the parts separately from kando. And could be made to fit a gt30 turbine housing or even an op6 if you wanted to go that way. Another way would be to weld a gate on the bottom of an external gate housing and try and hide it.

Please forgive the lack of spaces etc I'm using my iphail atm

Battery a rb25 in a Vl so it same as a skyline it's a streeter so highmount is out of the question

personally If its a dedicated streeter then I think the stealth benefits of the hypergear outweigh the boost control advantages of the external setup...

    • What are you planning to do specifically?  I would be very surprised if you need to learn any math for these 'few builds' you have planned for the future.
    • I transferred from full time service to Army Reserve, so I still have access, work has been super keen to get me in to work in the OPS realm, so just turning up to use the gym......and ovens, isn't causing any issues, apart from me needing to keep on telling them that I won't be doing any reserve days until I get my joint in Goulburn sorted  Basically I can now work whenever I want, for how long I want now, and it's all tax free Next time we have some fires or floods you might see me covered in mud, or cutting sick in some plant equipment cleaning up, the Reserves love getting in the news, LOL
    • Final finish outcome of 80°c was typical to the pics, I've turned the oven down to 50°c and will pick them up after the gym tomorrow  The before and after difference was amazing, the wrinkle paint has covered all of the casting marks completely It did take a couple of hours to key it all and get in all of the crevices, but, for me it was time well spent for the final outcome, but I have all the time in the world to do it at the moment  Ended up with 4 coats, each sprayed at different angles to get optimal coverage and thickness As for the fixtures and intake box thingo that hasn't made it, the supplier is apparently posting the fixtures, and, are now sending a different CAI that is in stock The replacement CAI is actually better than what I originally ordered, but will require a pod filter that locates under the front bar, still serviceable, but it basically removes the whole OEM filter box and ducts into the front bar, so filter cleaning will require ramps and the removal of some front bar undertray, not a war stopper, just some ramps and an additional 10 minutes work every few months From looking at it it is made from alloy pipe from the throttle body, through the CAI hole in the rad support, then right turning under the bar, luckily the wrinkle paint was on special and I got 2 cans for $30ish, so the alloy will get the same wrinkle treatment as the intake manifold, hopefully it turns up soon, either way, the car will be getting booked in soon, if the parts aren't here, I'll just get MX5 Mania to " make it work"  
    • I'm so glad base security is so high. I see they stopped some random codger from being able to just wander in off the street... 😛   PS, intake looks good!
    • So far so good, another hour and their done
