hmmm i found these KKR turbo's that dont look too bad good price for a brand new turbo.. anyone have one and can comment on response?

http://www.otomoto.com.au/kkr/KKR430.html or http://www.otomoto.com.au/kkr/KKR480.html

thats definately what i was looking at spending plus their already in australia and everything so yeah.. comments would be good =]

ah k yehh that was my friends idea lol i'd prefer just getting a proper high flow.. those KKR turbo's dont look too bad its just that ive been reading and apparently theres alot of modifications u have to make like getting the wastegate machined and things like that to get it to fit plus some people are saying it has overboosting issues and it has alot of lag... wander if the JJ version is the same or without those problems

Spend the extra time looking for a good r34 turbo, it's worth it with an rb20. If you go a hi-flow or even worse a kkr lag and response will be a big issue. You probably already know the stock r34 turbo has ceramic and nylon wheels to help it spool up quick so it's an excellent option; other advantages ball bearing cartridge, big exhaust housing, no fitting issues or dump pipe modification required, dirt cheap in comparison with an equivalent turbo.

Aim for average power rather than marginally more top end power as it pays off down the 1/4 and general driving around the street. As long as you don't go to far over 15psi the stock r34 turbos hold up well.

Id be going along these lines.

Spool cam gears in and ex ~ $200

R34 turbo ~ $400 (r32 11psi actuator, free off your stocker)

Full exhaust system 3" ~ $900 exhaust shop

Bosch 040 pump ~ $200

PFC ~ $1100 (really is worth the effort in finding one)

Tune ~ $250-$600 prices vary heaps with tuning

Intercooler Kit ~ $450 (Any Chinese kit will do)

i have one and theyre very laggy for the power they make IMO , if i were you id just buy a rb25 turbo and get a remap. think of it this way: its not about the number on the dyno, its about the driveability of the car :) . by the time your used to the powre you will have a lil more knowledge of where to go next :laugh:

BAMR33 : Where would i be able to find an R34 turbo? I did a search but couldnt find any for sale.. could u find any R34 turbo's up for sale? and do u have turbo name coz im pretty much just searching for "R34 Turbo" in the parts for sale area and getting nothing... i was thinking of putting a RB25 turbo in since its cheap but if i can get a R34 Turbo for around the same price i might as we'll go for that. Also with the setup u listed, how much KW would i be looking at with that setup?

Thanks

yeah no op6's for sale at the moment.. so im thinking that GT28RS would be the highest price im willing to go and its pretty much equivalent to the HKS GT2530 so cant go wrong read some good reviews that its very responsive and is good for about 230kw with support mods... only thing is if i cant find a T3 flange and have to get a T25/28 flange then i wander how much exactly i'll need to convert it to T3

Edited by cosmokram3r

2510/30 is small... u will regret it later on when your after more power, if you plan on keeping the car for a fair while just keep your current turbo and go for sumthing like a 3037s. dont b a cheapskate when it comes to upgrading your turbo... if you reallllly want more power just buy a cheap rb25 turbo and save up for a better snail later on just my 2cents...

nahhh i dont want too much power (still on my P's).. i just want that power that pushes u back in your seat u know.. ive been thinking alot about http://www.horsepowerinabox.com/HPIAB2/category12_1.htm Nissan Special Garrett GT28RS 350hp ball bearing turbo which is straight bolt on T3 flange and 6 bolt dump pipe for RB20/25 which is $1800.. its just all the supporting mods im gonna need to back it up the list just goes on and on.. PFC is gonna set me back alot so im thinking maybe wait till i buy every mod i want to do and get a re-map because after that i wont mod my car for a while and i know u need to re-tune every time u add more mods so if i just throw everything in and get it tuned i should be fine and then down the track look at getting a PFC

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
