fking hell, b-manned it already! you're an animal.

sorry to hear about your loss B-man. still give it another 14 months it'll be good as new....

well at least you can slap on a smaller turbo and enjoy some powa when it's back on the road. what did it end up making with the lag machine on there though?

It was road tuned - (good tune too) - So not a chance to put it on the Dyno - I was going to arrange this with Craved - but now, will have to wait till the rear wheels are able to spin again......

its a pain that it locked up, i had a crown wheel bolt come loose and evacuate throught the hat on parra road, just had it rebuild, towed car home ripped it out and the dude that put the 2way in fixed it up, hope it as simple for you, dont stress about the drive shaft moving over and stuffing your suspension, id say the the movement would have been taken up by the uni joints.

Got a whole rear cradle for S13 for $50 of evil bay - seems like a deal too good to be true - absolutely complete with everything - cradle, sway bars, hubs, brakes, suspension, discs - the lot

Gonna fab it into the S13

Should be an interesting project......

in regards to ur search for KKR turbos and turbo housings i would suggest www.otomoto.com.au or u can go to their shop @ UNIT 3 8 york road ingleburn they have a wide range of KKR turbos and other KKR products as well im pretty sure they may have what ya after but heaps bad luck bout that mate.....

Thanks - but I am after KKK turbo stuff - not KKR.

KKK is a German brand - Blitz rebrands them too - And they are used on Porsches, Audis and BMWs.

In actual fact - I got exactly what I needed from US E-Bay -

THe porka blokes told me that a K26 rear housing and wheel would fit onto my K27 centre and turbine - resulting in full spool by about 3500 - perfect

The 924 and 950 boys do it the other way around though - their cars come with K27 - and they stick a K27 turbine housing and wheel on their turbos for more power at about the same spool !

    • Hey guys, Just thought it might be of interest to owners of the RB25 det NEO motor, that awesomeness Nitto are in the late process to produce an engine gasket kit by end of Jan 25.  I think obviously there will be an 25det kit too. cheers, Ian
    • He is around but doesn’t really do automotive stuff anymore, mainly does commercial work now 
    • Shortly after I do the usual full exhaust/ fmic/fuel pump/ R33 turbo and still get flogged at the lights by i30Ns
    • Is Chris from Craved Coatings still around? He is an ex SAU guy and did great powder coating (back in the day at least)
    • Bumping this thread yet again, has anyone ever tried putting yet another vacuum regulating valve on the hose that goes between the turbo inlet? Something local owners have mentioned is the Radium breather pipes de-restrict the valve cover but it actually produces an undesirable outcome in practice, way too much air is sucked out of the crankcase and a ton of oil comes with it as well. As far as I can tell the PCV diaphragm in these modern euro wet sump performance engines is active during boost as well, there's just a check valve to block boost from entering the valve cover and crankcase as there's no inherent check valve function in these diaphragm-type valves. Hopefully I'll be able to try some of this out soon. The Volvo XC90 4.4 V8 has a nice external version of these things.
