my advice. don't worry about the coils or ign amplifier unless you need them. once the car is being tuned it will be obvious if you are having any ignition problems.

as for the balancer, ideally you would have had the whole assembley balanced together (completel with balancer and flywheel). if your current engine was built and balanced with the standard balancer then just use that. but I would say keep revs under 8,000. you should be able to make plenty of power even with an 8,000 limit and your engine will live a long time.

and yes, the HKS R33 drag car used standard coils. the veilside R32 GTR drag car also used standard coils. the reason people switch to splitfires is that their standard coils eventually fail when they get old, and replacing them with new nissan ones is 3 times the price of splitfires.

oh, and personally I wouldn't put the XS mani and especially the XS gate anywhere near an engine like that. use the mani if you have to, but buy a better gate. I've seen guys with cheap gates have all sorts of problems.

Hmmm I bought the gate and the manifold.. the manifold I will improve its stength with brackets.... the gate if it makes me any problem I will through at recycle bin :O

Do you know the problems of xs gates? I read many bad comments... and many good comments.... some people say that they doesn't work and some people that they work fine.... we will see :D

buying a mani and then having to strengthen and modify it duznt tell you something??? One workshop told me the very same mani destroying a new turbo. A piece of weld broke off from inside and got sucked up through the turbo.

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
