Hi guys,

Item For Sale:

KKR560 Turbo and Dump Pipe, V-band Clamp, and Oil Lines

Reason For Sale:

Upgrading to external gate GT3076 that a friend sold to me for the right price

Availability:

Turbo will be removed around 17th of January, so if you want to come test drive it while it's still on my car, just give me a call :)

Installation Instructions:

I installed it two years ago, but pretty sure you will just need a few silicon joiners and stuff to replace the stock turbo, and use stock oil return line. This turbo is not water cooled, so you can block those off. I followed a tutorial i found on this site to get it installed, and has gone 2 years without troubles

Price:

$500 pickup, or buyer pays postage.. or make me an offer, as this is no longer needed

Location:

Gold Coast, QLD

Hi guys,

I bought this turbo when it was only a few months old off the SAU forum about 2 years ago. It had been purchased from AutoBarn two months prior. From the start, it had boost control issues, like most KKR turbos. I took it to MR turbo, who removed the "twin scroll partition" from the exhaust housing, as the wastegate was only able to vent gases from 3 cyl instead of all 6.

It still had boost control issues after reinstalling, so i took it off again, and they made the wastegate hole much larger, and machined a whole bunch of the housing out to get the flow going to the wastegate with less resistance (instead of the 90 degree angle). Since then, it has been absolutely perfect!

I definitely wouldn't buy another KKR turbo unless you were planning on doing these modifications, but once done, the turbo is amazing! When i bought it, i got an oil line with it, used that to install it, plugging in to stock oil return line. Water lines were blocked off, and I rearranged stock piping and everything worked fine (i installed a front mount at the same time)

Car was making 220kw with this turbo, limited by stock AFM and injectors. I recently got some S15 injectors and a Z32 and have tuned the car for 250kw at 16psi. I didn't wanna go higher as i don't know how healthy my engine is, but i have seen these turbos doing 300-320kw on other RB25 setups.

Anyway, a friend no longer needs his external gate GT3076 so that's going to me, so i will no longer need this turbo.

We were just re-fibreglassing my front bar yesterday, as the car is going to be painted, so the thin layer of stuff on the turbo is sanded back fibreglass, it doesn't look that old/rusty in person, only on camera for some reason :/

If you have any questions, just ask in this thread so they get answered and everybody can see the answer, or just give me a call on 0421517163 :)

Isaac

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
