V-band Clamp On Kkr430

[jase33]

Reseached with no luck.

I bought a KKR430 turbo the other day and m just doing some research before fiting it to my r33 series 2. I cant work out the new V-band clamp and how it fits.

I got the dump pipe that fis it as well.

Has anyone fitted one of these and know of any other problems i may encounter along the way to fitting this thing??

Thanks guys.

Jase.

not sure what u mean about how it fits.

but if there is no bung in the dump pipe for your o2 sensor?

you will need that done before u fit it

just think of it as a hose clamp, just make sure the clamp is over both sides of the flanges lips

The dump pipe conection is on the other side of the pipe so thats all good.

Thanks. I think i know what you mean, theres just an extra ring dude left over when I get it to "work". Do I need to use gasket goo or something? Im concerned that it will leak.

Here is a close pic of the fitted clamp how I think it should be (note the hole on the dump pipe for the oxygen sensor) and the clamp on its own and the other steel part that I dont know where it goes. Did I get it right?

just looks like you have been supplied a flange that you would use if you bought just the turbo and not the seperate dump pipe aswell.

So I got t right then Craved?

yep looks correct to me, V bands are more prone to leaking though

havent ever tried it but you could get a high temp sealer on that bead if your worried, gets used on 3 and 4 bolts exhaust flanges all the time
