HKS 3037 tuning results

[Steve]

sorry dont have any photos of the current setup, but may be able to borrow a digi camera on the weekend.

the HKS 1.6, according to HKS drops CR to 8.6:1. I also had the head skimmed before it was replaced, but I doubt it would have made much difference.

[RS500]

cool, thanks steve.

RS500,

HKS List a a few thicknesses of head gasket in the GoodsMaster, I'll check them out for ya when I get home off this nightshift malarky

Steve,

Would appreciate if you can manage that, I'm especially interested in the turbo / manifold side of the engine.

Is the 3037 a straight bolt in with minimal modifications?

Not really, seeing as it uses an external wastegate.

[Guest INASNT]

custom manifold, external gate, new cooler piping, new exhaust dump pipe/wastegate pipe etc its not minimal at all, just like any high mount turbo setup

[Guest Robo's]

Isnt there an internal 3037 though?

[jmp]

But it's still a highmount AFAIK which means new manifold at least.

Thats the 3037 pro s.

Talk to any tuner and they will tell u that if u want something as big as a 3037 u will might as well also get a new manifold or it will be a waste of time and $$

Steve, buy a digi cam and stop spending money on your car ! ! !

[RB20LagWagon]

Oh yeah, thats the shit, looks decent but more importantly is functional

[JasonO]

steve,

how low does the CR drop with the 1.6mm h/gasket?

From the HKS GoodsMaster for the RB25DET

• 1.2mm = 9.0
  
• 1.6mm = 8.6
  
• 2.0mm = 8.3
  

[JasonO]

Does the GT3037 fit in with the stock plenum ?

[Guest INASNT]

yes

[rbs13]

plenum aint gont nothing to do with it.. but yes.. you can fit any turbo with the stock plenum

thanks for the info dude.

I was meaning from a physical POV because the high mount sits in the space that the stock inlet piping uses to return from the IC.

Obviously the IC needs uprating, which in turn brings about a pile of new piping to the inlet......I was just enquiring if there was enough room to clear it.

Thanks INASNT :nowigetit
