Trust TD05

[R33 Impul]

Howdy PPls

I'm thinkin about upgrading my turbo to a TD05 18G with a 10 Cm2 Exhaust housing. Rate @ 380ps

Is this a good upgrade and what is 380ps in Hp or kw? Anyone.

Thanks

I am fairly sure 380ps is fairly close to 380hp. So roughly 283 engine kilowatts. I am not sure what the R33 turbo is rated at but 283 engine kilowatts would net close to 240-250rwkw at peak efficiency I presume?

Dont know for a fact, but from a little experience with the TD06-20g on an RB20, and dyno results on RB25, i suspect the TD05-18g with 10cm housing will be a punchy little unit that wuth a good tune could muster a nice 200-220rwks at 1.0-1.3bar.

All theory, i wouldnt be too scared about stepping up to a TD06-20G if you have an RB25. Does the TD05-18g have an internal or external gate?

I haven't seen a TD05 with an external gate but that doesn't mean they dont exist.

I think it may be a bit small for the RB25, as i see most TD05 kits for hondas and CA18s, generally stepping up to smallish TD06s on SRs and RB20s
