Kando Dynamics Turbo

[dori34]

Can someone change the title to "Roy's story time thread?"

lol

[rondofj]

if only the had an internal gate version that works as good as their external gated ones, I wouldn't even think of a Garret or Hypergear as possible options..

[rondofj]

if only they

[dori34]

you do realise that if u get a ext gate kando turbo, factor in cost of gate/modding etc still ends up being cheaper then a hypergear.

Question for Trent (STATUS):

Do you believe the example shown for the 2871 vs L2 10cm to be acceptable as a 'rule of thumb' expectation?

The results you gave showed the L2 was just as responsive as a 2871 (am asuming .64 rear) and when the 2871 capped off at 250kw the L2 kept going to 300....

Am tossing up if I can expect the same from my own basic SR setup if I was to do a T3 10cm L2-20g with a decent manifold and gate.. The 2871 isnt too laggy when setup right (IMHO) but I am scared of how horrid a 10cm 20g might be on a stock SR.

Input would be highly appreciated

can you post a link the comparos? i get hit in the head alot cant recal that comparo

More or less the same mate, depends if u got a great fabricator who is not going to rip you off? Who did yours? I also need to mod my dump flange from bellmouth to circular v-band - don't know if its possible/works great.

Or just sell your bellmouth dump pipe and get a completely new custom dump pipe made? I dunno about over there, but the best in the business here did mine for 350 bucks. You could easily sell your JJR dump for $200ish and then it's only gonna cost you another 150 or so and you have a dump pipe that is most likely going to work a lot better than a modified JJR one.

Unless you're worried about potential defects, I don't see why you're so against going external gate when it's plain and simple better and it's going to cost a bucket load to do.

The reason being I do not wana leave my car at any shop for more than a day ( I know it can be done in a day by a gun fabricator/mech/welder) and as you said above, the cost implications, but it shouldn't be expensive for some bits of welding and fiddling around... As for selling my jjr dump for $200, I bought it for $179 brand new lol......... And no defects mate, I'm not into screamers, plumb back's for me.

[34GeeTeeTee]

External gate doesn't mean screamer.... You can plumb it into the exhaust.... Or let the bitch scream!

[swarzee]

A little bit off topic but... Does anyone know if plumbed back external gates are legal in qld? Im guessing they are to a degree until the transport department pull you over?

[swarzee]

Does anyone recall how much simon's 6boost mani cost him?

[GTScotT]

standard price for a 6boober is about 1300 on am RB

I always thought external gates are legal anywhere as long as they are plumbed-back and dont dump poisonous exhaust gas into the environment

[wolverine]

and dont dump poisonous exhaust gas into the environment

...as opposed to the good old sweet smelling exhaust gas coming out of the rear of the car.

I am pretty sure the fuzz will take a dim view of a big ol external gate sticking up if they see it.

No they aren't legal, mainly because any turbo other than stock isn't legal without an emissions test.

Oops double post

[dori34]

So I tOok the intake pipe off today cause I thoUght it was leaking air from the silicon hose cause I can hear a slight whistle/howl on boost, but I double checked all hose clamps on the turbo side and all hoses are on properly. I think it may be the turbo causing the very faint whistle/howl sound on boost an when backing off in gear the sooubd decreases with the revs.

I also noticed there was a bit of shaft play (left and right and back and forth) on the comp wheel as well.

Anyone else have some play on theirs?

BSA assured me he's had a bit too but i may just be a paranoid milkshake since I can hear it whistling/howling which leads me to believe it may be the turbos fault.

Any ideas guys?
