Im hoping it will chirp second

Anyway the kkr 530 in basically a 480 with a front compressor the same size as a hks 3037…..Kkr 530 with nokia 1000 rrp

Manifold is g-tech 249 + 35 delivery

Dump has a v ban clamp 180rrp

This is the full setup around the 1500 mark

Funnily the kkr turbo has the same thread as a stock vl turbo gear so all my braided lines bolt straight on

pictures aren't quite big enough, i can't make anything out :(

while you probably already know that open collector + split pulse housing is a bad idea from a gas flow perspective, it's a really super bad idea if your turbo-manifold gasket is split pulse as well. it can break off in the centre section and go through the turbine, not a good thing. make sure you trim it down (cut the divider out) if this is the case. it won't be optimal, but it'll do the job.

cheers

ok.. one thing i really do not like.. that looks to be a splitpulse T3 exhaust housing on the KKR turbo.. however your manifold isnt splitpulse.. i wouldnt reccomend running that :S its allright with splitpulse manifold with normaly exhaust housing.. but otherway around has always been a big no no in my opion and many others i know of with vast amounts of turbo experience

might loose some grunt i supose... guess the exaust gass will take the easy way out and might make it a tad laggier.. guess ill find out

or i could put a divider in there .. but lets face it that aint going to happen due to lazyiness

oh and those cases are for my lub's and makup

:laugh:

Given the work/trouble you're going to, surely a day's down time + 100 bucks (depending) to put in a divider is worth it?

Despite the opinions about these units - and my own Garrett type leanings - I'm going to be interested to see how it goes.

yeah lovely pj's you sick bastard. intercooler on the bed ehh... I dont even want to know what the "inlet" looks like now.

get cracking big boy. i need a loaner car for the next skid pay day, and you are top of my list. :D

what was the verdict on the manifold? split or not split.

    • Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.
    • I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.
    • For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
    • I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.
    • Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
