JelmerPatrol Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I have a L28E in my 84 Nissan Patrol and looking into turbo charging it. A couple of month's ago a friend of mine had a RB25 turbocharger but he can't find it anymore. He came with the turbo that you can find in the attachments. Would this be a suitable turbo for me? I need torque, not 300Hp since it is in a truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xnke Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 TD05-What? The TD05 designates the frame and exhaust turbine sizing, but we have no information on the compressor side of that turbo to help you with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JelmerPatrol Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 When I Google on the 49178-05120 stamping it says this: TD05H-06*18G-10.0 There is also 49179-53030 on the housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizzurp Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 that will definitely do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnickel Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 It actually is probably a perfect size turbo for a 2.8L. That's a Greddy/Trust Mitsubishi housed turbo. Probably from an aftermarket kit for some import car. A 18g Sized compressor realistically supports about 350whp, but that would be at a high pressure ratio (20-25psi) likely on a smaller engine. On a 2.8L where you will make more HP at a lower boost, it will probably run out of breath a little sooner, but still be good for about 300whp under the 15-18psi mark. That turbine housing is one of the only designs for a T3 flange and a TD05H wheel. it's known as a GM style and typically I believe came on the Typhoon/cyclone. They have designs for them in 6cm, 8cm, and 10cm. The 10.0 number is likely the turbine scroll ratio meaning 10.0cm^2 which equates to about a .7-.8AR ratio in Garett world. Run it and let us know how it goes. Should be a good fit.Only thing I'd be concerned about is whether the wastegate is ported enough. it's not usually a very free flowing wastegate passage, so you may get creep if you try to run a low boost. Then again, i don't know how big it's flapper/port is. On the chinese versions of the same housing, they are much too small. Good luck!

Wizzurp Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Yep, you are dead on, it's a 10cm housing/gmc style. Definitely port the gate, most all the mitsu turbos will creep if you are trying to control it low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JelmerPatrol Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) guys, I think this turbo is still to big for my suits. I need 200Hp max, torque is what i'm after. Stock 280zx turbochargers are almost impossible to find in Holland/Europe so that is not really an option.

Wizzurp Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Pick up a cheap rb20 or rb25 turbo, I wish you were local, I'd trade you mine for this thing haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnickel Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) RB25 or 20 turbo is a bang on recommendation. Those things are ceramic wheel smallish turbine T3 style turbos. You can even get a plastic wheel compressor wheel which keeps the rotational weight down as well (to help spool). It is also a ball bearing turbo. This should spool very fast and give you instant torque probably in and around low 2000s. Don't push them over about 260whp though. Be much happier no higher than the stock 230-250 it came with. Seeing as you're in europe, I believe the Skylines are more plentiful there and perhaps available?

JelmerPatrol Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 What do you guys think of this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1984-1989-300ZX-Z31-Garrett-T3-turbocharger-Eurospec-/152008319253?fits=Model%3A280+ZX%2CZXT&hash=item236466e115:g:0aAAAOSwSHZWgZQq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xnke Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Dude, the 18G you had was perfect. Just because you can make 280HP, doesn't mean you have to. A 13G is too small. A 14B is borderline too small. A 16T would be fine. An 18G is fine. Bolt it on and go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtnickel Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Here's a question, did they give you the stock oil feed banjo bolt?? I'm using this turbo on my Honda for fun and want to make sure I have the proper oil restrictor for the ball bearing turbo. If you have they bolt, wonder if you could measure it's oriface diameter for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JelmerPatrol Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 I don't have it. Can I get them from Nissaan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnickel Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I don't have it. Can I get them from Nissaan? The banjo bolt? I'm sure you could order it. However, may not be useful if you're oil feed line kit uses a different AN style of adapters. Often times you can get restrictor adapters with your aftermarket line kit. Though we would both then need to know what size of restrictor. Could just go with what garret recommends for their ball bearing turbos.
