Who has used a KKR turbocharger and what are your thoughts? they sell from otomoto for around 900bux, 260kw from a rb25 on 19psi, pretty damn good, but before i buy i want to know what are your thoughts...

thanks, phill

yeah i was tossing up between kkr and straight rb25 highflow from slide, but i havnt heard of anyone with a slide making over 250rwkw, my aim is sorta 250 - 265, for drifting really. i want really quick spool and bags of power, 3rd gear drift really.

ahh alright fair enough, the vband flange and the wastegate tucked up into the side doesnt look really that good. So you think the slide straight rb25 highflow is the go? good for drift? and also will it be reliable, like will it hold together after a good run?

I would say so... I personally don't own one so I really can't comment.

But if it were the KKR or Slide ... I would choose the Slide.

Then if I was willing to spend a little more I would look at the GCG or possibly a garrett item if a few modifications to ic piping didn't bother me.

hmm fair enough, looks like it will be the slide then :D a good tune with a pfc and 750cc injectors should see me 240 or so at the wheels :D also the cops wont be able to notice the turbo :D but they will hear my straight through 3" trust exhaust :)

and in dec or so im getting a pfc from performance wise, slide highflow, straight drop in injectors (whatever i can find) and hope for 240rwkw.

knock yourself out, but youve mentioned you want no lag.

that isnt possible and both the kkr and slide will have more lag the say a gcg hiflow, this is because its plain or journal bearing vs ball bearing. let us know how u go, interesting to see how it compares

not NO lag, MINIMAL lag, as in, i want to see full boost (roughly 16psi) before 3,500rpm and i want great consistancy. I know the slide highflow will deliver it, also i want the power to be a STRONG 240 or so kw. Good for the street and drift.

paul, ofcourse the gcg highflow will be better, but for 800 or so, would you complain if the turbo didnt come side by side with a 1,000+ turbo?

i will be getting the turbo and pfc by around start of december. I also need a new exhaust manifold gasket as mine is cracked, also will b replacing every stud and bolt on the exhaust side.

Should be very sweet and juicy :D

i am going the STRAIGHT RB25 HIGHFLOW, which is the r33 housing. The r34 and vg30 are high hp rated because they have bigger housings etc, the straight r33 highflow is what i want, also 240 - 250 rwkw with good spool is my aim.

go for it, but *it may* be prone to failure more than a ball bearing unit if you suddently shut off the engine oil + water feed. sure theres a minimal chance, but its a chance.

i understand that there will be more of a chance because the quality in the slide highflow doesnt compare to lets say a garrett unit or a gcg unit. You pretty much get what you pay for. But anything that is better than a stock turbo is good :(

Its not the quality its the nature of the bush setup.

Garret journal/bush have exactly the same issues if shut down while spinning hard. i.e an accident.

But saying that I've seen a turbo from japan that was BB and came off a car that was in an accident. The bearings were stuffed.

good point, hey if the car is a write off, the turbo is the last thing on your mind. Ill purchase this turbo when i do turn 18 (november 23) onwards, install, tune etc and let you know about the power i get. So far i have 209.5rwkw on 11.5 - 12psi.

so about the bush bearings. When i turn the car off it hasto idle for around a minute or so? so the turbo can wind down? yes?

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
