Installed this a while back.

The installation was REALLY easy, alot easier than what I have read on here.

Basicly you had to grind off one nut hole off the exhaust manifold where the heat sheld screws to and every thing else just bolts up.

Stock oil lines hocked up perfect and I just blocked off the water lines.

I didn't need to bend the actuator rod like some people have said.

Here are the results.

I also run a kkr480 on my rb25det and me and a mate installed it ourselves,

turbo bolted up perfect, just had to grind a bit of the exhaust manifold, oil lines bolted up, but i went into enzed and for $30 or so he put new ends on my water lines to match the same size thats on the turbo, then i just chopped the lines and used high pressure/heat hose 2 move them around to fit nicely, and towed car to my mech 2 get dumpipe fab'd up and cooler piping change a little,

comes on hard bout 4000-4500rpm, i just run actuator spring which is bout 1.2-1.3 bar of boost, bit hard 2 control boost in these things, only downside..

but worth every penny, ive done bout 5000-7000kms alredy on this turbo, runs like a dream

Yeah it has got a GMC or some Aus turbo reco company bandged on it. I dont think its GMC but that just comes in to mind, its some 3 letter name.

Yeah KKR480s aren't that big, this one came off my VS commodore V6 and that spooled it at 2800rpm for 12psi. Its around 3000rpm, well you feel the boost kick in hard as then look at revs and its doing around 3000rpm. will have to have a closer look.

Its definarly a KKR480 I brought it new.

Any way stock turbo isn't big enough because I want 300RWKW.

Also I did lean the living daylights out of it early on to help turbo spool.

Well not that lean like 13.7:1 Air Fuel Mixture.

Yeah I would get a boost controller if I was you, adjusting that actuator rod would be a nightmare.

I didn't think you could get 1.2-1.3 bar out of the stock actuator as my commodore running stock actuator on the KKR480 only saw 12psi tops.

Does it over boost at all in high revs? I am hoping I dont need to get the wastegate cut out so it flows more.

Ummm the enzed bit makes no sence... KKR480s are oil only.. I just blocked off my water lines. The stock oil lines seemed to bolt up perfectly.

finny mate, you sure got a 480 cause no way it would spool up that early and also if its a oil only turbo then what are the other two fitting in the turbo core for????. you might have a bitsa turbo cause every 480 ive seen has oil and water fittings

Also you will be very lucky to get your 300kws with a kkr480 they arent bigger enough for it.

:S

Mine is from JustJap its marked as a JJR480 but I thought they where just rebadged KKR480s... they look identical.

Maybe I am wrong.

It has only got oil holes.

ummm that sucks... I should have got one from otomoto :)

Yes I can see the water holes on that one

Ohh well looks like I will be going to a Garret GT35/40 later on down the track then.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
