Hey guys just wondering the garrett and kkr compare? I have herd alot about the KKR turbo's and just wondering if anyone is ussing the KKR version which is similar to the gt35/40? And what sort of power they are achieving? cheers in advance.

kkr oil cooled well the ones i have seen kkr are just re badged cheapish turbos that seem to last my brother knows more about it then me as his mate imports and sells them

Arnt KKR the same turbo's used by Porsche? even the ls1 kits all come out wit the KKR turbo's. I thought they were ment to be quite a good product?

we will find out soon as i just ordered the kkr - 480 should have it on by the weekend.

yeah i am very interested myself about finding out more about the quality of these turbos as i want to get 2 of them for my 355 ,also are the JJR turbos a copy of the KKR turbo's as i have seen the on ebay and from what i have heard they are of poor quality! i have only heard GOOD about the KKR ones so far so fingers crossed they will be a good turbo to use , will soon see as alot of people are now buying them! Porsche turbos are KKK not kkr's!

Porche use KKK and not KKR

a mate of mine had the kkr on his twin turbo club sport and they kept blowing and replaced them 4 times then went to garret and never had a problem

the kkr turbos come in the ls1 twin turbo stuff, ive heard many stories of turbos blowing on more than one occasion, thats why i went for a big single garrett

kkr are supposedly pretty good for a cheap china turbo made of good material well designed core and bearings i think you can even get garrett rebuild kits to fit some of them although not 100 percent if you have the money but go a garrett

In the end i suppose you cant really go wrong with a garrett.

i'll keep you'll posted how mine works out... should be on by 2morrow night...

BLITZ, japan, from memory use KKK aswell Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I think there is a very good chance that the KKR and JJR turbo's would both be coming out of the same factory in China. Old Porsche's use KKK turbochargers. KKK has now changed names and is called 3K / BorgWarner / Schwitzer. KKK, 3K, BorgWarner, Schwitzer turbos have nothing in common with the cheap Chinese turbo’s.

I think the new porche's now use garrett as the ones fitted use variable venturis instead of a wastegate.

***n problems. whoeover says the kkr480 bolts straight up... your dreaming. new oil feed and return lines. grind the manifold. put a 10 mm spacer, longer studs, new dump, cut the actuator bracket into a million bits and rebuild it... (still dojn't know it thats even working. AND NOW I GOT A SWEET LEAK COMING FROM BETWEEN THE 2 HOUSINGS.

kkk kkr= big difference

arent all kkr turbos journal bearing anyway?
