Got my car back on the weekend

[Low Tech]

All the work done on my car was done by my mate kirk.

Started off with a 96 RA half cut with around 90,000ks on it.
Added to this was a KKR-430 turbo (cheap as chips, thanks to russ for more or less paying for this :P)
This meant custom up pipe, custom down pipe and custom work to add on the 38mm Tial Wastegate.
600x300x100 (maybe 380?) FMIC was then put in, without loss of the foglights, the loss of these was due to my smash and crash. 3" coldside and i think 2.5" hotside, courtesy of kirk.
Custom parrallel fuel rails were made up by kirk that look the ****.
Custom 3" turbo back exhaust also done by kirk, comes free of a cat which will get sorted at some stage.
550cc injectors, walkbro fuel pump (dave installed this so i pray every night that it wont blow up).
Added on a few lil bits and pieces like a turbo timer, boost guage and dual stage boost controller (kirk had one laying round)
This is all run by an LT10 Microtec

Pics of car itself?

Engineer will have no issues aslong as it passes emissions. In theory, but i guess we will see.

Heh completely forgot to take pics of the actual car, will get them sorted tonight

[evil_rex]

looks good mate,

yeah whole car pics please :)

[nick e[v]ans]

That's a really neat engine bay mate.

[NRGIZE]

very nice mate :) good setup also... anything with over 200kws is a weapon!!! u should run low 12's/high 11's???

[soo08y]

nice work..........have you driven it yet??? how does the the KKR perform????

[tbear]

looks great mate! go the high mount turbos!

[Fergo]

more pics of the whole car, it must look porn I want to see.

I have driven the car and it goes like stink when its on boost. Very impressed with the kkr for the price you pay. The lag is not that bad either, full boost is reached just shy of 4000rpm and holds it hard through till the redline.

Some suspension upgrades and it will be a sweet overall package cam :wink:

[Low Tech]

Light was fair shyt when i ended up getting home from work and the pics turned out crap so im going to get some better ones and will throw them up. Doesnt help when the rest of the car looks like shyt, i thought crashing it would be fun so the rear bar is screwed and the windscreen is cracked. Will be getting them both fixed soon.
Dave is right full boost just before 4000 then more or less snaps the taco, is a good feeling and damn happy with the KKR. Suspension will definately need to be done, she squats when boost comes on and it just doesnt feel right.
So yeah there are a few more things that need to be fixed up and sorted but damn happy with it

[magicsun]

that looks hotness, congrats on a nice ride mate, and white rims MY FAVOURITE

[scooby85]

car looks sick as mate! love the high mount! im getting that done too! hey al? haha!

[Raz]

Given the apparant cost of those KKR Turbos, a fair amount of thought prevoking is going on this end of the ether! Dave, we need to talk!

[Mouse]

hmmm wow looks very nice, high mount turbo looks the goods

[rs guy]

thats some impressive figures there
looks hot with the high mount turbo :)

[Tank Subie Wagon]

How much are the KKRs goin for ?

[libertyb4]

The kkr turbos are from OTOMOTO in rydalmere aren't they???? IF thats the same one im thinking about then its not a ball bearing, but a bush?? Yep just checked the website. $829 for the KKR 430. Nice turbo for the price then. www.otomoto.com.au

[Low Tech]

Yeah its a bush bearing turbo, and mine cost a little bit less than $829. But still for the price you cant go wrong

[Low Tech]

Few pics not so great but eh

[RSLegacy90]

[callan_01]

very nice sleeper mate, especially with the 2.5 badge!

[yods]

gravedigging this to see how its going ~ year or so on...kkr holding up to punishment?

[evil_rex]

from what i heard there is a 2.5ltr in the pipeline;)

[DWBN]

turbo still pulls hard. This car is farkin quick but is crying out for straight cuts :wink:

do it cam. 7k launches all day

[Low Tech]

Hahaha both are on the cards boys, slowly getting some money together for the block and gearbox but i keep spending all my money on alcohol.

Hell im just proud that im finally getting my suspension sorted out and my tyre fixed hahahaha. One day should probably look at the rear bar to but racing tape is tremendous.

KKR is definately still holding up well, havent had a single problem with it after a year of no bov and a lead foot.

[mitch]

Wow cam, and all you need now is 4 matching rims :P

[Hodgey]

Wow cam, and all you need now is 4 matching rims :P

But if you're poor because you're drunk a lot thats not such a bad thing after all is it now! LOL

[SHEPPO3930]

i gotta say, that turbo install is wicked! top work!! full credit to the bloke(s) who were responsible.

on the subject of being poor due to drinking....... i had to basically stop going out for a year to save for the deposit on my house! that was a hard 12 months!!

[JAD_NOOSE]

id be rich to if i didnt drink or still poor and have one of the fastest rs's. top marks for the under bonnet workmanship mate. what kind of psi are you runnin?
