Kando Dynamics Turbo

[Harey]

What flange is on your greddy manifold? If its T4 then no.

T3 or 3 bolt then yes.

T67 10cm would be nice on the 2.8, be sure of how much power ur chasing then pick the turbo to suit. Dont concern yourself with picking one to suit your manifold, it doesnt work like that.

+1 a T67 on a 2.8 would be sweet! I would copy SimonR32's setup as much as possible with the 6boost manifold and the Tial MVR 44mm wastegate. Same power with more response would be spaz!

I'm looking for a replacement for my S2 RB25, I've read through this thread but couldnt find a concrete answer, the range of Kandos seems to be a bit tricky. Would something like this (TD06SL2-20g) http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Kinugawa-Turbocharger-RB20DET-RB25DET-2-4-Cover-8cm-T3-V-Band-TD06SL2-20G-/290649134040?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43ac09d3d8#ht_2643wt_922 be ok for a mild setup on my 25? I want an internal gate that will fit on the standard exhaust manifold. Looking for around 250-270rwkw. Would it be alright or am I way off?

I've got a FMIC and exhaust currently but I've got a z32 AFM, injectors, PFC and upgraded in tank pump waiting to be fitted.

Im lookin at the same for my mild R34GTT, but external gate and 10cm housing, 8cm is too small.. They all saying the internal gate one sucks

[TerribleOne]

Yeah how so? Are they struggling at higher boost levels? I'd be interested to find out. I really want to keep the engine bay looking standard. Id be prepared to sacrifice a little bit of power if it meant keeping an internal gate turbo on the stock manifold. But then again if it's going to be really shit I could just get an external gated one and just try to make it look neat.

Is there anything wrong with the 3" anti surge inlet covers?

Reason I ask is I'm look at getting Eiji to make me a TD05-18G with 10cm (its for an rb20) exhaust housing. And the options are either 2.4" normal cover or the 3" anti-surge. Any negatives for the anti-surge cover or reason to avoid? It'll be internally gated as well against the advice of everyone here.

Interested to see how you go with the TD05-18G. I finally scored an 8cm Trust TD05 housing so will grab a Kando TD05 core with 3" Compressor cover. Will throw it on my external gate / 6boost setup whilst my TD06-20G is being rebuilt. Will be interested to see how the setups measure up.

I need to order either of these by the end of the week. Thoughts? Going on an internally std RB20 with 6boost, Turbsomart 45mm gate, Plazmaman plenum and an 8cm housing.

Anti-Surge Cover

Or

3" Cover

The anti-surge compressor turbo has a slightly different turbine. 11 blade Inconel Wheel

The plain 3" cover is dimensionally similar but 12 blade. I think I will go the 12 blade plain comp cover unless some turbo guru tells me otherwise. Is the 11 blade wheel the TD05 version of the L2 TD06 wheel?

Ur brave to go internally gated dude, despite what everyone says- hope it works for u, if it does pple will follow suit, including myself!

Same same, I wana keep it internal too, but i think u can keep the stock manifold if u dont go bigger than TD06SL2-20G 10cm housing.. Which is kinda where im headed, till someone proves that the internal gate works too.. Dont know what the prob is, moreso issues with holding boost n boost creep as u say

If you guys have to have an internally gated turbo then why not go with a proven hypergear??

Exactly.

I really don't understand why people are fussing around with the internally gated Kando turbos when their results aren't great compared to the Hypergears which are working really well IG.

[rondofj]

After reading both threads the Kandos SEEM to produce more brutal neck snapping acceleration factor on the street, less issues getting there and seem to love boost and have lot more potential in them, maybe this also has to do with the setups being external gated.. AND theyre half the price of HG turbos (kinda adds up to same with ext gate, custom dump, plumbing etc), but then later down the track u canalways swap a newer better kando turbo cos its cheap!

Your Hypergear doesn't...

[Hanaldo]

Your Hypergear doesn't...

Well first of all my Hypergear is externally gated. Secondly, I know what the problems are with my car and they aren't the turbo.

Lol

The internally gated TD05-18G 10cm is also available in a Trust kit. Having been passenger in an R32 GTST with one of these and comparing it to my TD06 they are more than enough for the street and deliver a noticeably smoother delivery. But on a 20 still fairly lethal enough to put a smile on your face. The TD05/TD06 really comes alive at 1.2-1.4 bar so screw the boost in I say.

TLDR; nothing wrong with the internally gated TD05-18G 10cm. TD06-20G, id be looking at least at a 45mm external gate (going off the trust kit;s specs)

wtf?????

Go check out the kando thread on Nissansilvia, few guys have tried the internal stuff with very average results...
