Hks 3037 Pro S Results

[Marco-R34GTT]

Love the turbo whine/induction noise in first...

Sounds ricey but awesome.... I bet it would get some looks aye..

What injector duty cycle are you running at that power level?

Hi all , the Pro S versions of the 2835 and 3037 usually work better than generic Garrett versions because they are model specific and tailored to suit the engines state of tune . Its all in the housings and dump .

Good results , I've often wondered how the 0.68 A/R 3037 Pro S shaped up on an R33 RB25DET .

HKS went to a fair bit of trouble with their GT Pro turbine housing and dump pipe for a reason - they work .

Does anyone with access to Nengun/Greenline know what they charge for this kit ATM ?

Are you intending to run the poncams to finish it off ?

Cheers A .

I got mine on order from ebay motors at just a bit over $3700 delivered for the full kit. I should be receiving it next week

One interesting fact is that if using the OEM exhaust manifold, the HKS housing has to be relieved to match the larger than T3 flange on the manifold. So it bolts up, but still has the same slight mismatch facing the Garrett housing.

I'll have to grab a vid of the garrett equiv to the hks3037s; its quite a bit louder even with a stock air box.

Dale.. A friend recently did this with his gt35r 1.06 iw bolted on to the std exh. manifold and picked up ~20rwkw.

20kW is a LOT. That lip might only be 5mm or so, but it's got to cause problems with achieving smooth efficient flow into the turbine. The stock manifold does a good job, but the system doesn't need restriction like that when it's reasonably easily fixed.

The HKS unit runs a bell mouth insert within the compressor snout. Does anyone know if these are available for purchase? When looking into the inducer of the housing as supplied by Garrett, you can see the square edged lip that the insert sits into. That in itself would not work well for flow, and has to add to the HKS branded item. Just wondering.

I put a video response on that youtube vid of my Skyline (and a mates Supra - unfortunately I don't have video editing software to remove that bit ) blatting up the road in a similar kind of way, you can hear my Garrett 56T GT3076R with .82a/r rear housing doing the same thing. Definitely has a noticeable difference in spool sound etc. Exhaust note sounds a bit different though there are a few differences in setup between mine and Jasons - one of the majors being his being tuned on 17psi with 95 octane and mine being on ~1bar on 98 octane.

INJ duty cycle is 69%

I agree, that lip would cause a bit of restriction, i didnt even think to check the internal measurements of the stock manifold flange compared to the exhaust housing, would have a gained a decent amount of flow/repsonse/power if i had the turbo matched to the manifold, anyway this might be fixed in the future, i already have a few plans in my head which involve a new custom made manifold
