Sorry, I thought you were talking about a Landy Disco.
TD05 is a great turbo, try to get the one with a 20g compressor wheel. The standard 12g wheel will die early if you give a bootfull. 16g is nice but 20g is better and you'll piss all over any nissan that comes near you (can't believe I just typed that?).
I looked for ages for one with a T3 exhaust flange (that's what the patrol turbo mainifold flange is) but just missed one off fleabay that was rebuilt. Bugger! (pardon the pun)
Denco use the TD05 for the troll and cruiser aftermarket kits and I am almost certain they use the 16g compressor and turbine wheel. I tried to buy one from them in Toowoomba but they would not split a kit. Too bad, spent the same money gettin a turbo that I am just sooo happy with.
If you can get a second hand TD05 and get a 16g or 20g wheel and take it too a reputable turbo shop to be rebuilt, you will not look back. Parts are easy to get and they are a reliable turbo. If your going to boost over 16psi with a TD05, ensure a 360 degree thrust bearing is included!
just done the conversion on my mates 1hz 80, got a toyota ct-26 brand new off ebay for $500 and a 1hdt manifold from a wrecker i think he payed about 2 or 300 for that, just got it all done and it works great starts making boost arount 1200 rpm i think
seirra, ute chop, air locked 60 series diffs, 4-link rear, 3 link front, 35's,18" fox air shoxs, h.i.d's, 6hp high mount,
i have look for a turbo in aust of a bit but the prices are very high so have started looking into the USofA
i have been in contact with a custom turbo shop in Cal
bob from www.turbo-performance.com/
this bloke is fantastic. i told him what i wanted to do and the type of driving
i do and he will build a turbo to suit
im yet to get the full specs but he said somthine about having a disco potato wheel this and some other wheel that so i will post up full specs next week
i was recomended him for a bloke off ih8mud so we will see how he goes
PS. his price to my door is not even half of what i get here and thats with a heap of lines and bits for good measure
sorry for the thread hijak but I have a CT26 on my 13BT so how hard can these turbos?? It is running 11psi now can I go to 18 or 20 ??. I know i have to get pump adj. to suite
yea i have heard of people running them at 18. i think 14 is standard psi on the 1hdft so you would think they should be able to handle plenty more than that
