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...

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
