HKS GT2535 (350HP) GT2540 (400HP)

HKS GT-RS (400HP)

HKS GT2835 PRO S (450HP)

All the above will bolt onto stock manifold, and use stock dump pipe (apart from the 2835 but if you buy the kit it will come with the dump pipe).

Will make good power with a aftermarket fuel pump, injectors, afm and ecu

ZOMG FLAMES OF THREAD DOOMMMMMM !!!!eleven

USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION...... oh wait it Broken and comes up with some french error crap. WTF

Board Message

Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information.

The error returned was:

Erreur Sphinx : searchd error: unknown local index 'ipb_search_topics' in search request

Merci de contacter un Administrateur !

Anyway a hiflo is the only thing that will bolt straight up. A HKS 2530 or 2535, GTRS, 2835 etc will bolt up to the manifold, but oil lines and dump will have to be replaced with different ones. But any garret 2871 would be sweet for 350RWHP.

Good luck

While HKS are awesome they are a lot more expensive, then again the kit comes with everything you need (oil/water lines, gaskets, bolts, etc). I hear HKS are pretty much Garret turbo's re-engineered for more response/power.

Tell us how much money you want to spend, and what mods you already have.

Search the forced induction thread

Hypergear seems to have a good results for huflowing and for just under $1000 including oil/water lines its pretty good bang for buck

i think the KKR turbos from otomoto needs a new dump pipe?

if you want bolt on go the HKS range they are bolt on provide good response but they can be dear, how ever they always pop up on yahoo auction, HKS2535, GT-RS is good turbo for 300-350 hp range and response is like nearly same as the stock turbo :)

HKS GT2530,2535 and GTS-RS Use the stock flange for the dump pipe so you can use your stock one or an aftermarket one if you already have one. Also from my experience you can also use the stock lines (water and oil) on the 25** series turbo.

GT-RS comes in a kit with everything you need as does the 2835 PRO S

Jap brand turbos are a rip off, go with garett.

How are they are rip off?

Firstly i think your 270rwhp figure is inaccurate. Could be a happy dyno but you wont have that power with those mods.

I am going to assume you mean you want 350rwhp

3k will not cut it

you will probably need a gt3076r or gt3071r may scrape that power. $1900

injectors & z32 afm $1200

custom dump and cooler piping $500

oil and water lines $300

New computer $1650 vipec

bosch 044 fuel pump $250

Tune $500-800

$6300 - 6600

Thats without labour as well. Your dreaming if you think 3k will get you 350rwhp

And yes you can use garrett turbos on stock manifold. Just use spacer or a few gaskets.

I think you either gotta bust out some serious doe for an upgrade or be happy with mild mods.

Then keep in mind you will gain lag with the bigger turbos.

If you went the hks route it would probably cost another $700 ontop of that

How aren't they a rip off? GT-RS are around $3500 for the kit, I would rather buy a GT3076 kit which is cheaper and has WAY more potential

When the exchange rate was really poor around the 60 mark, i bought in a GT-RS kit which cost $3000 all up

Now that the exchange rate is back up you will be looking around the $2500 BRAND NEW.

which is very good bang for bucks! complete kit inc all lines and gaskets, for a between 300 - 400rwhp doesn't seem like a rip off.

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
