Kkr480 On R33 Gtst

[Finny]

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.

Looks good

Whats the response like?

[R33GOD]

nice vid man. post up some results when u get her dyno'd

Looks like your old turbo was a highflow anyway.

Your old turbo was off a very early VG30 or something and had a bigger exh wheel. Definately NOT standard - maybe not ball bearing either.

umm I doubt it...

it definatly has the R33 stock front... maybe VG30 rear but the front is stock otherwise the stock piping wouldn't bolt up.

The guy I brought the car off had no idea what had been done to it.

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

[Finny]

Responce is good, full boost 18psi at 3000rpm.

[l0WRB]

you sure u dont have the kkr430? lol 18psi by 3000rpm? with the .84 exh housing hmmm...find it hard 2 believe...

[benl1981]

Finny a High-flow bolts up like stock.

The exhaust Wheel is DEFINALTEY bigger than stock (vg30 has same size as Rb25 anyway) and Ithink the compressor cover may have been bored out (from the inside)

[Finny]

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.

Responce is good, full boost 18psi at 3000rpm.

hahaha, it might START to spool in like 5th gear full throttle...

your old turbo wouldnt hit 18psi by 3000rpm....

[Finny]

Dan you are a knob head go blow a goat.

You wouldn't know what boost was if it hit you in the face.

So what have done for a dump pipe? do you just have a screamer off the wastegate or is it plumbed back in?

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.

Internally gated. V-clamp dump.

[benl1981]

Does it have GCG on it?

[nick81xd]

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.

[Crossie]

what's the title of the track on the vid, i jus cant remember it and its really annoying me

[l0WRB]

mate im positive my turbo is 480 its badge with it and come from otomoto, mine came with water fittings and oil fittings, it holds 19psi perfect thru the whole rev range loves that shit lol

[Finny]

: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

KKR 480 =

Yes I can see the water holes on that one

JJR480 =

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