TD42 turbo types. Whats what?

[nissannewby]

Hey Matt,

I am keen as to see this thread evolve as i have very similar questions and keen to maybe do an upgrade on the GUIV. I dont really have this type of knowledge and would be keen as to see what you have to say. let your fingers do the talking mate. Your insight will be appreciated.

I know that there is a comprehensive thread on the other forum but to be honest it is HUGE an a mine field for anyone entering the market. That thread has evolved and is difficult to navigate without reading the novel from the start.

I can do this but it makes it hard to convey when everybodies wants, needs and opinions are different.

The best thing you can have when tackling this sort of decision is knowledge. You need to know your budget, how much power/torque you want and in which way you want this delivered, are you doing work yourself and what your intension is with the setup (towing, beachwork, playing etc etc)

Are you referring to this one?

This was something I was toying with also. I currently have the OEM box, the HPD lid and the HPD maf housing. I though about either selling the maf housing and using the HPD lid, or sell the lot and this would pay for the Patroldocta one. Thoughts?

That is just a shiny version of the standard box lol. It fails to fix the issue that is the oem airbox. The problem is element space, you need a minimum of 30mm all the way around the element. There are plenty of options available these days millweld, radius fabrication, 4by fab etc etc.

But what you explained to me over the phone mate would be good info here. While it kinda makes sense to me on what you said. Having it written down infront of you makes it good as one can read it a few times until it sinks in. Like me. Lol.
Your knowledge in this field needs to be documented...

As for the turbos I will just stick with the basics for the time being.

The ones Mudski has mentioned are the Mitsubishi and garret items.

Now the TD05H part of the Mitsubishi number is its turbine size/design. So this will be the same for 16,18 or 20g. Now that part of the number is the compressor size/design, so a 16 being the smallest and 20 the largest. The 20g can obviously supply more volume so can support more hp.

Now the same is for the garrett. The GT** part of the number is for the turbine side again and this will be the same for that model base. So a gt2860,gt2863,gt2867,gt2871 etc etc all use the same turbine. A GT30 will have a bigger turbine and so on. The other part of the number is referring to the compressor wheel. Now for the most part with the garrett this will be the largest diameter of the compressor wheel. so a 60 will be 60mm and a 71 will be a 71mm and so.

Now with the above I am only talking about the actual turbine wheels and compressor wheels. There is the then the housings in which you attach to this.

There is no reason why you couldnt make one yourself mark. Radius Fab sell most of there stuff through facebook.

Yeah that's the one. Do not buy it. Both AB and I have it and both want to swap it for something else

Apart frpm what Matt has said. Why don't you like the air box? Its surely got to be better than the oem box.... Atleast a little....

Nope. Look the oem one will work for your intended application but I would use a k&n due to the air speeds across the element in the standard box. Even the shiny one. Use it for now and put a better one in later with a 4" snorkel and ram head.
