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?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
