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.

      Import insurance in 2025

      My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.

      A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call

      I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛

      Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
