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

    • Give it 40psi and send it to the moon
    • I suspect 550s are on the large side for happy operation with a stock/Nistune RB20 ECU. The Hitachi ECU doesn't love short pulse width operation, and the RB20 doesn't need much fuel at idle. Big injectors can be unpleasant. This could be contributing.
    • Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.
    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
