hmmm... close to 4k with the GCG - i disagree.

Having been in Bass_Junky's car... i can say it has a fark load of mumbo @ 4k. As opposed to "coming on" at "4k"

That thing is as responsive as a stock turbo with an extra ~50rwkw

If you ask me, the GCG, cost vs gain... is the best bang for buck (~250rwkw) money can buy.

Everything else is proportionatly worse... meaning, one might not be "too bad" but there is "better" out there.

Its all budget dependant Phil.

Cheers - ash

very very right ash, i dont have the cash for the gcg or i will go that one, or even get a 3040 externally gated and pump over 250kw. But i think the slide highflow is "alright" considdering its just a small upgrade, and not a permanent mod. Its something i want to have fun with then ill go the big mother setup.

i definetely aggree that bass junkys car mumbo jumbo's all day and night and that the turbo he has will be a pretty aggressive piece of material.

Having said i want to go for the slide highflow, it is better than the one i have now, and i want over 230rwkw and close to 250rwkw for now, as i will be drifting car with high revs it will be pretty good all in all.

just in defence of the KKR turbos, i think its amazing that they have actually built a china turbo to last more than 10 mins!

furthermore, my friends RB25 powered laurel made 290hp at the wheels yesterday with the following modifications

fresh RB25 stock

stock injectors

KKR 430

FMIC

Exhaust

Nismo FPR

GTR pump

Apex PFC

Stock manifold

info on the KKRs?

They are cheaper than new turbos should be

my buddy bolted one straight onto his motor with no mods and it pulls hard,

it hasnt died (yet)

it doesnt blow smoke (yet)

yeah the wastegate design is questionable, but his doesnt spike more than 1 or 2 psi on 1 bar. which is acceptable considering he's using a bleeder valve.

do those highflow turbos really make those numbers???

cos they are good numbers! and so cheap!

When you need to purchase the "Otomoto" dump, and its not a direct bolt on (thier own website, and other threads have been over this)

The overall cost to get a KKR onto a car is around $1500-$1700 depending.

IMO that suddenly makes spending the extra few hundred on something better pretty easy to stomach.

Sure the Chinese Turbo's are getting better.

Running them on a lightly tuned car with no demands is fine.

But if your thinking of further mods in the future, realiability might be a problem.

So I agree with Ash, spend the extra bucks for a proven formula .

Cheers :D

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
