Clown Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 Was looking into turbo's for both the Mr2 and the KE70 and found these Click here. anyone know if they are good, ok, avg.? Cheers guys, Joel. Quote
Corolla_Kid Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 I know kkk turbos are good but i dunno bout kkr lol. Quote
Biggo Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 Mate i dunno, These sound like the typical chinese ripoff brand. I wouldnt beleive everything the say (quaily german parts ffs!). If i were u id just chuck a used t25/28 on them (we talking the 2 or the KE70?). And for ~$200, you could get a couple, that way if one shits it self, you all good :wink: Quote
love ke70 Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 but a new turbo is always gonna be alot better than a second hand one simply because of how fast a turbo spins it undergoes alot of wear don't know about that particular brand tho Quote
Ke50 Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 HPI Magazine actually used one of these on their r32 4 door (rb24) and it made about 235kw at the wheels, using the kkr-480. they said the response is great for this size turbo, but said the 430 would be better suited to that particular engine. they havent seemed to have any problems Quote
irokin Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 These are terrible cheap chinese copys! ALWAYS BUY GENUINE TURBOS!!!! There are some even worse copys going around that wont even survive the first time you drive them around the block. The compressor and turbine wheels even LOOK unbalanced! As a general rule, if your not spending over $1500 for a brand new turbo theres something wrong (there are exceptions i.e. GT28R and GT28RS are around $1200 at the moment) Theyre not cheap items and never buy cheap turbos!

Clown Posted March 7, 2006 Author Report Posted March 7, 2006 Was thinking possibly both. Was more worried about longitivity (sp??) of the turbo more so then response etc. Quote
Biggo Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 Longitivity? Most people wont even bother to rebuild a trubo these days as the cost of a brand new one is cheap as. Ive heard good things about TD04's and 4AGE/ZE which can be found off the them sooby motors. Yes I'm probably biased but thats where i'll be heading in the distant future.. Quote
