I don't know anyone who has used one of these. Are you aware that you will have to change your dump pipe to suit the V-band configuration?

Not a bad setup otherwise.....nice and cheap too by the look of things.

Yeah dude i no that you got to change to vband but the dump is like under $200 so thats no biggie i just wanted to no if anyone out there nos cause i didnt want to pioneer the fiting of the turbo in queensland i no in NSW people are putting them on and getting results for a brush bearing turbo and Sam Cornell seems to be doing the work and tunning on these instalations.

Hi Im not actually in Queensland (Adelaide Actually). I had the boys at GT Autosound put a kkr 430 on my 96 33, It doesnt really lag and with boost being controlled by the wastegate 11psi I got my car dynoed at 202rwkw as soon as I get my power fc/injectors im gonna wind up the boost and should be able to pull 240rwks and if I change my AFM more.... all in all I was quite happy with it it was good replacement for my blown standard turbo.....

Nice man what did they charge you for the fitting and tuning of the turbo it will give me an idea of what to expect. So what boost pressure will you have to run to get 240rwkw out of the kkr430 because it would have to be pushing the turbo pretty hard for that figue or are these turbos strong enough to take that abuse.

Im after about 250rwkw but i want the turbo to do it easy keep everything nice and efficent.

They charged about $500 for the labour and even put some silicon hosing for me and I got it back the next day the biggest issue was the fuel and oil and water lines but I was told it was pretty easy in the end..... Im running 10 -11psi and pulling 202, at 11.5 it was 213 so Im sure if you have upgraded your fuel pump, have a power fc, AFM and injectors you should be able to pull 250rwkw at like 15-16psi these turbos are good for 20psi but obviously with the correct supporting mods. Im restricted atm by my injectors and AFM but was told from guys at tilbrooks that 250rwkw should be easily achievable with the correct supporting mods, hope this helps. My fuel consumption is about the same, lag isn't really an issue and the car sounds heaps more beefy all my friends tell me my car goes even harder and between 4-6k the turbo really boots! Hope this helps man!

yeah dude i think i will use the kkr480 turbo just so i got that bit of leeway on the turbo holding together side cause i dont like running things into the ground just for the sake of power but i guess the kkr430 would be able to make these fiqures but im still not sure the longenjevity of the turbo any way keep me informed of the progress and ill do the same ill do a full report when the turbo goes in with pics.

    • No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.
    • The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣
    • Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?
    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
