Kando Dynamics Turbo

[GTScotT]

Yeah you can use the stock manifold on the smaller 20g, but he's right about the rest of it and the question was specifically asking for a 6 bolt option.

if you want a 6 bolt internal gate you will have to look at hypergear. even the 6 bolt 3076s have proven to suck compared to the full custom route.

so long story short if you want a good low hassle bolt on turbo you need to look at a hypergear.

anyone wanting something different or more custom for whatever reason can look into all the other options.

Has anyone used one of the Kinagawa actuators before? Specifically this one:

And if so:

1) Are they any good?

2) I assume this would fit a GTX3071R (A/R .60 front cover)?

3) Is the top of the actuator rotatable so I can reposition the boost input to any direction I like?

Cheers!

I have one of those at home but am yet to use it. I will update that in a few weeks if you can wait.

Its actually a 2 port actuator, just ask Eiji for a second nipple as the thread is there.

You can undo the top and rotate it, yes.

It's a good quality item from what I can see. No issues from me.

Hey guys, finally got my TD05-18G mounted. Just curious, both water inlet/outlets have an "upper" and "lower" ports for the banjo fittings. Are you able to mix and match which ones you bolt into? I.e use the upper for the inlet side of the water lines, and lower for the outlet? I didn't even think of this before bolting it all up.

P.S TD05-18G Ext Gate 8cm 100% won't bolt onto the stock manifold without atleast a 10cm spacer, and longer studs.

did u mount urs to the stock manifold?how long were the studs u used?

[Kane_R32]

Yeah stock manifold, I wound out my studs 2-3 threads to give me enough thread for the nuts (8-9mm in thickness) to bolt down.

If I run into dramas later on then I will try replace them with ones about 10-15mm longer then standard/

[GTScotT]

You can use whichever water ports you want. Even both on the same side works fine.

[methz]

u cannot use the water ports for in and out on the one side of the block.

That CHRA is a copy of an MHI core which has 4 water ports.

On some models they come from factory using 2 ports from the same side.

If Mitsubishi fit em up like that from stock, I doubt they would agree that you cannot do it.

[scotty nm35]

As long as the steam has some way of getting out without getting trapped it shouldn't matter too much. I would make sure the water return is at the top.

[GTScotT]

Agreed.

I can't remember the model name that I worked on where both were on the same side yet the return was from the top for sure.

[Kane_R32]

Does the return on the top only apply if both are on the one side?

[methz]

sorry thought u meant using the water source from both sides of the actual block.

[scotty nm35]

Does the return on the top only apply if both are on the one side?

No, the return needs to be at the top if possible, otherwise the turbo may fill with steam or just hold air in the pocket. I guess it depends on the setup though and how hard it's driven.

Just think of what would happen at the track, the turbo is red hot and will be for a while as you pull back in. The water is barely flowing at idle and if you turn the engine off there is no flow. In this case the water will turn to steam and it needs to go somewhere. It needs to get to the radiator cap to be purged from the system.

The steam and hot water can create water flow if done right using convection to cool the turbo better.

I forget the name of it...but there is a word to describe the principle of water circulation after the engine is shut down. Hot water rises pulling cooler water up through the core so there is actually flow through the turbo after shutting down

i believe its convection

[t_revz]

i believe its convection

I thought it started with hydro... And is used to describe this very principle.

EDIT : thermal siphoning!

[pipster11]

yeah thats a type of convection

[MookRG]

I've fitted my T67 up yesterday and i'm having trouble with the vbands being shithouse and not tightening enough. Mainly the one to hold the CHRA in, it doesnt do up enough to stop the core from moving, I can see this being a pain and having to keep moving it back.

Has anyone else got this problem???

[GTScotT]

That doesnt sound right. It should tighten enough to make the core and rear housing hold solid.

Have you emailed Eiji?
