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.

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.

is that in reply to my post?

I was talking about the slide turbo. >_<

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

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
