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 :)

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?

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
