SorryYes i do have a tubby it's a small turbo known as a TD04 which is a Mitsubishi hybrid., and thats about as much as i know about it. I have had it refurbed at AET turbos nr Wakey just off M62 and they had trouble getting parts for it as it was so rare(and small). It's a cracking little turbo though, and i absolutely love the feel of the turbo kickin in.Anybody who comes on here is entitled to a free drive. Noooo that doesnt mean you can phone me up the next time ya going on a long trip to the south of France. Besides with it's current fuel consumption you wont want to take it any further than round the block ! |

So exactly what MPG are you getting mate? |
||
| 5Alive |
At a guess bud, im getting somewhere between 20-25 mpg !
Which im not really happy about, cos i think its closer to 20, the whole wideband, emanage blue thing is still screwed up, the fuelling's shagged etc etc. Hopefully when its sorted i will see better fuel consumption. WHEN !! ? |

love the mushroom filter clive! is that brace from an S-Limited?
thats why it grips like a SOB - get some road slicks for it! |
||
| Doodleboink |
The top brace there does buggerall really. It's teh uprated arbs that it's all about. Best £180 you can spend on a 5 IMO. Clive's ride convinced me to get some JRs. Teh seks. |

| andburg |
Those pics are OOOOLLLDDD!!!
He now has a carbing triangular brace with master cylinder stopper and a plumbed in working dump valve! a couple of extra earths and its cleaned |

|

yep my thoughts exactly !!
which is why i bought an old astra diesel for £700 which gives about 50/55 mpg, which i use for work 
|
||
| jim-NA |
Is it a TURBO diesel? 
I recommend everyone get a turbo, I have the Greddy kit/ Mitsi TD04 too, non-intercooled though, still LOTS of fun!
What intercooler you using? just out of interest. |
||
| andburg |
missed this its a univeral 600m wide with 2" inlet/outlets 
|
||
| nathmill85 |
600m wide??? what are you intercooling - a city??? | ||

Ha ha ha ha ha ha someone has the buuuuug !!!!!
I think the T25 comes from Saab's from the 90's, and i vaguely remember Nissan SX's A few asstd links for info http://www.mx5nutz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=19765&hl=turbos http://www.btnturbo.com/catalogue/BTN_Cat_2006.pdf http://www.mx5nutz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=30039 http://forum.miata.net/vb/showthr...6239&highlight=shanghi+turbos http://www.aet-turbos.co.uk/ http://www.mx5nutz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=22176&hl=turbos http://www.mx5nutz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=20680&hl=turbos Dont forget that a min 2.5" straight through zaust is recommended, and an upgrade to 320cc injectors, think mine came from a supra. Oh and a brake upgrade too, and possibly 1.8 flywheel, and uprated clutch
Now let me think. . . . . anything else ? Err dual fuel rail ? Poss boost controller ? ok ok i'm getting carried away now
Lol i wrote all this lot before i added all the links, which have pretty much covered everything. Basically go onto Nutz or FM sites and type turbos into their search engines, and you should be covered. |
