Finally blew the ceramic warrior...

So now im looking at a replacement,

opting for a KKR 430 bolt on.

price being the main factor...

however for an extra $120 I can get it on a low mount stainless manifold.

Is the manifold worth it and will it have any performance gain in what is a very mild modified car??

EXH, Pump, int. etc.

Would like to hear from any one who has a kkr on their car!

Cheers Damo

i dont have a kkr but i just thought id give you some advice. im not saying that its a crap turbo because ive never experienced it myself but there are better options for the price. with this turbo, on an rb20, ull experience more than ideal lag. also this turbo is not completely bolt on. id say if u want a quick street car, get a r33 turbo highflowed, or if ur on a budget, just get an r33 turbo and you should be seeing 180+rwks. But the best bang for buck at the present time appears to be the slide highflow. if u want response and good midrange, instead of excessive midrange forget the kkr turbo

just advice, what you do is up to you... :whistling:

dont listen 2 him bud. turbo bolts on fine, did it in a day with a mate.. Only thing u gotta do is block some oil return lines n rotate the wastegate 2 fit as it hits on ur suspension tower in the engine bay.. The turbo is quite laggy, but that has 2 be expected if ur not planning on doing other mods 2 go with it. Mine comes on boost at about 3,800 n full boost by about 5,000. No need for a flash manifold, however u may aswell get one i spose as i had 2 rip the heatshield off the stock one 2 make it fit.. So it looks 'average' lol.

Anyways unless your going 2 spend a lil more money besides the turbo.. U probably wont get alot out of it as you wanted. The dump pipe that KKR makes is 2 small aswell, its on my car n its a V band flange or wateva its called.. It needs 2 be larger so thats the only downfall ive found with it. Ive had the turbo on my car for about 4-5months now n have had no trouble at all with it. Am only running a low 10psi/12psi though.

Good luck with your turbo set up,

Steve.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
