Hey guys, got a bit of an "oddball" setup going on, am doing a remote mount turbo. Engine is a VG30DE 10.5:1 comp, and am looking at a TD06-20G as the turbo. Will be running Water/methanol with no IC, but will only be running 7psi for the first week or two. Would a TD06-20G be too big? maybe choose a smaller exhaust housing then usual?

gday guys, thought id post my results from using one of these turbos

i have a tdo06 20g sl2 8cm rear on my rb20

turbosmart 40mm wastegate

550cc denso injectors

bosch 040 fuel pump

z32 afm

splitfire coilpacks

ebay spec front mount

3inch exhaust

Nisstune

still needs a little tweeking like a new CAS, decent front mount and cam gears are on there way.

Hey mate, I dont think it would be too big. Possibly the smallest id run to be honest.

Yet I dont have any first hand experience with a remote mount, maybe it needs something different.

Wow plots so much different to mine, absolutely nothing happens till 4k then bang, it gains 120kw by 5k..must be fun :D

did you find out if that ring was missing in the gate??

yeah she up and boogies after 4k lol

im looking at jumping on the e85 bandwagon ;)

nuh it wasnt missing all good, is your dyno sheet in this thread mate?

edit; found it, very impressive mate :)

Edited by TJR32GTS-T

+1 more specs on the SR above please, and

JEZ: specs on the motor you recently tuned with the 20g internal gate please.

Its a stock rb25 Running stock manifold. Td06 20g 8cm 21psi on 98 octane pretty aggressive tune.

No vtc yet.

Has since made up a 5 bolt rear housing and boost pressure is safe and stable at 14psi. Should help with flow too.

Retune on 18psi once he gets car rego'd

This is a great turbo to stop getting defected coz it looks like a stock RB25DET turbo with all the japanese on it. Im also loving the fact that you can get about 300kw stock using this babe. Thumps up fellas for finding this masterpiece

8cm will be perfect for you, but if you're only running 7psi, you probably won't get much power and may be laggy.

what is your goal - response or outright power?

nice, i reckon it will be perfect streeter with response and 250-260~ rwkw and can match the similar turbo from hypergear.

i am here. :nyaanyaa:

should be getting the car back tomorrow so fingers crossed for no issues & good results...

Will be pushing it up to 15-17psi and yeah outright power is the goal.

go the 10cm.

the na compression will help spool it up

The below picture isnt a perfect example as the spreadsheet is the combination of my car on two different dynos and two different tuners. The dynos read about the same, if anything the dyno that produced the 8cm result read a little lower then the 10cm dyno. The tuner that did the 10cm tune was not as good a tuner as my current tuner. So that obscures the result.

But even so, I think it paints the correct picture as to what happens when you throw too big an exhaust housing on a car. Unless your car is choking on its exhaust gases, going to a larger A/R housing is a pretty risky way of trying to get more power. Especially with a turo mounted well away from the head. The exhaust gas would not have the same amount of energy after its gone through piping and cat/mufflers etc

If you want more power look to try and get your inlet temps as low as possible, back pressure from exhaust as low as possible, pressure drop in inlet as low as possible etc. Then have a look at your

    • Well.... it's not just "de-oxygenating". If you do that you just have, most likely, ethane. So you still need to do a synthesis step to combine a number of ethanes/ethanols to make circa-8-chain hydrocarbons. And of course you don't want straight chain HCs, because n-octane actually has a negative octane rating (ie, it's worse even than the n-heptane which sets the zero on the octane scale!), so you have to do some tricky catalytic chemistry to synthesise branched HCs. That's all doable - but it doesn't come for free. And.... it starts with ethanol, which is an agricultural product, and there will almost certainly never be enough of that as a base stock to replace the liquid fuels that are in use. You really wouldn't want to be planning to be using any more ethanol for fuels than is currently already used (in E10, E85s, etc). And ideally you'd be looking to reduce such usage, as it is largely wasteful, particularly in the stupid-ole'US-of-A where the corn lobby has organised it so that it's actually primary production corn that is used to make a lot of the ethanol, not by-products and waste, like it is (mostly) elsewhere. So, what I said about needing free-ish energy probably still applies. True synth fuels would be made from H2 and CO2, in a near reversal of the combustion process. In fact, given that the H2 would be split from water first, it actually is a complete reversal of the combustion process. But...energy intensive. The human race burns something like 1 cubic MILE of crude oil, after it has been made into various fuels. Every year. That's a simply stupendous amount of energy. Just assume that the density is 900 kg/m3, and that the calorific value is 45 MJ/kg, then that is 165.9 x10^12 MJ of energy. Or more than 10^19 Joules. You get a maximum of 1 kJ/s per square meter solar radiation falling on the planet's surface, and so if you halve that for daylight, and halve it again for average weather (highly optimistic) and then take ~25% for the very best efficiency of solar panels, then you need about 85.7 billion square metres of solar panels to generate enough electricity to replace that liquid fuel energy consumption. Each panel is about 1m2. That's a rather large number of panels. We also burn about a cubic mile of coal. We also use hydroelectric power. We also use nuclear. We also use a number of other sources, both "renewable" and not. You can kind of ignore the renewable ones (except for hydro, because it will all end up getting subsumed into pumped hydro for storing other renewables, and so it won't be the standalone renewable that it originally was), so we end up needing a multiple of the ground area number that I just arrived at.
    • Corvette thread then? Don't say I didn't predict the future again. "I love the little MX5, I do, but I just want something a little easier to get in/out of, a little more cushy and some power would be nice - I miss the V8 Rumble... I found this clean red C5 for sale recently and..." I'll do you a great deal on the next step, which is one of those but you can fit people in it, too.
    • What about renewable diesel and/or gasoline? I see some projects spinning up like de-oxygenating ethanol to make drop-in compatible bio-gasoline especially in CA. I still think the future is EVs and we should've all gone full throttle on nuclear power after the 1973 oil crisis like France. Despite 15 years of work in CA to reduce the CO2 intensity of generation with renewables our electric grid is still far worse than even "low carbon" nuclear power. ICE is pretty cool when you aren't depending on the stupid thing to be practical and reliable and cheap as possible to get you to work every day. It's kind of like mechanical watches or vacuum tube amps.
    • I just rolled over "my" first 10k km in the MX5 Every time I go anywhere it always ends up in a adventure to look at houses and find some random country roads I've been on leave since early November but unfortunately need to go back to work on 19 January Luckily though I still have a fair chunk of leave left to burn until.... Not that I'm counting 😁
