Anyone used the R85 turbo from KGPARTS as it looks like a good bit of kit and good value?
Cheers Jay...:wave
There is one member in the UK who will be recieving theirs shortly.
it has been shipped and member will be recieving it in the next two days.
I can tell you that keith and demetrios are great guys to deal with. They are both informative and helpful when you need it, even if its dumb questions. Demetrios built my motor and in the next 2-3 weeks I expect to have it finally running. That r85 kit is huge and is going on a friends car, should be a monster. They wouldnt dick you around, and instead of using one turbo for every car like the t78. t88 etc. they took the time to develop for the rotary. Well worth the $$$$
thanks for the kind words. :)
BTW, the first one has landed in the right hands. maybe he can chime in. ;)
wouldn\'t be for a certain yellow car would it ?
not sure what color car the owner has. It went to London England... I know he reads the forums, just dosent reply much.
Would you consider a discount if a few people ordered at one time?
No it\'s for a red car. I have not been down in person yet but sen pics my mate sent me and it looks lurvly:D
rgds

Hi Mike,
Nah, l only have a pussy going on my car, it\'s a special GT42 hybrid Turbo with a 60mm wastegate from an Australian company that is now makeing these custom kits for my company to our spec.
I knew you were changing turbos ... guessed wrong as to where they were coming from tho\' :D see you sunday

once Tial finds a foundry they are happy with and can keep up with our orders, then yes... we could run a special. Right now there are so many things holding up production in bulk amounts that I would not want to run a GB just yet. after December rolls past... then we can talk. Dee and I are both self funded partners and have bills to pay just like every other shop. Keeping an inventory of (lets just say for argumnet sake of a GB) $7K just in wastegates dedicated to these kits is not very feasible at this time. As Erdin can atest to, production time is not quick. the thing people dont get, is that custom parts take custom time...
Like I said, after December is done, we will entertain the idea....

But once every thing is made its worth the wait, why buy a kit that is off the shelf when you can buy one that is made for the rotary from the start.
:wave
How does this turbo compare to the r85? It is a GT51R,I know little about it.I got it to put on a 20B,but now it is going on my 12A.:D

Thanks for the info on a group buy.:D
See Ben. It wont be sorted till the New Year anyway. Come to TAS 05! :D
Lol! I\'m probably getting ahead of myself turbo wise anyway, having her mapped this weekend after runing in for what seems like ages!! 16psi should make those twins give some kick, and stop my cravings for a big turbo.
So yeah I\'ll probably be going to TAS in 05 - you heading out too then? Wasn\'t sure??
Trying to work out what to purchase and where from beforehand as if I spend enough (funds permitting) the holiday will pay for itself in savings from FD parts purchases lol!!:rollin
Just the baggage weight limit that\'s gonna be a problem!! Guess I\'ll have to go for light parts!!

If your refering to the picturs i sent that is the R85 not a GT51R.

I\'m around 99% sure I shall be attending. As for shipping back of parts. Theres so much I want to bring back that I think I would have to register as MRC vendor :D
The best place to buy some of the parts should be at the Makuhari Messe centre as virtually every known good supplier would have a stand there :) Prehaps giving special discounts etc like usual. Will need a lot of running around but probably worth it.
ps bad boy, running twins at 1.2 bar! :D

Lol! :rollin
Not sure how much will be avalible at the show but I want to also go to as of the tuners garages as possible - maybe try to rent a car or something?? Can then also go to the weekend events of drift/C1/Wangan etc aswell as carting bits back to the hotel!!;)
Sounds good - buy as many bits from the show if cheap, check out the drift scence, wangan , C1 by night and trek the week to tuners.
Of course, using the public transport will be the easier option (getting lost, traffic, toll!) A large backpack each for trekking goodies back to Ryokan ought to do it. Although I have a cunning plan in getting a car for the week. Just need to make sure if it is possible. ;)
All sounds good to me! You\'ll have to let me know about that car option!!
1000bhp Skyline borrowed for the C1 should do nicley lol!!:rollin
