Kando Dynamics Turbo

Very nice gains!  How does it drive with the new cams by comparison? Dyno sheet is suggesting much better spool - 60kw more at 3500rpm is quite a difference haha.

Who make 268/272 VCT compatible cams, too?

Haven't driven the car at all. Car was meant to do Malalla last weekend (Skyline nationals) but I have some steering issues. Was going to be a good test but yeah...

Comparing the old graph with pon cams to this its interesting the larger cams make more low down power, even though the pon cams are "low down" Would be interesting to run the factory intake manifold and see how much more I would pick up down low.


Camtech are the cams. Supplied through Garage 7.

Did you get a boost graph to overlay?

ie. how much (if any) of the low-down comes from boost delivery.  Presuming a few extra psi will have been a big part in the numbers up top.

Whatever the changes, it's obviously a pretty happy setup and you've hit on a good combination.  Must be painful waiting until the steering is fixed to have a drive.

I am keen to take this thing out and drive it, but I have spent so much cash this year to get me out last weekend and its let me down. I'm packing it away until I get back from Bali after the new year and get everything sorted out once I arrive back.

I still need to get a suitable diff to bin the weldy, and get in one of the last 25 boxes Nissan have left in and fitted up.

What would you recommend for a daily driven rb20

Looking for around 220ish kws, response and internal gated?

With normal mods

nistune, EBC, cooler, fuel pump etc

^ wrong thread guys.

The TD05 16G is an awesome turbo but the wastegate actuator that comes with the turbo is pretty crap - external gate or a different actuator detract from the cost effectiveness and ease of using these but in terms of reliability and performance for the price they would be very very hard to beat

I've read through the forums (hypergear, garrett and this thread) in search for a new turbo and just need a bit of help. 

RB25DET with usual supporting mods ready for turbo upgrade. 

Looking at a garrett gen II gtx3076 ext gate low mount with 0.82 a/r

However I've since been pointed in the direction of Kando/Kinugawa. 

Looking at these two options - 

Kinugawa Gtx3076 

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F292621030784

Or Kinugawa td06-sl250g 10cm

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F292369075155

 

Anyone had experience with either? Will they fit low mount ext gate and which would be better for 300kw or close to on p98? 

I've checkout out hypergear but tuner isn't keen. 

Have scoured the forums but a lot of Kando info is a few years old now. Worst case I'll save for garrett gtx3076 but people have said good things about these and considering the $$, thought I'd research. 

Thanks!

The first one has more compressor capability than turbine.  BB cartridge probably means it would offer better streetable response.  Assuming impeller design is a copy from Garrett.

The second one has more turbine capability than compressor. More open turbine ought to function well on track with generally higher rpm and wider throttle openings.

Both are compromises if you want to fit it to a Neo 25, so depends what you are doing with the car.  They would drive differently if you could run back to back test.

That 20G would struggle to make 280kW on P98.

The GTX probably could exceed 300kW on P98.

Neither would be a bad thing, and it comes down to price.  Garrett pricing for a GTX around 25-2700, you'd hope for better performance and reliability from the real thing.

Have you looked at the BW S256 or S257? Viable alternatives and within the price range of the Kinugawa stuff too.

    • Lighting in the shed looks real good! Not lying, have shed envy lol. Maybe one day I can fk off from Metro Sydney.
    • I would be cautious with those 2000/2200 CNG injectors, swap them out for a set of 1550 aka 1650 Bosch stainless ones before you take out a motor.
    • I tested them all a couple times, haven't tested it warm or wet though. The only seemingly really weird thing was the cylinders plug closest to the dash was pitch black nearly.  Doesn't smoke out of the exhaust or anything.    Also sorry everyone for the very late response. Got busy with work and all and didn't get around to fooling with the car for awhile.  But an update! I figured out the cause of the lean condition, my intercooler had at some point exploded or something. It's clearly separated in a spot with black oily buildup around the leak, and multiple leaks in various vacuum lines. I've replaced it and the vacuum lines, and gotten new clamps and there are 0 leaks now after doing a couple smoke tests.   The car now runs significantly better and the exhaust doesn't overheat anymore. I still have the main problem though where the engine feels like I'm lugging it around sub 3500rpm in any gear besides 1st, 2nd It's less noticeable but 3rd anything under 3.5k and I need to downshift or the engine is clearly struggling when trying to accelerate at all, 4th is the exact same, sub 3.5k engine won't accelerate and its hard to bring it back up to speed, 5th gear doesn't feel like the car is going to straight up fall apart now but it still can't pull 5th. It slowly loses speed and rpm and ANY gas I give I can feel the shakes from the engine and it slowly dying. If I ever so lightly give it gas it will slowly and nicely decel till around 2k rpm instead of lugging. But it cannot accelerate at all or maintain speed.   If I go from first gear at 5 or 6krpm and then shift to second it also feels like it's struggling to make power till above 3krpm if trying to accelerate but I can cruise around parking lots at around 1-2krpm just fine in 2nd. It's just when accelerating hard it and changing gear you really notice it die down.  But even if you shift at way lower rpms it does the same thing till somewhere above 3k.  As far as I'm aware it's got r32 gtr transmission gear ratios with gts4 diffs. The tire size is 205/55r16 91h Above 3500rpm the car pulls and runs and drives quite normally and the power from engine sounds and feels very smooth.  It's perfectly driveable at above 3.5krpm but I drive on the highway alot for work and it gets really bad gas mileage in 4th at 4.4krpm. Not that I'm looking for great gas mileage with such a car, just I'm sure being at around 3krpm would be significantly better for it.    Have appreciated all your guys help. I do understand the engine may just be f**ked from running with a boost leak though.    One final thing I'd like to add is I'm only shifting so high in the rpm range is because if I don't I will feel the engine lugging bad with 0 power in lower rpms, pretty much anytime off boost trying to accelerate it feels really bad.  Also when I say 3500 rpm I don't mean exactly. Just around there. 
    • So what did you end up doing ?  and is it still alive today ?    
    • I run 2 x 525 pumps on factory 8mm fuel lines     ... zero issues, staged of course    Your setup should work fine, all you need to do is find the restriction. A good aftermarket fuel regulator is always a good idea too. If it's not your regulator i'd be suspicious of your fuel tank breather and your tank pressurising. Next would be something with the fuel hat. Then blow out the fuel lines.
