Yes, I know that GT-RS work very well, but I already have the high-mount manifolds and supporting hardware so I'm sticking with it for the time being. Phil

I would go the GT40 single route without question if I was starting afresh, but there's the expense of turbo, manifold, downpipe, inlet, oil and water lines etc. to consider; whereas I just need some new cores and maybe exhaust housings to get going with what I have. It seems that the 0.61 exhaust housings might have been too small in any case (RB26 kit usually comes with 0.87 A/R) - only just over 500 at the hubs at 1.6 bar on a Tomei 2.8 bottom end and A'pexi V-Max 270/11.4 cams ... Phil

Great information - thanks very much. The cartridge number on mine (48 trim compressor) is 700177-0001. I'm going to go for the 52 trim compressor assuming I can get the larger 0.75 or 0.87 A/R exhaust housing somewhere in the UK. Phil

Thanks - I can probably source some more HKS GT2835s, but was wondering if there were any newer generic Garretts or similar available that came recommended. If I was going single, T04Z, GT4077R etc. would be high on the list. Phil

I'm currently running a Tomei RB28 with A'pexi V-Max 270/11.4 cams and top-mount twin externally-gated HKS GT2835s with 0.61 A/R exhaust housings. One of the turbos has killed its bearing cartridge and I'm interested to know what the current options are as to bolt-on replacements, before I spend more on going for a single ... I'd like to keep the reasonable response of my current small-A/R 2835s but with more power (looking for ~750 bhp at the flywheel) - any suggestions? Thanks, Phil

I'm about to fit a Momo steering wheel using an HKB boss, but the boss kit doesn't have a fitting to secure the horn push to the wheel, and the fitting ring which came with the wheel does not fit into the boss. How should the horn push be secured? Am I missing something? Thanks, Phil

Jay, You've seen my car when it had low-mounted 48 trim GT2835s (still have the manifolds) and was 2.6l - once it was mapped it wasn't bad on the road. T618Zs must be the easiest route, and you haven't had the problems with your 517s everyone was talking about, or you could sell your bottom end and go RB30 like a few others are doing... Phil

I'm in the UK, but will ship anywhere. Contact by reply, PM or email through my profile. Phil

For sale - HKS F-CON V Pro ECU, Version 2.1 Silver box. No loom, but they are cheap to buy from HKS. Currently has an RB26 map in it, but the boxes are generic. Offers around $350. Phil

F-CON looms are cheap; I'm not sure if your existing loom would fit. I'm running F-CON V Pro together with the stock ECU at the moment. You would need the correct HKS software to tune it. Phil

It currently has an RB26 map in it, but can be used for anything (only the base maps they are intially supplied with are car-specific). Those who have asked, it's Version 2.1. As for a price - I've no idea - make me an offer... Phil

For sale - HKS F-CON V Pro ECU, silver, 16 bit. Offers? Phil

Dave, Thanks - I'm currently looking into a couple of UK sources, but I'll get back to you shortly. Phil

Anyone have a gold-coloured HKS F-CON V Pro ECU surplus to requirements? I only need the ECU itself, not the loom. Thanks, Phil
