I am Currently using a KKR 430 turbo that Otomoto have kindly sponsored for my drift car, i took it out for its first test and tune session at the track on tuesday and i am very very happy with the performance and responce of the turbo.

I cam currently making 190 rwkw's with stock ecu, injectors and AFM, the timing has been changed.

i also have a GTR fuel pump, GTR cooler adn thats abouit it.

Whilist this turbo is not a direct bolt up... to make it fit i did the following.

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!

and the videos.....

the 480 is the same turbo as the 430 but with a larger split entry turbine housing.

This suggest that it would be laggier yet have more potential to make bigger hp

I chose the smaller of the two since ive got a competition drift car and responce is more important then bulk hp.

i wanna see a dyno chart with AFR's and a separate with boost plot aswell if you dont mind :)

as you can see by the link i posted before...

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

The 1.1 is stupidly laggy... if you take off approx 50rwkw from the graph in all areas (as i stated the result is fudged) then its damn laggy with a peak power of only around 250rwkw... it takes forever to get there.

With a smaller housing... it would need to be back into the .63 i would imagine to give anything close to "stock" turbo performance

Fitting cost me well under 25 bucks in parts :)

and how much time :P

1hour? $70 labour

2 hours? $140 labour

dont forget to include stuff like that as lots of people cant DIY and have to pay workshop rates.

Plus you took your own time to do it aswell :)

im keen to see how it goes in the long run.I got this off the Otomoto website

Around August 2005, Otomoto launched its own performance brand, KKR. This line of turbos and turbo-related performance products began with the KKR 330, 430 and 480 turbos, which offered a level of build quality not seen at this price point before. Sourced from China, Otomoto has hand-picked products from manufacturers specialising in OEM-standard manufacturing, to ensure a high standard of reliability which is backed by an unconditional warranty.

i'd like to see the conditions.

Garrett offer a warranty also, but its highly conditional, and almost impossible to get them to honour it because of that.

I would suspect anywhere else the same would happen.

Its performance, there is no warranty on it

thats dead right, soon as u mention its not a standard application, running more than stock boost they say bad luck.

my mate just bought a brand new gt3540r and thats what the shop told him when he asked about warranty.

cheers

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
