Dear friends

I need some advice regarding the HKS GT2530 turbo.

My current setup is as follows---

fuel system: Stock fuel pump

Stock injectors

Stock fuel pressure regulator

Splitfire coils

Platinum spark plugs regapped at 0.9mm

Induction: Stock afm

HKS airpod

600x300x100 FMIC

GFB bleed valve (at stock boost)

Drivetrain: Xtreme heavy duty clutch

exhaust system: HKS 3' dump pipe and front pipe

3' high flow cat

5Zigen 3' cat back with 5' muffler tip

Engine management: Stock ECU

I am currently on a tight budget. However, I previously bought a HKS 2530 kit with actuator and have it lying around in my room. I have been itching to bolt it on my car.

In about 3 months time when I will have the money, I am planning to install a Z32 afm, GTR fuel pump, Greddy Profec B spec 2 boost controller, Apexi Power FC.

The thing is......NOW, I want to install the turbo so i will not have it lying around and taking up space. i can then sell my stock turbo to make some cash. However, this turbo install will be done without the power FC ,Z32, boost control, fuel pump and fpr. I will then be running stock boost on the HKS turbo for 3 months till I can upgrade the rest.

Tell me what you think......will it work out.....Really need advice!

Cheers,

Your fren

Dan

Im pretty sure as soon as you bolt the turbo on, your air/fuel levels will be all wrong!

I did almost the same thing as you bolted my turbo on, then was too afraid to drive it, so it has sat in the shed ever since. Now i have all the parts on the car, and am waiting on getting it tuned!

I hope that helps!

Ive been there and done all the mods you want to do. Firstly its not going to run good with the stock computer even with a SAFC. Get a Power FC. Then turn up the boost. Stock fuel pump will handle about 16psi and then will struggle to supply more. i ran 18psi but with the stock fuel pump but it was running lean (12.7-1) in the midrange. Get a GTR pump, there cheap. Put in 19psi and you should get around 230rwkw. Im currently pushing 240rwkw at just over 19psi. Mid range go is very very nice. Pulls like a train.

Personally I'd stick the turbo on, check the A/F ratios and knock on the dyno. Then juggle the boost and ignition timing for the best compromise, don't run it close to the limit. Not perfect, but easily doable.:)

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
