Hey guys looking at upgrading turbo and just wondering If anyone has used a td05 setup on a rb20? Some power results with similar mods to mine would be great,

Splitfire coilpacks

550cc injectors

Z32 afm

Bosch 040

Nisstune

Cheers in advance - Trent

Which TD05? I have often wondered what a TD05-18G on a 6boost manifold with external gate wold do on an RB20. I am expecting you woudl get 240-250rwkws with response about the same as a 2530. I keep my out for one as it will be a bolt on to my current TD06-20G setup...would be interesting to trade 30rwkws for response...the question is what sort of response would i gain.

So, cant help with actual results but I think it would be a pretty good setup if you can justify the expense of the $1200 manifold and $500 gate on top of turbo price

Yeah I was thinking 18 or 20 g, which is about $700-800 delivered, which I think are internally gated anyway? The cost all up I think I could justify for good reponse and 250rwkw, might have to look more into it I think

Search for Kando Dynamics on EBAY, thats where you get the said item for $800ish.

As for a TD05, take an evo into consideration. 2L 4pot that can do up to 240awkw on a TD05 16G with boost coming on before 3000 and revving to an easy 8000.

If I was doing an RB20 and could afford a custom manifold, I would grab an actual stock evo twin scroll turbo, from an evo 5,6 or 9 (they have a 10.5cm housing) and would get it fitted up. If it ended up not enough power you can have GTPumps fit it with 18 or 20g compressors OR you could sell the item and get a Kando Dynamic bolt on replacement.

I anticipate you could take care of the whole job for under $3k.

Yeah mate search td05 on eBay and there are alot of results.

Thanks for the feedback GTScotT it's quite possably the direction I'm heading with the turbo upgrade,

I'm gonna ask again has anyone used this setup before and can supply results?

By the way I found a new td05 kit to suit a sr20det as a direct replacement for a t28. My question (may be a stupid question but a question non the less) is would this be a direct swap on a rb20?

Had a td05 20g on my 20det with all the supporting mods,full boost I think from memory was 3800 - 4000ish rpm and pulled farking hard to redline. Don't have dyno sheets but was safe tuned around 18 - 19psi, 320hp and around 700nm of torque.. They are a good lil turbos but the td06 20g is much better if you can wait that extra few more hundred rpm..Lag isn't all as bad as some people make it out to be....

    • THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
    • Light should be a pressure switch, not a sensor.
    • The pressure light likely has a different sender to a pressure gauge, its been too long for me to remember for sure. Just have a look for another sender down near the oil filter. If you are confident in your rewired pressure sender reading correctly, you can be pretty sure it is just the dash light's sender failing, it is a pretty common thing.
    • It would be nice to see the result, but instagram is a click too far
    • That is a series 1 front end (grill, bumper, headlights). I'm not sure if you are trying to confirm if your whole car is series 1 or just the headlights, but the build date and vin# on the plaque in the engine bay would be the best reference for what it was when it left the factory (noting a lot may have changed over the years)
