Kando Dynamics Turbo

[ARTZ]

Stock airbox could lose you 5-10kw nothing to significant, i am thinking of adding a pod out the bottom of it as well through the unused intercooler hole .But the power delivery I find is different, it comes on smoother so full boost doesn't hit quite so hard, its a little more transient.. Also Trent set the gate up to ease onto boost which smoothed it out some more.. Change this and stick a pod on and I have no doubt boost would hit like a hammer.. Depends which you prefer I guess and this is the way i wanted it

My timing belt has about 60k on it now I will do cam gears when I change it..might give the Brae manifold a go to then too..For now i just want to enjoy driving it for a while.

Well I am getting my stock airbox today. Was going to put a 3" pipe into bottom and another into side with K&N air filter. I hope I am not spending $200 to lose power and response

[ARTZ]

Dunno Roy I hope not to mate..

ahhhhhhh cheers for the heads up. Yours really is close to the manifold. I'm pretty sure I can get my gate up a fair bit closer to the manifold. if not whats your feeling on me replacing the 40mm pipe with say a 50mm pipe while still using a 40mm gate.

I would have thought that a 40mm gate was too small for the application. I have a 44mm one with a smaller turbo and engine and it's probably only just up to the task. I would be looking at least at a 44mm or 50/60mm plus a larger pipe feeding it as you suggested.

hey urtwhistle, FWIW my 6boost has the gate just inches off the collector and points maybe 2 or 3 degrees northward (i suspect they do that to promote flow going towards the gate).

yours is both long and looks like it doesnt point up at all, just straight down. id say work on that, but i dont feel the comp 40 will hold you back at this stage

[GTScotT]

can u fit the td05 in the stock turbo position?

and ive got one of those china split dump screamers (havnt used it yet) could i just run an internal gate td05 with this so i dont even need a wastegate?

ill re phrase that for you, the TD05 can bolt up to the stock manifold (with a small spacer) they are the same flange type (T3 open).

the existing dump will be useless regardless of what Kando option you decide on... you will need to make a new dump and if you want the best results you will also want to use an external gate.

if you are thinking you want to keep things as bolt on as possible, you should really be looking at the hypergear thread. he also gets excellent results from his turbo, and picking one of these over his is usually only an interest factor. you could get out of it a lot cheaper if you just stick to hypergear.

maybe consider sending your stock turbo to him and having it rebuilt to suit the exact power you want.

I dont need it to stay stock, was just seeing what i can get away with. I don't mind going high mount if need be, ill just evaluate it when the time comes. cheers for all you're help.

Ok guys, for those that are interested I got my Kelway manifold today so here are a few pics.

He makes his own collector, he doesn't buy the pre made one.

Nice work Artz! would be interesting to take a ride in each others cars one day.

My gate pipe comes off the 6boost and turns like 130-140 degrees, the pipe is 300-400mm long, gate sits next to the PS rack. Definitely not an ideal setup if you go off all the recommendations in here but it controls boost perfectly..

Who cares... Just tune your billet wheel

Nice looking manifold. I wouldnt be fussed whether he makes his own collector or buys them, I just want someone to make one out of tube. Then we see how well they are fabricated and welded and it will be half the weight

[slippylotion]

By tube I assume you mean the material like used in s/steel manifolds? If so I'd rather the weight of steam pipe any day for its strength and ability to hold in more heat in comparison.

Nope

Think hes more referring to the thickness??? steam pipe is forgiving cause if your fab work is second rate you can just hammer it with the die grinder a luxury you don't get when working with 1.6/2mm tube... what wall thickness are the greddy manifolds Roy?

[Roy]

1.8mm from memory. Yeh, i think if you take a good welder who does welds in the biotech industry etc they will be able to fab a manifold that won't crack. I admit I am a bit stubborn on this point, but I have my reasons.

[slippylotion]

So what material exactly? And what are your reasons? You have me interested.

[ARTZ]

anyone know why my idle keeps bouncing between 1500-2000 whenever i pull up at the lights

it will settle after a bit (2-3 minutes maybe) but its got me stuffed, Trents been stuffing with it tune half the day but it still there, figure it must be something mechanical..AAC valve or a leak maybe..

[34GeeTeeTee]

Hunt at idle is weird... Weirder that it gets better... Assume you've checked for vacuum leaks etc? No ghey BOV or anything like that?

[ARTZ]

No ghey bov..really annoying cause aside from that car is running great..until it stops moving that is

[34GeeTeeTee]

I have no useful advice as I am useless... But what ECU out of interest?

[BLITZ-26]

Actially mine dose this sometimes ? when its cold then once it gets warm its fine??? ever since the front mount went on??
