Jeeepers.. that's not good..

anyways - yeah what are the KKR's like.. problem is no-one has had them on for probably more than 6months.. what's gonna happen in 2 years?.. is it gonna have an issue or still be going 100%..

could be a case of "you get what you pay for"..

KKR - Otomoto - www.otomoto.com.au

KKK - Blitz

Monsta Everything - All Ebay specials (special as in half of em never last so it a lottery)

There is one "interesting" result here about the KKR-480:

http://forum.r31skylineclub.com/index.php?topic=44524.0

As you'll see i've already alluded to the fact that the dyno figure is "interesting".

300rwkw on stock injectors and a 480hp turbo/15psi

Anyway, take it was you will, ive read no information to lead me to the fact the KKR/Otomoto turbos are ball bearing.

Meaning they are just bush bearing, and no different in performance (which wasnt the best) to sh|tty bush T04's of the years gone by.

Maybe slight wheel changes, but it'll never compare to a Garrett/HKS/Precision etc etc

My personal thoughts on it all:

1) If your getting an Ebay turbo beware, buy at your own risk as they fail often. Just because "someones" works, does not mean yours will. There is no warranty despite what they say

2) They are cheap, and cheap for a reason... to make a quality turbo costs money, so pay the extra 600-900 and get a proper turbo. If one fails, its costs you another 800, then you could have purchased a turbo that would give you car no down time, and better performance

and?

That link provides no spec of the car, not even which turbo is being used, or what motor

No dyno charts to give an indication of response

Can you provide it or something dude? :cheers:

We need more detail before you can say "someone is using it" doesnt say a lot for a technical discussion like this which goes into more depth at times

Hello Scott,

The KKR-480 is $899. We also have a dump pipe available to suit the RB25 for $149 (suits standard or aftermarket front pipes).

To fit it on an RB25 you need to rotate the compressor housing and actuator to point the right way. The actuator rod also needs to be bent and adjusted to suit, while the compressor housing needs around 2mm ground off at one point, where it is too close to the exhaust manifold. You will also need a different bolt for the oil feed and a 2.75-inch V-band clamp. We have a mobile mechanic in Sydney who does the complete installation for $520 including the clamp.

We recently fitted the KKR-480 to an RB24, which made 256kW at the wheels on 1.35bar boost.

Here are some more specifications:

KKR480

T3 twin-port type flange (will suit normal T3 flange also)

Oil-cooled, large turbine housing (around 1.1)

Approx 480hp

Compressor side (similar sizing to smallest HKS GT3037)

Compressor inlet pipe 70mm

Compressor outlet pipe 50mm

Compressor wheel inner diameter 53mm

Compressor wheel outer diameter 76.5mm

12 blades, six 22mm high, six 16mm high

Turbine side

25mm flap-type internal wastegate

71/79mm V-band flange (inner outlet diameter 63.5mm)

Turbine wheel inner diameter 56mm (similar to HKS 2835R)

Turbine wheel outer diameter 73mm (similar to HKS T04R)

10 blades, 28.5mm high at tips

and yes it is a bush bearing

Dear son of rajab...

Bend the actuator

Shave 2mm off the comp housing

New bolt for the Oil

V-band clamp

And dump to suit

As quoted $520 to install, plus the dump of $149

Suddenly the price is $1586, if you cant DIY

For less than $300 more... bolt on, no worries...

    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
    • Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
