I recently purchased Dan/Halle's old HKS 2835 Pro S and am getting it fitted by Sam at Dr Drift at the end of the month.

My concern is though; Sam told me, because the bellmouth of the turbo is 4", that a 4" intake will need to be fabricated to stop compressor surge occurring. Unfortunately this means, having to fit a 4" pod filter because I don't want to butcher the standard airbox and relocating the Z32 AFM to the cold pipe because it's only 3". Which then means having to relocate the bov so it doesn't count the recirculated air again (I think). All which means a lot more money to get the thing installed.

My question is: The HKS kit, brand new, comes with a solid 3" intake with a 4" to 3" reducer which can be directly bolted to airbox. I can't imagine HKS would release a kit that is prone to surging. Should I pay Sam to do all the extra work, or is it not necessary and can I save myself a lot of money just asking him to fabricate and fit a 3" intake.

Anyone running the same kit, what did you do?

Cheers

I ran a GT30 4" intake that fed back to a Z32 AFM size... 24psi/370rwk was no issue on fuel, 270rwkw on 17psi on PULP.

As long as there is a reasonable amount of 4" piping to a reducer to the AFM size, it'll be fine.

There was a thread about this recently actually, ended up 2-3 pages long with examples of a 3" to 4" pipe, lots of setups 300rwkw without a problem.

WTF? That is nonsense >_<

Sorry, you're right. It was something else that he tried to explain to me, but I didn't understand. Something about returning to idle after load could cause stalling.

Anyways, I called him back to question whether is was totally necessary. He convinced me I should do it anyway. Dr Drift comes highly praised from friend and here, I decided to trust his judgment. :D

Just FYI.... HKS provide the 4" to 3" reducer along with the 3" intake pipe with the kit.

I mentioned that, and asked why would they supply a suction pipe that could cause issues.

He replied with, HKS also sell shitty mushroom filters and the hectic ssqv :rofl:

    • Hey, yeah I really like the color. Only paint I'd rather have is KN6, but those are expensive. Right now I'm trying to get the car to the point where I can get it tuned to 370hp so the whole setup can be driven legally, and pass the next inspection that is already due anyway. Beyond that lots of rust fixing I'm afraid, winter project is most likely going to be a front end teardown and fixing the strut tower rust. I know these can be driven daily but I don't think I will do so anytime soon. Will post a build thread soon with a list of issues and futute plans.   Cheers
    • Wanted to reply to this topic. I'm in the somewhat same boat with our Stagea. I'm trying to install a different rear diff. The Stagea/Skyline uses mounts on top of the rear diff for the ATTESA pump. Any way you can relocate the pump? I did find this kit https://theskylineshed.com/products/nissan-oem-attesa-mounting-kit-to-suit-r32-r33-r34
    • So here's the deal, my wife picked up an S2 AWD Stagea. Super cool, clean car. Looks like the owner in Japan went track spec as it's got some heavy modifications including Exedy twin disk, tension rods, coilovers, GTR brakes, oil cooler & a Nismo 2 way rear diff. Now, cool mods for sure. But, she is just using this as a casual daily driver. The 2 way rear is AGGRESSIVE. It also has solid subframe bushings & poly diff bushings. So that doesn't help either. So far I've tried changing the diff fluid to the correct fluid. Even tried a little friction modifier. No help. This thing clunks, skips the tires & has some slight whine/NVH when driving. Might sound like I'm being picky, but just trying to find a better solution. Here in the states, it's impossible to find a Stagea rear diff. No luck. I do have a 300zx non-turbo diff. Same ratio, 5 bolt axles. On the Stagea, you need both front & rear diff ratios to match. This car is a 4.083. I'd like to just swap a normal rear diff into this thing. Nothing fancy. Even open diff is fine. She's not tracking the car LOL The difference is that the ATTESA pump mounts to the top of the rear diff. There are 3 total mounting points for the pump on top of the diff. With all this being said, what would be the best way to go about this? I could remove the Stagea diff & see if I could get somebody to possibly weld the 3 tabs/mounting points onto the 300zx diff so we could mount the pump on the 300zx diff. I could swap the internals from the 300zx into the Stagea diff but this is not in my comfort zone. Is it possible to mount the ATTESA pump to the underside of the car? Sorry for the paragraph. Just trying to figure out how to go about this. Any help is much appreciated!
