So the prices from JDMPerformance are over the top?
Just a tad.. lolOriginally Posted by smohekey
Size comparison of two turbos.
Well you guys from NZ might be better off getting it shipped from Australia, either that or checking ebay? I'm not sure whether those ones on there are genuine though? Do ur research first.
JDMPerformance are very expensive.
He siad he will give me a good price on slicks, when he told me the price I shat myself.

Hmmm.... looking at the KKR main website (in china btw) they only come with a 6month warranty and it looks like a lengthy process.
1994 Galant VR-4, 6A13TT conversion 230kw atw
2000 Legnum VR-4, Daily driver
1995 FTO GPX
Found the main website here

You're right about the warranty being 6 months, someone told me 1 year, but yeah, I read it also... but from what I hear they are used by drift racers, and they still honor the warranties for those guys.
Hmmmm.....
They must also be made in China too, though they do link to the aussie website.
They have the specs up on the KKR 300, it's a lil less powerful by the looks of things.

I had a talk to the guys @ Otomoto and a pair of 280's shipped to nz is 1500.
How much was shipping? I'll find out where the dude who bought mine got them from. He paid around NZ$1200 for two.
That was 1500 aud including shipping to nz...
That would be cool if you could find that out.
i sent them a price request for 2 shipped to florida and this is what they sent me.
don't think this price includes shipping though

Hey Mart,
On monday morning he had the Dump pipes in, from here it was just plumbing up the water and oil lines. Will go in this afternoon (as I type this it is 8am on Wed) and check it out. Should be very close.
Oh and Candee I will try to remember to ask where he got those turbos.. sorry I totally forgot.
Yo Mac, I can source adapter plates for you and probably those turbos at AU$1000 for two, just gimmi a few days to find out details.
The engineer said he may be able to do a complete "Bolt on" kit, which could comprise of:
Manifold adapter plates
2 x custom dump pipes ( the reddish iron looking bit which comes directly off the turbo (see photos) which will bolt directly onto RPW's shiny 3" front pipes)
Oil filter relocation kit
Custom front engine mount
Maybe even custom oil and water lines
But lets see how this all goes, if it actually spools up quick and makes good power, then we can look at doing a kit. Be patient.
EDIT: Went in this morning and he was mega busy on some new silvia drift car (thing had a huge TD06 in it) Didn't want to bother him, so it looks like the waiting continues....

Cheers for the update. I would definitely want the upgrade kit so count me in on that mate. How long til you get the car running?
Mart.
Impossible to know? I thought it would be done by now, seems that the last little bits are taking ages. Hopefully soon.....
Isn't that always the way? You get all the really hard stuff done (fabrication, pipework, mounting etc) and get hung up getting a couple of oil-lines made, or wiring the MAP sensor or something equally stupid.
So here's the update:
That bloody motor-vation car show in Perth on this weekend has held everything up. Wayne sponsors some of the cars entering, and a few of them came running in demanding him to drop everything and work on their cars immediately.
Only update is that the oil and water lines will be fitted this afternoon, and then on Monday the Turbo Y pipe and the last few bits of plumbing. ETA is wed next week. The cost....hmmm... this I'm afraid of.
Good news is that it has all actually fitted and worked out, and if the turbo spools up well and makes decent power, then the goal has been achieved of a turbo upgrade. From all this come a genuine opportunity of an almost bolt-on turbo upgrade kit for the 6A13TT.
No need to change the radiator either check the pic below, just shave an inch off the plastic casing.
But lets see the dyno print out first.

PLEASE post your dyno readings: am very very curious to see spool charecteristics etc.
Also, what ECU arrangement are you running to control all this?
Piggyback? Standalone?
Initially I will use haltech miniceptor, will see how i go as it doesn't support bigger injectors, after a few weeks I go for the E11 full ECU replacement.
Interesting Choice.
I take it yours is a manual?
