Hey crew,

Just blew the turbo on my car, its the old hpi r32 4door drift car. Most of you would know the car?

It was running a kkr 480, what would be a good upgrade similar to this size turbo? it was running 250kw at the moment on 20psi... rb24 stroker motor. Also wondering if I will have to open up the motor or not as I poured alot of metal out of the cooler and pipes!

Any ideas would be great!

Thanks Joey.

Personally i would be sending the turbo back to KKR and askign how do you explain such a catastrophic turbo failure. I personally woudl carefully rip off the inlet pipe to the throttle body and see if there is any debris in that pipe, up to /around the throttle body..

The intercooler woudl tend to be a reasonably good filter for crap boing through, but fine particles woudl still most likely get through. Perhaps pull the plugs and crank it over for a bit to clear it????

Best consult a trusted mechanic me says... :D

thats rather horrible... i would consider buying another cooler also since its going to be too hard to get all the shards out your current one.

Consider a garret GT3071R IW T3 housing and you'll crank big numbers with better responce

seems to be a few KKR's dropping off....GEN TT just stopped using them also, i hope they can sort out the issues for all the tight asses out there :P im sure it is just one of those things, im pretty sure the oil control issue is sorted now. ive not heard of another failure like this though.

slap on a 3071 or a td06sh-25g

That explains it... cheap turbo and crazy shaft forces caused by BEE-R rev limiter.......

post the bits back to them with a thank you card. that is a heap of crap. it looks to me like it failed in part due to the cheap arse materials. I mean look at the way the compressor cover backing plate has just exploded. what a piece of junk.

      Thanks Santa (the neverending trials of the 400,000klm, 400kw, RB30, manual swapped Stagea)

      So, how do you feel about the Frenchys surge tank setup @Duncan? Have you had a chance to try it out more? The sketchy wiring in my fuel pump setup has decided to melt and die and I'm looking for a solid replacement now. My fuel hat is toast so the Frenchys kits providing it all look promising.

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      Yeh... literally every time i jump on a forum, see an instagram post or see an engine bay at a car show, i get an idea and add it to my 'to do' list. So what started off as, hey can u just make a couple of intake hard pipes because my dumbass bought the wrong apexi kit, blew out into a 2 week job including braided brake lines & custom bash kit for the front lip haha.  Getting Luke from A4E engineering to make a full custom exhaust with a controllable aes dump valve so i can actually switch between quiet and loud, because right now its just loud all day every day. Then after that go and get the tune redone flex e85 & 98 as i get bugger all milage from e85, makes going for longer drivers difficult

      Car looks clean as. You ended up getting quite a bit done 😂  So what's the plan for the exhaust?

      Rb25det vs Rb25de rods and crank are same?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The only Neo rods that were any different to any other RB25 rods were the DET ones, and they were the same as RB26. Here is a Neo DET rod. O5U part number visible. Here is a post in a thread here on SAU with evidence from someone who has done this before. There are photos in the thread of normal RB25 rods.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Sure, but why assume that will be the case forever? And why assume you'll be able to do an oil change to swap back to a stock drain bolt before that happens? And does it even matter when I change the oil at fairly short intervals? Life can be funny sometimes and unexpected things can happen. Like breaking a collarbone so you can't do any work on your car for a few months but the oil change is due so you have to take it to somewhere and hope they don't do something stupid like stacking the new drain plug washer on top of the old one.
