OK, so Kando turbo choice for an E85 250rwkw+ setup aiming to use stock turbo manifold? :).

Serisouly , if you are running the std manifold. As big a fan of the Mitsu tubos I am if I had an RB25 and wanted to run std manifold then I would go for http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=tp&Product_Code=GRT-TBO-020&Category_Code=GRT

if you must use a kando to make 250kw on E85............ something is wrong

anyway, you seem committed so good on you. Get the TD06SL2-20g 10cm, it will meet and exceed 250 on E85 with your +T

I'm not sure what you guys are insinuating by 'must use' and 'committed'. The engine is out of the car and I'm looking for something that is comfortably going to do 250+ rwkw on a na block motor running E85 with some heavy use in mind. I say 250rwkw _+_ because i'm not really sure just how far this motor can be pushed, so 250 seems like a good starting figure. There are literally millions of ways to go about this, but i'm looking for something cost effective while still having room to go higher. I am quite prepared to go an external gate setup if it nets me those rewards and isn't cost prohibitive, from discussions I have had so far this is the case. I don't want to go a garret because it is twice the price for seemingly little benefit, that said if that kando is a piece of crap there is surely nothing stopping me from going back to garret (which I currently use in my other skylines).

I have posted in this thread because I am 'interested' and 'intrigued' by the potential of these turbo's; they have the extra leg room over an internally gated turbo (especially when i'm interested in a flex fuel setup and may need to run stupidly low boost settings while on <E85) while not costing the extra that name brand external gate turbo setups might. Obviously unless I have the same setup that someone else has done it is all guess work. In my case I understand there isn't a lot of experience with Neo DE+T's on E85 let alone which specific turbos might be a good choice, and I'm quite prepared to get it wrong. I was hoping someone in here might have a better idea than me :). I appreciate your thoughts on my options because this is my first time venturing off the beaten track, however I do want to make it clear that this car is purely for fun/hobby/toy. It currently lives in a shed with no time limit associated and I am able to do all the work on it myself.

anyway, sorry for the wall of text, the TD06SL2-20G 10cm housing was the turbo I was thinking too.

Yes...if i had of just got that in the first place I wouldnt be where i am now :/

But somehow even when I try to do things properly I end up doing them the hard way...f**k you fate and your friend destiny too....

sorry saruman, I don't mean to be harsh or anything.. Don't take it the wrong way.

Its more or leas that the kando isn't the simplest option and with a +T in mind you don't want to put too much effort into a setup that may not work out.

More or less im confident U will net 280 from a 20g 10cm on e85 but I think you will also do similar using a hypergear G2. The g3 inmentioned prior will net U hopefully 300. You can consider the g2 to be similar to a 3071. I am thinking with exhaust headroom in mind... The g2 has a fairly big exhaust wheel with a 71mm compressor. Like I said sort of like a 3071..

I guess the point here is don't be too committed to using an item that has all custom parts when you are venturing into the unknown. Especially if only aiming for 250... U should get a decent 250 from the g2 on 98ron. And again, mostly bolts on including stock dump. Benefits are there, resale is probably a safer bet also.

So I am trying the FP Green 73HTA compressor on my TD06L2 turbine and 8cm housing. Who is going to give their TD06L2 to ATP in Melbourne for one of their billet wheel upgrades?

I am waiting for a reply to my email at the moment. Real keen to see which of all these turbos makes the numbers or whether all their claims are hype.

Here is the claimed difference between their billet 20G wheel replacement (anodised Gold) and the std 20G compressor.

The above is on an EVO so you could almost add 30-40rwkws for an indication of what it would make on a Skyline

The claim that they also make 30kws more then the FB Green compressor which is a little alarming since that is what I have :( The wheel looks as close to identical to the BBK billet compressors only gold vs blue.

why must you have to tempt me with new things when I havent even got the old thing going yet :/

Thats not the same billet wheel you were talking about the other day is it..It certainly doesnt look as fancy, just looks like the stock wheel painted gold.

if its not too costly I may consider it..in the name of science..after my car is working again that is..

I think we do... There was a 52T 3076 posted with like 370kw, thats 70kw above standard. Simon is a bad example as he believes he is running out of compressor flow more than he is tune scope.

Jez doing 286 on 15psi is also mental... Mick gained 20kw on 5psi less.. who else is there... Its not impossible man especially if your going from pump 98 to something like sucrogen. The ping resistance is nonsense, its like they have discovered how to combust water... Only better and in reality its sugar lol :closedeyes:

And Jez before you say it, im not f*cking filling up with E85 for my next tune :P

    • Mate you saved be from dying in the Perth summer. AC wasn't changing direction and just going into diagnostics mode fixed it. You're a legend and I would shout you a beer if I could!
    • Unfortunately effort gone to waste, you will have substantial issues with how the manifold and wastegate have been integrated. You would be so much better off with a modified stock manifold like this: https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25detexgatedmanifold/   OR literally just getting a off the shelf Sinco or 6Boost manifold as myself and others have mentioned.  
    • Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
    • Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.
