Hey Boys/Girls,

Question for you (if you got the time/knowledge 2 answer it)

I found myself a t04e turbo kit comes with hks manifold & wastegate

turbo spec is .5 a/r compressor, comp wheel ???& .63 exhaust housing, exhaust wheel is 56mm (so just under 2inch) The exhaust housing also has airearch imprinted on it.

How you reckon it will go on my r32 or even an r33

The manifold has a split pulse flange which i heard helps speed up spooling time hence decreasing a bit of lag...is this true?

Im also fitting 550cc injectors

& an os giken clutch.

The car currently is producing 162rkw withc FMIC & fuel pump from R33 GTR, HCR32 POWER FC & a few other things.

How do you think it will go?

P.S This turbo is a hks spec t04e turbo for the r32 gtst, so i cant see it goin to bad, i checked the spec off hks catalogue & the hks t04e kit i have & its identical.

Thanks Joe.

Yeah i have no doubts it will take me into the 200kw zone

the only problem im worried about is the spread of the power.

I mean its built for the road so i just dont want top end power which i think this setup will do hence killing all factor of mid end power.

But who am i kidding, can hks get their spec's wrong?

Worst thing about it when i spoke to a few people about the spec they said it was more like a t3/t04 hybrid, & have not seen another turbo with the same spec that ive got so i dont know what i expect to get.

Back in the early 90's hks never made there own turbos so they went to garrett & ask them to make a custom turbo for them, so thats why there are hks t04e's around.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
