Is anyone else waiting on r85 kit from KG? I ordered it thru Jason @ rx7store in october but have been getting nothing but problems. It's not Jasons, nor KG's fault though cause the company that KG sources the turbos from apparently has been dicking him around on the wait for the turbo.

Anyone else have this problem as well?

 

I must have gotten mine just before you as I ordered mine in late Sept/early Oct. and my car is finally back together.

Hopefully you'll get it soon. It's a nice piece, KD commented to me how nice it was.

Best of luck to you though. Keith will get it out to you as soon as possible, I'm sure. Great guy to deal with.

 

Keith is a great guy... I have ordered numerous things through him, and he is always prompt with his shipping. I have nothing bad that I can even think of him, I am sure, its not his fault. He is definetly a STAND UP GUY!!!!

no i totally agree. I recieved the fuel rails from jason (made by KG) and he also told Jason that he has the rest of the kit fully made and ready, but the company that makes KG the turbo is dicking him around on release time so its their fault.

 

just get the turbo elsewhere. i believe the r85 turbo is just the borg-warner s300.

 

Yeah, why have any reason to give your money to the guy who devoleped the kit for your car.

 

Ooohhh ... point made !!

 

My car is finally sitting in my driveway and although I haven't pushed it hard at all yet, I can tell you from the few times I've boosted it, this turbo comes on hard and fast. I was expecting to have a good amount of lag due to the size but this thing surprised me in how fast it spools up, Skip at KD said the same thing.

So althought waiting sucks, I can personally tell you this turbo is worth the wait.

 

true....i love it. kicks my old t78 in the ***. if you think that the turbo is a regular off the shelf borg...buy one.

 

anyone of you guys got some dyno #'s?

 

not yet. i should have some in the next week or so. i want dee to tune it but he is extremely busy.

 

I got a pm from keith sayin he got a packing slip from the company and should be getting it this weekend and i should hopefully get it next week sometime, woo!

 

"if you think that the turbo is a regular off the shelf borg...buy one."


So are you saying it doesn't start off life as a borg warner?

 

TEC puts the turbo together using some borg parts.

 

I Have a brand new R85 kit I might be willing to sell. My car is at Demitrios house and Im goin there this weekend. Looks like the car will be getting parted for a 3 rotor install my friend is doing so I have this kit. Its not installed yet so If anyone is interested Its for sale at face value.
PM me if you want it.

 

People like you amaze me. You don't even have a clue, yet you spread mis-information at whim.
