TD05 bit of info if you would be so kind

[Nicholai]

Hello all,

Have been looking online as I am thinking of another starlet as I didn't manage to get the full fun out of my first one due to job loss.

Anyway I have been looking online and seen a couple. I am mainly after a MK1 as I prefer them to the others I have seen one online that looks interesting but need to know a few things before I do. I know a few things about these cars but not about this turbo set up. It is running a TD05 what is the difference between this ant the TD04 as I know that is the most common upgrade. It does have quite a lot of upgrades to it which make me a bit nervous as it has done 109 miles without a new engine by the sounds of things the spec is below if you could tell me what you think I would be grateful.

A TD05 is bigger than a TD04, it will spool later but is capable of more power.

Whether you need or want a TD05 is up to you and depends on your power goals, I've been out of the Starlet scene for a while so can't remember exact figures but basically if you're only aiming for just over 200bhp then a TD04 is fine, however if you're aiming for big power then stick with the TD05.

Thank you for that buddy I am grateful. From what he has put in his add the car is kicking out blue smoke so that would be the seals gone in the turbo right. I know there can be other courses but that is the most common.

So I can read the car gets smoky on boost but he has a new TD05 turbo that just needs to be fitted I would say fit it then see if it goes. If it is not the turbo what else could course that?
