DON'S Twin TD05 Upgrade 56kb beware!

[sn00ze]

Soooo...would I be a 'tard to say this should be a very similar install with td04's?????? I wonder would the rear oil and water lines bolt straight up like yours did..

I'd guess it would be similar..? Maybe slightly less stuffing about with the engine mount at the front? I'm sure Don will have an answer for us shortly

 

[TME_Steve]

Yay! Like Paul I can finally start talking about it, well done, will be curious to see some graphs!

 

[M0R81U5]

Aah, so this is the one I heard all the rumors about?

I think I'll have many questions for you soon Don. So are these the 16G big housing or smalls?

 

[Donkay]

Okay, ask away

Td04 is something id install to do again, smaller size, and wont have to modify front one as much (radiator, engine mount)

Lag when tested at the time i got full boost at 4000 but, let's see what tune is like

Td04, yep, 100% would line up with oil+ water id believe

My td05 is large ( thats right, i can change that wheel to a td06 but no)

Do Not go 20g, my turbs. Are the biggest to fit in there and that was the risk i took and fluked!

haha just remembered, best thermo fan install ever lol. "its stock, all stock officer"

 

[sn00ze]

Wondering whether a shtiv tune with a 7202 would suffice???
I guess if you can flash then why not? As opposed to piggyback/standalone

Also what trim would you be looking for in td04??
Just looking ATM and theres so many...

Pretty sure it's already running a full Haltech ECU.

Yep I read that but was just wondering if you COULD, if you wanted to, run a flashed 7202

 

[jonesyVR4]

You could also look at the Forester TF035's as they are the same fit as a TD04 but are a bit smaller again, however I think you'd get a nice increase over stock turbos still

Ahh, gotcha. I'd put money on the fact considering the 7202/3 ROMS can be modified, they'd be more than capable of running this setup

Yeh I think you're right but just thought could it run aftermarket injectors ok... Assuming you would need them for the power levels 18 psi with td04/5's will have

Some TD04-15T's maybe?

Same looking core and flanges. Still a 250-300hp turbo so should be more than capable of that magic 300awKW that we'd all love

looking tasty. There's just so many bloody trims!! But I think those 15t's looks pretty good.
Looks like I won't beat pauly to it with the Takata green grids...fu&k wheels I know where my tax cheque is going now

 

[Donkay]

That is something ideal to use, top end would still suffice as well as bottom end

Forgot to mention, im running EVO 560cc injectors with re-wired plugs to suit em with changed impedance (easier for future upgrades as injectors ill buy are easier to choose)

Also, hold out before you guys buy the turbo.. wait till i get my car back for photos.. its the front turbo issue... as i had to modify the actuator location, instead of pushing from compressor, its pushing bottom of car up (clearance between turbo and bloc is nil)

 

[TME_Steve]

Flashing the ECU with bigger turbos is my (and a few others I know of) plan. The only issue I see (and it's surmountable) is how much air can the stock AFM flow and measure? Ideally I'd like to run AFM down low and then go to MAP at high load, keeping all that nice driveability that AFM's give you. What I see happening with this is Kenneth writing the code if he beats me to it or someone else beating me to it (I still need more code writing knowledge but it's just time). But maybe the stock AFM measures accurately enough at the flow of a pair of TD04's anyway....

I'm also in the middle of looking at a million compressor and turbine maps so I haven't even picked which turbo's (or turbo) I want yet....

Sorry Don, I'm not meaning to hijack the thread into an ecu discussion, so back on topic

Great developmental work Don, and really looking forward to more pics and info as it comes available. You are a brave individual to tackle this solo on the grass and deserving of success for this reason alone.

You could put your fabrication skills to further use by neatening up the cooler/s mounting and the hose routing with some custom made brackets, although, having said that, a neater install doesnt make it go faster does it!

 

[Madhav]

Good stuff dude, great to see my old gearbox being used to it's full potential.

For a 2.5lt engine to have over 300rwkw and full boost by 3800-4000 rpm is pretty decent especially considering the low cost of the turbos and the relative ease of installation.

Well done mate, can't wait to see more leggies dusting everything on the road.

 

[bradc]

Cool work Now for the dyno graph!

 

[Donkay]

Thanks fellas

Madhav, your project has been the biggest inspiration and i thank you for your thread
(And i blame on your gearbox to encourage me to go all out on the car! Haha)

Also update, spoke to APC today, should be getting car back by end of week
