I am Currently using a KKR 430 turbo that Otomoto have kindly sponsored for my drift car, i took it out for its first test and tune session at the track on tuesday and i am very very happy with the performance and responce of the turbo.
I cam currently making 190 rwkw's with stock ecu, injectors and AFM, the timing has been changed.
i also have a GTR fuel pump, GTR cooler adn thats abouit it.
Whilist this turbo is not a direct bolt up... to make it fit i did the following.
Fitting of the turbo was not that difficult. otomoto can supply a dump pipe to suit that will bolt straight up to your front pipe this is what i got with the turbo and indeed it does bolt up, however i needed a 2.75 inch V band clamp (they are not a bolt type flange but rather a V band) and these are hard to find, so you'd need to go to your local turbo shop and order one in since most places i went yto only had 2.5 or 3 inch.
Grinding was required on the stock manifold and the com housing to make them clear each other, not much needs to be taken away from the comp housing, just a light linish. however theres a protrusion on the stock manifold which has a thread in it for the heat sheld bolt. i ground this away completly and turbo fits no worries then.
you fit the stock RB20 turbo oil return pipe, so no fab needed there, the oil feed line requires some bending but the banjo meets up easy enough. However you need a Metric Course thread Banjo bolt (nissan stock one is Metric Fine thread) this is a $4 part.
Water lines not needed, i just looped the stock ones around each other.
That leaves cooler pipe and intake pipe, the stock intake rubber pipe is a tad smaller then the intake on the compressor housing. You can make it fit by using hot water and forcing it on, but i took the opportunity to get a metal pipe made anyway, this pipe + one simple 90 degree elbow that had a flare on one end to meet up with the compressor outlet was all i needed.
Marky from Exhaust tech made me the pipes i needed for next to nothing, big ups goes to him!
So yeah, fairly simple, its no direct bolt on, but its damn near close enough! And yeah i dunno about turbo life yet bout mine will be pushed to the limits, rest assured, so we'll see how it goes from that! All in all, for the money they are absolutly worth it!
