is a tdo5 a t3-04? please someone translate this to something id understand better. ive been reading about t3-04 but never a tdo5, is it good for the streets? thanks!

 

That's because Mitsubishi doesn't release flow specs on their products. The only Mitsu turbo that is cpmparable to the T4/T3 is the T67 which is a TD07 Compressor mated to a TD06 exhaust side. The biggest difference is price since Mistu T67's start out at about $2300 and can hit $2800~$3k if you purchase a T67-25g with clipped wheels and coated/ported ex housing.

 

i was told that the td05 is the biggest turbo for the mitsu..so i was wondering if this td05 is larger than the t3-04..im guessing the bigger the number the bigger the compressor? any other ideas? thanks..

o yeh..this person also told me that the BOV keeps the turbo spinning when you let of the gas by letting air in? this doesnt make sense..can someone shed a light? thanks!

 

The biggest mitsu I know of is a Td08 or Td09 (can't remember) but either way, a Td05 is NOT the largest they make

 

Ah, here ya go, a tad bit of info on mitsu chargers. (not neccessarily greedy chargers, but greedy uses mitsu) http://www.vfaq.com/mods/10faq.html

 

a blow off valve only keeps the turbo spinning if you can build a connection from the blow port back to the to the intake tract. usually when the boost relieves and the relief is rerouted, it is called a bypass valve. technically, you could turn any blow off into a bypass. you would just have to fabricate a fitting for a hose or something to go from the port of the blow off back to the intake pipe. doing this, i believe, takes the "blow off noise" away but keeps your boost up a little when shifting and closing the throttle.

 

Actually, the way a blow off valve helps to keep the turbo spooling is that: Whenever U let off the throttle and the throttle plate in the throttle body shuts, the charged air that left the turbo is rushing through the intercooler and heading to the throttle body, it slams into a closed throttle body and then starts backing up in the charge pipe ie going back to the turbo. If there is no blow off valve to relieve that charged air that is backing up it can go all the way back to the turbo and cause the turbo to stand still (stop spinning) this can cause the turbo to fial and even break the center shaft. In the presence of a blow off valve that charged reverting air is routed out to the atmosphere and allows the turbo to continue spooling.

 

thanks for clearing thing up a little more for me..any more thought?

 

anyone..?

 

The TD05 20G is a common upgrade for teh DSM guys! It is pretty laggy, very similar to a T3/T04E with a .82 exhaust housing! It shoudl be able to support about 400 hp, so I would say it's closest Turbonetics counterpart would be a T3/T04E Stage III Turbine w/ .82 exhaust housing & 50 Trim w/ .50 AR compressor!

 

does that mean im going to experience some lag time? my compression is 9.01 and id like to make 350+ hp to the wheels at about 14-15 psi. is this possible? for daily driving im going to be at 8-10 psi..let me know if this td05 is too big for the motor..thanks!

 

Do you have the Greddy TDO5-18G or are you getting just a Mistubishi turbo? What manifold are you planning on running? The T3/T04E will be a cheaper and more effective way of gettig the car to put down 350hp!

 

to add to the last BOV comment...

If the discharge from the BOV is routed back into the intake of the turbo the discharged air will boost the spin of the wheel while the throttle is closed during shifts ( this called a closed BOV system).

TD05's are tiny when compared to the T67, TD07,T78,TD08,and T88 turbos.

 

drealgsr,

Ya, I've heard of that and seen it before. I'm just not sure what the benefits or cons are to it. Can you explain it? I've been looking for that info. Thanks!

 

I'll try to find more info but this really is the best setup for engines with lazy turbos. The sudden addition of air from the BOV will help the turbo to spool faster bewteen shifts. A lot of the Pro racers over here who use normal clutch assisted manual tarnnies go with a closed BOV setup to decrease lag. The AT/True Sequential tranny guys do not worry about this because the throttle is always open during shifts.

 

this guy i know is trying to sell me his turbo kit with the td05 witha custom flange that allows it to adapt to the rev hard manifold. he says that its a big *** turbo..bigger than the one that comes with the drag kits. i know bigger isnt always better but hes offering me a good price. thanks for your replys so far..any other thought?

 

to put it simple... this guys is talking outta the side of his ***. If he thinks TD05 are big he needs to stop using the *** crack that he is supposed to be selling. It is possible to use an adapter to fit a Mitsu turbo on a Garret mani. However those adapters cost $200.

I do know that TD07~T88 turbines and T04 Garret turbos can mount onto the same mani. TD05 and TD06 turbos have a couple different types of mounting flanges with one being of a triangular shape .

The largest TD05 flows less air than a T3 Super 60 and cost 2 or 3 times as much to overhaul.

get pics of this BIG TD05 and post them for us to see...

GTR TD05 18G twin turbos


Look at the triangular flange. Mani for a Supra 1GGT Twin TD05 kit.


Actuated TD06-19C


Ex mani for SW20 MR2. TD06 triangle flange.

T88-34D


T88-34D.. look at the mani flange! It's the same as a T4!


T67.. T4T3 eater... It's hard to see but the mani flange is triangular.


Sorry about all the pics....

it's basically the largest turbo for lawn mowers
go with the better ones drag gen3, rev hard.....
ask anybody???

 

thanks man..those are some real good pics..ill be sure to look out for the flange and make sure that im not gonna get screwed. what do you mean it takes 2-3 more times to over haul? thanks for your help..

 

it cost 2 or 3 times more to OH mitsu turbos over here. It might not be as much where you are....

 

i see..thanks! im going to check it out this weekend and let you know whats going on.

 

will any of the TD07~T88 mate up to the t3/t04 from the drag or rev hard kits?

 

TD07~ will mate to T4 flanged manifolds....

 

So, is that a yes or no about being able to use that instead of the T3/T04 that comes with the drag or rev hard kit?
