Name This Part!

[PM-R33]

Ok just got a quick question that i want answering because i have asked a few ppl and no one knows what the hell this thing is for. Im pretty sure it's not really important and at first i didn't really care. However my curiousity is starting to get to me and i want to know what this is!

So lets play GUESS THIS PART!

What the hell is this thing in the HKS GT-RS kit?? I fitted the whole kit and it runs beautifully, but this part wasn't used and no where in the jap instructions does it say what it's for. So any one know or care to take a guess? I was thinking some sort of heat shield thing?

[700HP-GTR33]

Heat shield...or rubber/poly hose strengthener...my guess anyway...

[cosworth1971]

i know stuff all about turbs but it might go into a pipe(intake maybe) to stop it colapsing?

Hmm that a nice looking turbo :D

What power is your cra making now? Power fc?

What the complete kit set you back for?

Sorry i have no idea what that part is.....

My guess is a heat shield thats placed between the compressor outlet and exh manifold.

[Birnie]

Pretty sure its the heat shield that goes over the orange silicon hose.

Search for a kit installed and you should see what i mean.

ahhhh!! That actually sounds correct, looks to be the same size as the hose aswell. I think you are right, hahaha what a stupid part

Thanks man, my curiousity is gone now

Thanks man, it looks sexy as in the car. Here's a pic of it all installed. I got the kit off of nengun and it was around $2500 delivered, so a very good price in my books.

I'm still running it on the stock ECU (I know, i know i need a ECU!), but it runs ok on it. Comes on boost really early and pulls hard, sounds absolutely unreal! Really loud spool/whistle sound, i love it! But yeah i wanna get a power FC for it soonish if i can get my hands on one, then the fun will begin

Very nice and tidy.

Do I see some VHT Aluminium Paint on the exhaust manifold heat shield?

Thats a great price well done

Have you had the car dyno'd since putting it on?

You still sunning standard injectors and afm?

[R33silverS2]

Mmm your enjoy bay looks very slick indeed. Nice

[PM-R33]

Stock injectors and AFM at the moment. I havnt had the car dynoed since the new turbo so ur guess is as good as mine to what it would make. Ill probably get a SAFC for now and see how far i can push that. The next performance step is to go a Power FC and injectors but like with most mods, money is holding me back for the time being.

Yeh i know what you mean!

Ive got around 200rwkw but am considering a turbo upgrade, but its all the stuff that has to go with it that is holding me back - pfc, injectors, afm, clutch - it all adds up so quickly!

I reckon the Jaycar Digital Fuel Adjuster kit is pretty cheap if you can build it yourself though like any intercepter will run into RR if pushed . PFC falls in - just about and tune to hearts content .
