Kando Dynamics Turbo

[hypergear]

It depends on how often and how hard the car's been driven and how much boost they run.

Those products was not developed through R&D and perfected through time, instead a copy of a matured product. just like their response to a better performing HTA item was "send one in and we make a copy." In which they are missing the foundation, that is the information of engine and turbo behavior at given condition and situations, of any turbochargers should be developed on. Just like some of their huge 700HP Precision copy compressor with TD06L2 turbines, then anti surge that compressor. Well that is just very wrong.

The most commonly seen turbochargers sent in for repair are the T67, and new billet wheeled T67 in 8 / 10cm on Rb25dets. Very few 8cm T67 in SR, and 1x TD05 16G from SR. All same problem as photo graphed earlier.

simon is the reason i started recommending t67s to people, Its safe to say qualiyu control has gone down. its funny they tried telling me all there t67s have Mitsubishi internals lol

[Dale FZ1]

The common denominator seems to be turbo:engine match, and also compressor:turbine match.

Stao you indicated that your 360 degree thrust bearing cures the issues, but is the T67 10cm unit on RB25 in your view just a mismatch of the above factors?

[Lithium]

I am pretty sure Kando have their own 360deg thrust as an option?

[jet2nv]

All the t67s purchased apparently had 360 thrust bearings

[hypergear]

The photo shown earlier is Kando's 360 degree thrust bearing setup which is again an identical copy of Greddy's large shoulder thrust collar.

The collar and bearing that I make for the L2 turbine ended is larger overall and different. By enlarging collar and improving oil delivery within can only do so far, The best solution is having matched flow between both turbo ends. A good example would be the SLSS2 turbocharger, yet running a 73mm compressor maxed out more power then the 78mm 25G, with much better response and reliability.

Ok, so I'm about to purchase a T67 from kando and have seen these comments saying there failure rate has gone up.

Can someone recommend an option I could take if I purchase one of these, such as sending it too hypergear for Stao to fix up or should I find an alternative turbo?

I really want to run one of these t67's so hopefully I can take preventative measures to stop it from failing.

Cheers guys

[GTScotT]

Hypergear can build one.

[jet2nv]

get a ss3 or taos t67 makes more power and is more responsive and has a local warranty so you wont be stung the stupid postage fees not to mention the possible turn down if u send it to kando for a rebuild

For the same power range I recommend our ATR43 SS2 The externally gated version is $150 more then what the T67 is, Extremely reliable with 0 failure up to date and faster response.

Or buy their new massive billet T67 , I can upgrade the rear end and make it flow about 430rwkws mark reliably.

Lol, guy is in Darwin....Melbourne isn't any more local to him than Taiwan...

[jet2nv]

Taiwan postage is 162 then another 162 if you don't want the turbo abandoned. Lol think it's a lot easier n quicker to deal with local who won't fu#k you over

[jet2nv]

So had a heated discussion with kando and they sent me a brand new turbo no extra charge which is fantastic and have stated a fresh warranty

So if anyone wants a t67 non antisurge billet 10cm rear v band made 377rwkw on unopened rb25 on e85 I'm selling selling this brand new one

[1400r]

Anyone know the biggest Kando you can fit to stock manifold without a spacer?

also does running a spacer through out the dump position enough that you have to get one made or modded?

[Ben C34]

A spacer wouldn't affect the dump position enough to matter.

[scotty nm35]

If I can get a T67 low mounted on an s15, you should be able to fit that size at least. (a little grinding may be required )

Here is one I high mounted, it isn't small.

[ARTZ]

I get to work on them often, the shaft and bearing below came off a Kando T67 sent in last week, like I've mentioned earlier. This issue happens to T67 or those larger billet L2 based cores working with Rb25det engines on high boost. When compressor out flows turbine creating way too much back pressure.

any chance this could just be caused by incorrect oil choices ?

[hypergear]

If it is oil related, the bush bearing would be worn before the thrust. The bushes are fine, there are no bearing take off on the shaft. This is caused by back pressure.

The 25G's wheel size is about same size as the SS4 wheel that made 435rwkws, This compressor end should have no issues making 400rwkws+ on a larger turbine.

I have another T67 sending in to be looked at next week, will post some more photos. if the customer's happy to pay for repair, I will replace the TD06L2 turbine with a SS4 turbine wheel. That will be good enough to sort out this back pressure issue and make the most of what the 25G compressor is capable of making.

[ARTZ]

ahh ok I see....I was just curious after reading a thing on low grade oils damaging thrust bearings on high HP applications..

My old turbo has ended up on an Rb20 drifter anyway...hopefully it holds up good for him and back pressure isn't an issue

[hypergear]

TD06L2 turbine with 20G has no problems, the compressor and turbine flow is balanced. Never had one sent in either. That would work great on Rb20dets.
