Dragun Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Hey guys just thought id share this with you. http://www.hksusa.com/info/?id=3426 Its still a new product so theres not a lot of info on it however i had a word with Julian from Garage D in watford (Guy is like 3rd best drifter in the uk and knows everything about Jap cars) and he goes that this is the kit to have.... also the turbos sit nicely in the engine unlike other conversions which sit low and could be damaged on speed bumps etc. I emailed HKS for some more info, figues etc and hoopefully ill hear back from them with some more info Quote
ZMANALEX Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Yip, Got to agree. The HKS Turbos are the way to go. I have been running the HKS 2530 turbos for around 6 months now with no complaints. Quote

Dale350z Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 What intercooler would you use with this kit, Im considering buying it but want a hks intercooler aswell Quote
ZMANALEX Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 What intercooler would you use with this kit, Im considering buying it but want a hks intercooler aswell You will require much more than a suitable intercooler if you run with this kit. Quote
Stew Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 Thought that might be the case. What does the kit consist of Alex? Can you give some indicative costs (very rough) for anyone interested? Quote
Dale350z Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 What intercoolers would be suitable then alex? Makes and prices if possible please mate Quote
ZMANALEX Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 Guys, this is much more complicated than it first appears. HKS are only providing the parts that are listed in the link in the initial post and this will only provide a BASIC FOUNDATION OF PARTS FOR YOUR OWN BESPOKE SET UP. There are many more parts required to complete this set up and that will depend on what power / torque you wish to run. Anything above 400 hp will require an internal forged rebuild. You will require to run VPro, VPro loom, upgrade the fuel pump and fuel pipe return and fuel rail set up, injectors, fuel bypass regulator, induction pipes will have to manufactured, air filters, oil cooler, radiator, intercooler, boost controller, extra gauges, wide band commander air fuel ratio monitor, suitable exhaust system, dump valve, uprated clutch.....the list goes on and on....The above is just off the top of my head and in no specific order.....Then brakes and suspension will required sorted.....Mapping £500 +.... You are asking for guideline prices, well here you go, remember I have personally done this so the numbers are for real. If you want to run sub 400 hp then you will get no change from 10K. If you want to run around a safe 600 hp and 600 lbs ft like me, then you will require 20K+ and that will not be the end to your spending. Hope this helps, but it really is a mine field with loadsa hidden costs/extras and the decision to go fi should not be taken lightly. Cheers, Alex. Quote
Stew Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 Thanks for that Alex. Very informative for those that expressed an interest in the kit! Forgot to say, you coming to the jockland hoon? Would be good if you could make it! Quote
