id go 430 for rb 20 and 480 for 25 (based on what i saw from the Forced Induction - Turbo upgrade threads).

Also the GT Autosound LS1 R34 is using twin KKR turbos.

Ive read they are German made...so it must be good :)

here is all the stuff on the kkr 480

Big power potential at a bargain price

I think you are thinking of the KKK turbochargers which are German.

These ones are chinese turbos, and they are crap to say the least.

Reported needs of fijity modifications to the dump pipe to fit it on the stock manifold, and because of these modifications the turbo could be put on with a bit of stress on one side of the mounts which will cause something to break. Also you have to watch out for the oil lines going to the turbo and find out if they have to be bigger or not... Sounds like a whole lot of stuffing around if you ask me or anyone else in forced induction.

Suit VL Commonwhores.

hahaha so what would be the best turbo for price and drifting out of all the turbos and could you give me a little bit of info on them because im researching and trying to get the best value for money and i dont want some crap chinese turbo that will blow up as soon as it hits the boost

to be honest, to be proper you would want to have about 2,500 bucks handy and set aside for doing it and have an EMU already.

I have a highflow turbo and its on the stock ecu and im getting, well i was getting 230kms per tank while driving. not exactly good economy. Tune it with a power fc or an emanage and expect it to feel much better and return good economy.

What turbo you ask? a Garrett or a HKS option would be good. I have heard nothing but good things about HKS GT-RS.

I have just installed a KKR430 turbo to my RB20. The bolt on really easy. I got the RB dump pipe to suit too, so that made life a little easier too. The only mods you have to do are the turbo outlet (not being the normal three bolt nissan, so it takes a silicone 90degree bend and a bit of intercooler piping to fix) the turbo inlet (I just cut down my standard intake pipe so it was big enough to fit) and a little bit of grinding on a bulbus fixing point for a bolt on the exhaust manifold. So all up it was a really easy fit!

Hey guys

Yeah i ran one on my Cefiro last year, good turbos for the price however without a tune/remap they are ultra laggy, as you would expect throwing a larger then stock turbo on without touching it. With a remap i picked up a fair wack of responce but i still had no power below 4000 rpm... above that it just took off.

Then on the 32 i fitted a Sliding highflow on my rb20, which i found to be better in terms of responce and power, not to mention ease of fit.

I now have a RB25 and stock turbo lol... but im more then happy with it atm (215 rwkw and loads of torque)

i had a kkr 430 on my rb25det. it was alright i thought. had no problem with it at all. but id go with the hks gt-rs aswell. heard very good feedback on them. and has a nice power curve. i think im going highmount on my next rb25. :thumbsup:

    • 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
