yeah i got the dyno.... ill put it up tomorrow... i got to find my scanner in the boxes in my garage haha i got a stock bottom end and there was alittle machine work done to the turbos.. mostly for flow.... as for cost i got the two turbos for 1100 a piece so 2200 for two ... machined and all the reason i went with the HKS was because my tuner claimed i could get better numbers and response with the HKS setup at around the same price... so i was like go for it i was worried at first if they were genuine HKS but when i was dynoing the HKS rep guy was there.. so at that point i know they were real... well ill post up the chart tomorrow until then

Well i just got my car off the dyno yesterday and i was really happy with my results. I hit 560 rwhp at 1.5 bar... Im really happy with the numbers and the power band it great... fast spool and pulls hard all the way to the top... I was alittle worried about how the turbos would preform because i put in the HKS GT-SS from a S13/S14 not the ones for the GTR My tuner suggested this because the S13/S14 HKS GT-SS are larger than the GTR GT-SS but wont lag as much as the GT-RS Well all i can say 560 at the wheels at 1.5 is what i was aiming for...

I been searching the forums and i havent found my anwer to a couple questions...so now im posting hoping someone can help me out.... Question 1: can you fit a Cartridge from a HKS GT-SS S13/S14 (with a compressor .60 A/R) into a GTR HKS GT-SS (with a compressor .42 A/R) housing? Question 2: If i buy just HKS GT-SS cartridge can i use the stock R33 GTR turbo housings? The reason why i ask is my car is in the shop and im working with a new tuner (because i moved) and im pulling out the stock turbos and upgrading them with HKS turbos. I was going to go for the HKS GT-RS but my tuner suggested that the lag would be alittle much and he recommended that i go with HKS GT-SS Turbos but use the S13/S14 version cartridges because the compressor side is alittle bigger and the turbine side is the same ... there fore the turbos would put out more power than the GTR GT-SS but not lag as much as the GTR GT-RS. Sounded good to me.....so i said ok lets go for it Now my problem is engine is out of the car.. head is off.. etc.... all work is just finished so its time to put the car back together... i saw the turbos and they looked stock...but new and no ceramic wheels... I looked on the internet and the pictures i see of the HKS GT-SS for the S13/S15 are stamped on the compressor side .60 AR......now the new turbos thats are going on my car have a .42 A/R stamp on the compressor side...just like stock Thus bringing me to question one ... can you fit a HKS cartridge with a .60 A/R in a housing that says .42 A/R Im also wondering if i have real genuine HKS turbos... because from what i seen HKS does not stamp or mark their GT-SS turbos with the HKS logos... the GT-RS has a metal tag but not the GT-SS.... Question 3: how can i tell if my HKS parts are genuine not just the regular garrett parts? Question 4: Can anyone tell me the cartridge numbers for the Genuine HKS GTR GT-SS and the Genuine HKS S13/S14 GT-SS Everyone thanks in advance.. im alittle worried about getting ripped of... this shop is well know and authorized buy HKS they seem honest and good people but you never know... I just want to make sure im getting what im paying for ...
