Hey crew,

Just blew the turbo on my car, its the old hpi r32 4door drift car. Most of you would know the car?

It was running a kkr 480, what would be a good upgrade similar to this size turbo? it was running 250kw at the moment on 20psi... rb24 stroker motor. Also wondering if I will have to open up the motor or not as I poured alot of metal out of the cooler and pipes!

Any ideas would be great!

Thanks Joey.

Personally i would be sending the turbo back to KKR and askign how do you explain such a catastrophic turbo failure. I personally woudl carefully rip off the inlet pipe to the throttle body and see if there is any debris in that pipe, up to /around the throttle body..

The intercooler woudl tend to be a reasonably good filter for crap boing through, but fine particles woudl still most likely get through. Perhaps pull the plugs and crank it over for a bit to clear it????

Best consult a trusted mechanic me says... :D

thats rather horrible... i would consider buying another cooler also since its going to be too hard to get all the shards out your current one.

Consider a garret GT3071R IW T3 housing and you'll crank big numbers with better responce

seems to be a few KKR's dropping off....GEN TT just stopped using them also, i hope they can sort out the issues for all the tight asses out there :P im sure it is just one of those things, im pretty sure the oil control issue is sorted now. ive not heard of another failure like this though.

slap on a 3071 or a td06sh-25g

Wow, that is a serious failure right there! Were you doing anything out of the ordinary?

Just floored it in 2nd gear bounched the Bee-R rev limiter once then ka boom!

nO FUN...

Thanks for the replies guys. Will go to local mechanic some time today, on foot god dammit...

That explains it... cheap turbo and crazy shaft forces caused by BEE-R rev limiter.......

that doesnt look good!

im running kkr480 turbo aswell, run around about 1.3bar or 19psi daily thru it, but ive noticed mines water cooled and oil cooled..why is all the kkrs ive seen are only oil cooled? hmmmm

Not sure on that one? You must have got lucky! Good luck with yours, hope it stays together...

post the bits back to them with a thank you card. that is a heap of crap. it looks to me like it failed in part due to the cheap arse materials. I mean look at the way the compressor cover backing plate has just exploded. what a piece of junk.

yeah i think he has got something to do with them in a big way - ever noticed how hpi started pushing all things otomoto?

preety sure he is a member on here aswell and might be able to hook you up cause it dosent look too good having the hpi project car with the turbo that they push have a massive failure

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
