Stopping Overboost With Iw

Hi all,

I am having big over boost issues with my KKR 480.

If I disconnect my actuator so the waste gate is fully open the car still hits about 25psi at 5000rpm :S...

The turbo is fairly new and the wastegate isn't getting stuck closed.

It makes no sence... you shouldn't really see any boost when the wastegate is fully open.

I had this same turbo on my VS commodore and that didn't over boost.

First time I boosted it with the KKR480 in it I saw my AutoMeter boost gauge hit the stopper so about 35-40psi and it blew one of my silicone joiners inside out when I ripped my foot off the accelerator and this is running with the actuator hocked up with no boost controller.

either the internal wastegate is too small, or your exhaust is too free flowing.

perhaps try a restrictor in your exhaust first, and if that fails, look at an external wastegate setup.

Yes my exhaust is very free flowing, Also jeff please read the tread before replying.

Problem is I want a low mount manifold because I just got my dump pipe and intercooler piping fabricated to suit the low mount but I am pritty sure there is no low mount external gate manifolds about.

I had the same problem as you man, turned out the dump pipe i had on my stock turbo wasn't the right size for the new turbo and the wastegate flap would hit the inside of the dump pipe when it opened and blocked it off. This ment that it would overboost something crazy just like you said. I ended up getting the wastegate pipe enlarged so the flap could fully open.

Disconnect your actuator and then open the flap and listen if it hits the dump pipe before it is all the way open.

Actually scratch what i just said above!

My car is still doing it!!! Went for a spin then with the actuator disconnected and still hits around 20psi!!

I had the dump pipe fixed the other day and the wastegate doesn't hit on it anymore so i thought it was sweet but after going for a test then its still doing it.

Looks like im still in the same boat as you buddy. So does anyone know what F***ing causes this??

Is it that the split dump pipe can't flow enough gases through the 1.5" wastegate pipe or what?

Dude KKR480s have a dump molded into the turbo so that its just got a V clamp back end. It is impossible to modify.

I got my waste gate bored out about 5mm all the way around so from about 20mm to 30mm and it made no difference, still boost spiking like crazy with the waste gate fully open.

Hmmm well i guess in your situation the dump pipe isn't the cause of it. I reckon in my case its the turbulance in the split dump in the place where it joins is that its not flowing into it and causing back pressure through the wastegate. This means that the exhaust gases go the path of least resistance through the turbine housing.

I might try to get an all in one dump pipe with no split, or just make mine into a screamer, which i dont really want to do....

I had this problem when i started tuning my ecu.

With the stock ignition map, the ignition is so retarded that boost is uncontrollable.

I fixed my ignition map and it was sweet.

Could it make it overboost that high from just the standard map :)

I have done some pritty mad tuning with my SAFC II so that this thing spools at 3000rpm I might disable my changes and see how it goes.

I also have maximum timing and a strait through 3" exhaust with a cannon, no mufflers.

I bored the wastegate out my self... but because I didn't replace the flap I bored it out about 1-0.5mm less than the size of the flap which is still a huge difference. I will bore it out further and change the flap and see how I go but I dont think its going to make any difference because the V clamp dump is too restrictive for a larger wastegate hole.

I really don't know why people say that the KKR 480 is a laggy turbo, my car is pritty much stock and it spools it before 3000rpm.

so can having a car running too rich and retarded make it overboost

Ive never heard of this before

It may be the answer to my problem

mine doesnt overboost by too much i can still rev to around 6000 rpm before it boost cuts

Yeah i've never heard of it either Pedro, doesn't really make sense how a car running on a rich and retarded map would somehow cause the exhaust gases to go through the turbine instead of going through the wastegate. At the end of the day exhaust gases are just basic fluid mechanics, go through the path of least resistance, usually being the wastegate when it's open. So to me, any major overboost problem is caused by the wastegate pipe no longer being the path of least resistance, wether it's caused by turbulance or something else?

Has anyone had a major overboost problem, not talking about 1-2psi and found a way to fix it??

This is from http://www.sdsefi.com/

"In severe cases of retarded timing, the mixture is still burning when the exhaust valve opens. Because turbochargers are driven by the energy in the exhaust stream, high EGTs caused by retarded timing produce so much energy at the turbine that even a fully open wastegate cannot control the boost pressure. All in all, retarded timing is counterproductive to producing an efficient, durable, powerful engine."

So at the retarded map with a very free exhaust the wastegate cant flow enough. I had 20psi with stock maps and went down to 7psi with a advanced ignition map. nothing else was changed

If you did have a larger wastegate that would solve the overboost problem as would having more exhaust back pressure.

how did you do it? (ignition map) manuali? or i can fix it by AFC NEO ?? ( i have afc neo) an if by afc neo what settings you did?

Na factory ecu tuning. the last load pont of the rb25det map for ignition is super retarded. If your hitting that point it would cause problems. I was hitting it on the rb25det ecu with a straight pipe and a intercooler.

Its just R and R which everyone goes on about.

Dont have a clue how to tune an afc.

If you bring down the afm voltage you could read of a lower load point i surpose?

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?

      You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.

      The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:

      Dumb rich kid tries modding for the first time

      By Hexi · Posted

      Ohhh I see lol To be honest the main reason why I wanted to start modding is because of a business trip to Japan and Indonesia. I saw many cool and modded cars all throughout in these countries, especially Japan. I myself am of Chinese+Japanese nationality and when living in china (never lived in Japan js my dad side lol) I remember staring at these cars pass by with their loud tacky exhausts and insane wide body kits. And when I went back to Japan, I got even more invested even asking people about their cars and why they modded. Most gave similar answers to what you said but funny enough one guy just said that he saw the need for speed movie being filmed once in Tokyo I think near Shibuya Crossing and got inspired to tune and mod. After that I just started to fantasize on owning a car like that. Also tbh I prefer the R32 over the R34 it's just the R34 is more iconic lol (also apparently better aftermarket support than the R32) and my only goal really is just to make the car mine and make it fun to drive. As much as I love my Cayenne it's pretty bland to drive. Sure the interior is nice and pretty, gives you attention yada yada but I've wanted to experience what it is like to have a car that is truly yours. I suppose thats the goal so far. Haha if you find where I'm from, then sure. Ill help you out on your next "financial decision"
