Just bought a td06 20g 10cm ext. gate for my RB , what are peoples experience with using this on the standard manifold?

Is it just a matter of putting in a 12 mm flanger spacer?

Yes and you will need extended exhaust manifold > turbo studs as well.

ran this on my old 34 made 281rwkw @ 18psi.

dyno sheet is some pages back.

if i was to do it again, i'd go high mount with t67-25g

Don't get confused with ppl on NS. The T25 flange housings work mint, no issues. It's those ones that People had trouble with the actuators and nothing else.

the T3 housings with the 3 bolt dump pattern (internal gate off a truck) has proven to suck. Both BSA and another member tried and failed. One was an RB20 one a 25.

I know this thread is 11ty pages long but you actually need to read the thing if you hope to have an idea about the product.

Hi all,

Sorry if this has been covered but after 120 pages (starting at page 1) I couldn't find what I was after and have given up on searching -_-'

Quick overview - R33 RB25det S2 Stock turbo has blown, now buying everything required to get her up and running at 300rwkw+ on 98oct BP ultimate. All the other mods I am ok with (6boost manifold, 850cc injections, greddy style intake etc...) except for two things - Wastegate and Turbo Choice.

Simons write up and numerous results have made the T67 very appealing and I see it's only being released in anti-surge now; that's not the issue though haha!

I just wanted to ask anyone with a T-67, what did you do to have the turbo only running on oil feed? Did you have to weld/close up the water supply lines from the stock turbo? Isn't it better to have a water cooled turbo to keep the oil from 'coking'?

As it is, I'm torn between these two turbos:

T-67

Or

TD06

I'm finding the TD06 more appealing as it is water cooled as well as oil fed. It also seems to have close specs to the T-67 but I couldn't seem to find any recent dyno sheets of performance results. Is it closer to or further from the performance of the T-67? Is full boost still to be expected around 4000rpm from either turbo?

As for wastegates, I have a selection that are available to me and I'm wondering what's best?

(keeping in mind this will be used in conjuction with a 6boost manifold and the target goal of 300rwkw+)

GFB EX 50mm

Or

TiAL MV-R

Or

Turbosmart Hypergate 45mm 2011+ model

Many thanks in Advanced!

Thanks for the replies guys. I decided I'll probably go with a watercooled turbo which, while searching, I found this:

TD06H w/ Garrett T04R

How would this compare to the TD06SL2?

The only difference I can really find is the size of the compressor wheel and the turbine wheel. The T04R has a larger compressor wheel by 6mm and a larger turbine wheel by 6.2mm.

Would I be correct in thinking the smaller wheels on the TD06SL2 would allow the turbo to spool up slightly quicker?

Both are '400-650hp' rated so if the TD06SL2 spools quicker I'd be mad not to go for it as this will be a street build rather than track... thoughts?

Go the oil cooled only T67-25g 10cm without a surge ported front cover.... Loop or block the oil lines!

Plain bearing turbo's don't need water cooling as they hold a lot more oil which is used for cooling.

Waterlines perhaps lol? Yeah I was more inclined to get the T67 but I thought retaining water cooling would be for keeping it nice and cool. I can't seem to find any that are non anti-surge that he has for sale...

    • Ah. OK. I take it back. I hadn't looked closely at the R33/4 arms and presumed that GKTech did as GKTech do everywhere else, which is to use sphericals there. The poly bushings are made to be 100% interchangeable, should use the standard bolt just fine. Every other bush in every other place in pretty much every other car, does.
    • @silviaz Ok cool, so much easier with a video. I can see why this video would be confusing for new players.   It is obvious that this entire bonnet is going to be resprayed, have a look in the background around 2:05, you can see a bunch of bare metal on the left side of the bonnet.  It's not an issue for the primer being laid down on the non-prepped clear on the bonnet. It will be sanded off at a later stage.  This might not be obvious to new players, but working on bare metal and factory paint in this instance, the factory paint is like a mountain and the bare metal is a huge valley. The bonnet needs to be levelled flat before it receives it's final stage of colour and clear coat. During this levelling process, the primer that is landing on the clear that you are worried about will be removed.  Also, this guy is out of control. Zero PPE while spraying, maybe he is a good example overall about what not to do lol.
    • Ok I FINALLY found a video lol. This took way longer than it should have as I could have sworn I saw multiple videos like this. I kept finding the completely opposite (the correct way of doing this). I wouldn't be surprised if I f**ked this up somehow.  I just realised where I've been getting confused and even with other things I work on. I haven't been doing things the regular way instead I'm going a roundabout way of doing things, like putting epoxy primer first then filler for example instead of putting just filler then primer on top of that, then wondering what happens if I get that primer on the clear coat that I haven't sanded yet. This was a bit of an epiphany 馃槀  But anyways, here this video. Time stamp, 2:56, some of the primer lands on the paint unscuffed above. You can see from the reflection it looks shiny.  
    • It does, this part circled in red. I assume the OEM bolt might not work well with the poly bushing because the dimensions may be different?
    • The J arm doesn't have bushes either. Assuming that by "J arm" you mean the part of the upright that runs down from the upper arm's outer bushes to the top of the hub. That has a kingpin style bearing in it. If you meant the lower control arm, it has 1 bush, at its inner end. If you have PU in there, that is superior to Nismo rubber. If you meant the caster/tension rod - it has 1x bush at the front end, and again PU is superior to Nismo rubber. But as I said above, I would definitely get the GKTech arms for that, as sphericals slay all other options there.
