Kando Dynamics Turbo

[rondofj]

You obviously don't k ow how much I have had to spend on fabrication do you Ron..

Yes the Gtx would have been a few hundred more, bit the setup would be much simpler so I wouldn't be relying on alot of welding..and it makes more power..win Win

I heard even your turbo got welded to the manifold by Scotty..

[Hanaldo]

Eh, let him find out. $400 intake pipe in't gonna be so funny all of a sudden...

[ARTZ]

Yeah, it is cheaper but cost isn't everything results is what's Important..

I have said this all before but lookong at MickO and silvers2 results, if I had to do it again that's the way I would go..I am only talking about lowmount stock manifolds though..for hi-mount its kandos all the way .

For you maybe, but for me its just a hobby, a street car, a money pit - money spent on cars NEVER come back, hence you gotta be smart and not splurge on unnecessary things.. And Hanaldo, a $400 intake pipe will always be funny, even if I went IWG Garrett, I would still have to make an intake pipe, still have to modify my dump, still get new lines/gaskets, still get a 90 deg elbow, the only extra with the Kando is the welding of the gate to housing and plumb back. Correct me if wrong? AND the kando comes with the lines n gaskets.

[ARTZ]

The water lines are junk that I will replace asap..the gaskets I didnt even use..welding a gate on the housing and a proper plumback is going to set you back around 500 easily...

Look I'm not saying I don't like my setup, its great..but it's simply not worth the effort when you could mount a garret In Your driveway in a weekend and get a better result..even a HG is a better option..

1 big expense Vs a lot of little ones..you choose.

Come back once you've done it, you can buy us a beer.

OOFT these are big words man. Not convinced.

I honestly like his thinking and plan. It sounds fine to me.

Not sure why your not keen on it, and I dont find the GTX results that amazing. Ron wants that ZING feeling, I think he will get more zing from the 20G than he will the GTX.

[ARTZ]

I'm not keen on it on stock manifold setup. Cause I know how much of a f**k around it is to setup..

Its not that I am against it , but there is far easier ways to get the same result..

Anyway its Ron, its never gunna happen anyway.

[Manuel Kasko]

Ron wants that ZING feeling

I got something that can give him a ZING

A fark loads cheaper then his turbo

It is excitement attempting and succeeding doing little things yourself, not to mention saving big $$ instead of giving it away to some rip-off workshop, I have installed my FMIC and piping, my fuel pump, coilpacks and spark plugs, wired in the Z32, replaced my dump & front pipe, changed all the oils/fluids and filters myself, all through the help of this forum. Heck I could even do the turbo easily too, except for the welding/fabrication bit..so it will happen ARTZ...

[Manuel Kasko]

Syphilis?

No thats just your mum!

[ARTZ]

so who's doing your fabrication?..

[dori34]

Good luck Ron,

hope you will be happy with the results.

[rondofj]

so who's doing your fabrication?..

Dont know yet, heck I could even go attempt that myself, they say success comes with multiple failures..

im thinking about doing a night course at tafe for welding, for the same reason.

i tried my hand at arc welding a decking out of tube steel with my dad, did a pretty decent job if i might say so myself.

the old man reckons a MIG is a lot easier to use so im considering doing the tafe bit to learn some skills and maybe try make my own dump for my Kando (will be ordering very soon now).

[Cowboy1600]

In Kando's defence, he supplies a good quality, well performing product, at a third of the price of comparable products. You cannot really expect to also receive grade A service on top of that, especially when dealing via eBay (although, I did when I dealt with him). It's a trade-off, you have to take the good with the bad.

That's bullshit.

Saying "you're getting a good price so don't expect good service" is a cop out.

Look at how Stao deals with his clients. I reckon he's providing a top notch product at a very good price with mind bendingly good service to boot.

After what I've read here about his shitty service I won't be contemplating buying his products. And I am in the market for a 250-300kwish bolt on for an RB25.

I buy stuff from eBay a lot and have rarely receive anything but A+ service and have been happy to say so in my feedback. I've also told it how it is on the rare occasion that the service hasn't been that forthcoming.

I agree with you Cowboy. But that's not exactly what I was saying. What I was saying, is that a bit of leniency should be given when dealing with a business who obviously is not making as much profit on a product as they potentially could be (ie: the kando turbo's - Good product for a great price). The money they save on not hiring, and training more staff, is probably a big part of the reason their product costs us a lot less.

My experience with Kando was positive, although he did send me an incorrect flange with my turbo, he did correct the mistake at no cost to me whatsoever, even though I had only noticed their mistake 1 year after I had purchased the turbo. I attribute this mostly to my being patient, not pressuring him, and not being rude (it took them just over 2 weeks to get the correct flange to me, as they had to source it from another factory) he was very appologetic at the end of it all. Even though the mistake was made (people do make mistakes) he rectified the mistake without drama. I still class this as good service.

You also have to look at his feedback record. 99% positive out of nearly 7000 transactions. He must be doing something right.

Perhaps that other 1% just have much higher expectations on the kind of service they should be receiving, even when they are getting a bargain.

[ARTZ]

People just read what they expect to hear..

I got good service and now I have a powerful car..

but you can't argue with a closed mind..
