Hey guys i recently bought a r33 gtst with a KKR560 internal gated turbo.

By reading some users comments on kkr they arnt the best? Ive just blown mine aswell.

What i would like to ask is the internal wastegate on this turbo is one ive never seen before. It looks to be welded up from factory and has no way or being incorperated into the dump pipe? The wastegate flap is unable to be plumbed into the exhaust by the looks of it? Also it looks to be welded up?

Thats the turbo as you can see the flap looks to have afew spot welds holding it shut?

Can anyone tell me how this turbo would control boost with it being welded shut or am i just missing something?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks :(

what to you mean blown? exhaust wheel smashed out? seal went, whats symptoms?

more details..... I here "my turbo is blown" a fair bit, usually its something else, poor install and/or leaking IC pipe etc

thanks mitchy that what i thought but without having the turbo off the car i assumed it was welded shut.

well i was driving and dropped it back from 3rd to 2nd and i heard a loud clap noise and there was quite abit of blue smoke out the exhaust i think the turbo has dropped the seals.

my car is the actual one on the otomoto websit the dyno chart is my r33 http://www.otomoto.com.au/kkr/KKR560.html but not running 22psi anymore. Its at 18psi

i would say you may of indeed blown seals, i saw a 2JZ send the exhaust turbine wheel into the cat, followed by lots of blue smoke.

KKR are dodgy from what i have read, however what i have read would lead me to beleive that they are reasonably safe at lower boost levels.

how many Ks has it done?

its about a year old say about 20000kms on the turbo

i will check all ic pipes aswell

i have checked the turbo there is no oil in it or any shaft play. The car idles fine for 20seconds then up down up down.

I think it might be something else. Might be AFM? are the r33 ones common to play up?

When it happened i down shifted from 3rd to 2nd and i heard a loud "clap" sound followed by smoke out the exhaust and car when reving past 2.5k starts to splutter.

anyone know of what it could be?

sounds like pipe work to me. check you havent split any silicone and just double and triple check every clamping point from the compressor housing to the throttle body.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
