define better?

build quality?

warranty support? ease of installation? transistent throttle response? wide open throttle response? resistance to surge? corrected airflow vs pressure ratio? options of bearing and wheel variants?

do you see the issue? so many variants, options, and it's open to interpretation

or are you comparing for a simple flat out which makes more rwkw at 20psi ?

i reckon both are ordinary turbochargers and there are a lot better units out there, but if i had to put money on one of them i would put $5 on the KKR over the atr43

atr43 is alot better overall then the KKR turbos in my opinion. As seen in the hypergear thread there are several results and people that go with it are very happy as if on a budget you cant beat it. On the other hand all you hear about people using KKR is poor performance and having issues with them. Also youll get alot more support with a hypergear turbo as stao is more than happy to help hes customers.

If it's KKR, does it matter where you are? You'll still have to get it taken off and sent somewhere. Stao has a quick turnaround with warranty issues, and will be VERY helpful with troubleshooting and any assistance he can give you....get that from another manufacturer (other than GCG, I'm sure they're just as good)

've got a KKR560 in my 33. Friend has a 34 with stock turbo, both have exhausts, powerfc's, front mounts etc... I can't believe how much more responsive his car is. Mines got more power, but it's much less driveable on the street.

Where you that suprised?

I mean really.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
