New turbo is up and running! making 170 rwkw's on under a bar of boost atm, rich as mitures also limiting power, along with the fact i cant wind up more boost cause my EBC isnt holding boost stable abovve 0.9 bar.

So for now, the KKR 430 turbo remains to be an awesome valued bit of gear for the money spent, they spool up very early considering their size, and they come on boost nice and smooth, quite a rush too, i can tell that mine has so much more in it! it just wants to go.

the midrange torque is phernominal. It will happily light up 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th in the dry with 225/45/17's on the back.

To anyone looking for a cheap turbo upgrade for their RB20 or 25, go to http://www.otomoto.com.au/kkrturbo.htm

Have been waiting to here what this turbo is like :P

So it is bolt up to standard RB20 manifold, but requires new dump pipe, correct ?

Sheesh, was looking @ a cheap turbo upgrade option myself and was thinking RB25 turbz but for $900 the KKR 430 looks like a good choice!

Can we get a little more info Simon as per Konect's question, ie fitting etc....

Konect - Group Buy :P ????

lol yeh da KKR Krew Group Buyz :lol:

Light up 4th!... Must be making some serious torque... Time for 1.4 bar :P

I think the only question with these turbo's is how long they willl last.. Time will tell I spose...

HPI did a Tech feature installing one into the green 32 sedan in the ltest issue(62)

lol

i can probably organise a group buy for you guys if you are keen, I got my Turbo through Otomoto.

Fitting of the turbo was not that difficult. otomoto can supply a dump pipe to suit that will bolt straight up to your front pipe this is what i got with the turbo and indeed it does bolt up, however i needed a 2.75 inch V band clamp (they are not a bolt type flange but rather a V band) and these are hard to find, so you'd need to go to your local turbo shop and order one in since most places i went yto only had 2.5 or 3 inch.

Grinding was required on the stock manifold and the com housing to make them clear each other, not much needs to be taken away from the comp housing, just a light linish. however theres a protrusion on the stock manifold which has a thread in it for the heat sheld bolt. i ground this away completly and turbo fits no worries then.

you fit the stock RB20 turbo oil return pipe, so no fab needed there, the oil feed line requires some bending but the banjo meets up easy enough. However you need a Metric Course thread Banjo bolt (nissan stock one is Metric Fine thread) this is a $4 part.

Water lines not needed, i just looped the stock ones around each other.

That leaves cooler pipe and intake pipe, the stock intake rubber pipe is a tad smaller then the intake on the compressor housing. You can make it fit by using hot water and forcing it on, but i took the opportunity to get a metal pipe made anyway, this pipe + one simple 90 degree elbow that had a flare on one end to meet up with the compressor outlet was all i needed.

Marky from Exhaust tech made me the pipes i needed for next to nothing, big ups goes to him!

So yeah, fairly simple, its no direct bolt on, but its damn near close enough! And yeah i dunno about turbo life yet bout mine will be pushed to the limits, rest assured, so we'll see how it goes from that! All in all, for the money they are absolutly worth it!

Sounds good to me :P

Even if the turbo life isnt that long for ~$900 u can buy 2 ! lol

Also I noticed on the site that it says the internal gate is good for around 12psi. What happens once you go above this ??

Yeah sounds like a good bang 4 buck turbo!

With the group buy, Simon how many #'s *cough* Konect *cough* :D would we need to get & what sort of price / deal could you organise!!

Oh I am happy to slap a big KKR sticker on the car aswell for advertising! :wub:

Konect - Mate i think you would simply need to upgrade to an external wastegate to allow for larger psi.... thats my noobish thoughts neways lol :)

Edited by R33Deviat

I will get back to you in a few days on the Group buy and if i can organise it or not.,

As for wastegate acutator limt (this is what they are talking about.. not the actual gate) u stimply bleed it off for more boost

Somin - Sweet as mate! Will keep an eye out as will have the $$$$ in about 2 weeks and will be purchasing coilpacks, FMIC, PFC etc aswell so could get perfect time to get the turbz!!

Cheers

Ando

Hey

otomoto has got back to me about Group buys and they cant do them for a few months, since they only get limited stock per month, and they are already light on stock atm.

However should you decide to buy one. Keep in mind the fact they come with a 6 Month warrenty, where as Garret turbo's only come with a 3 month warrenty :)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
