Kando Dynamics Turbo

[Simonster]

It's a shame you bought the wrong VQ to turbo Simonster, the 3.5 has weak rods to help with the 8k rev limit, you will have to rebuild the sucker first unfortunately (unless you are happy with 4-5psi?)

The factory turbo engines are the ones to go for, the VQ30det's are the cheapest option and with no adjustable cams they are the easiest to get running. I believe they may have Nistune working on the stock ecu too. This engine should be good for 400-450wkw unopened.

I disagree- DE's are the weaker version. The HR is a completely different animal essentially a redesign, it's much better. The HR rod is much stronger.

I've spent the last month+ talking to tuners and guys running them in the US and I'm happy with what i've got. I think it'll surprise a lot of people.

Running E85 and a special version of the Haltech, she'll do it very, very easily.

That's good, it means you know what you're getting yourself into. I hope you get better support from Haltech than I got. lol.

You should be fine with the high compression and e85 but lets hope the rods handle the extra torque from that alone. It will surprise a few people that's for sure.

What boost are you looking to push through the TD05's? They should be good for well over 500kw right? External gate I assume? Start a build thread on it so we don't hog the Kando thread.

Flicked through a few of the US fourms, and found a result of 490rwhp on a HR on 11 or 12 psi. Then again one failed in Melb on 270rwkw.

Choose your people wisely and it'll be great. +1 on the build thread. Some serious fabrication going to go into it

Lol... just found your thread on my350z

Will be interesting to see the curve with VCT working as it looks fairly lazy (for the turbo size) but fook me that top end is very impressive considering the boost

Definately. I have not done any low down tuning with this thing yet. Is just as rich on boost build up as it is on full boost which once optimized should be even better.

Then im keen to go to the drags

you searched kando didnt you..try search Kinugawa

http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l2736&_nkw=kinugawa

Yes, yes i did

Teach me for trying to do my shopping straight after night shift haha.

Anyone had the rear off their Kando lately?

Had mine off today and noticed what looked like tiny cracks in between some of the fins. I could not feel them with my finger but they didn't rub off either...

Had some issues with melting silicon so copied simon and got a elbow welded on

Mate just got a TIG and this was his first cast ally weld, not great haha..

[Risking]

Tell him not to clean with an angle grinder or wire brush.

It impregnated the alloy with all sorts of crap.

If it needs any type of grinding then use a dedicated alloy sanding disk (not a flap wheel they are as bad as grinding discs)

Also recommend he try's cleaning with Albright for any type of "used" alloy then a wipe down with general purpose thinners.

The welds incosistant but it looks like he was struggling to control the heat in some places.

[ARTZ]

yeah, been waiting to see if they start falling apart ..how many ks you done on it now...

Picked up new clutch today...now I just need to find my motivation

thanks man ill pass that on... we used a flapper disc to take it back cause the first pass was rubbish.

Fark all maybe 8000ks. May just be manufacturing marks but i don't remember seeing them when i put it on, will have a closer look tomorrow.

can you feel a hard edge when you run your finger nail over it?

should email kando and see what they say. possibly fine, possibly the odd 1/100 that slipped through QA

[Simonster]

CAn you take a pic that's in focus, it'll make it easier for us to see.

[battery]

Best I could do with my iphone..

had a closer look today and you can feel it with your finger nail, almost every fin has a similar crack to this in the same place although the one in the pic was the biggest.

Will send Mr kando an email and see what he thinks..

Looks nasty

[Ke55pig]

Hopefully they replace or send out billet wheel

[Simonster]

Well if you can feel it then you've answered your question.

What turbo is this from- have you been running it particularly hard?

Could just be a manufacturing defect. Hopefully you get a good result from Eiji.

[Simonster]

double post- nice

That pic is of the exhaust wheel and they don't make billet versions of those. The comp side looks brand new.

T67-25G 20psi max, mainly street so nothing super intense.

Emailed him earlier, will be interesting to see his reply.

may i draw everones attention to the rb25 dyno thread, jez has cracked 300 @ 17psi and no vct.

with vct it should be a different animal all together, not to mention stretching the compressor flow to its limits. i dare say jez will give mick a real run for his money when its done. from memory theyare shapping up quite similar up top, boost for kw that is.

now, begin!
