Recently put a HKS GT2540 in my GTS-t and am very happy with it - it is only really used as a street car. And yes while the peak power gains are not massive when considering what standard turbos can reach, you can play with higher boost figures consistently without worrying about the turbo giving up on you...

Power figures aren't mind-blowing but as a few people have already noted, it's not often you'll need 250+ rwkw's on the street...

I know of someone who is doing a Garrett setup (600hp turbo) which basically will be the same as my 2835 pro setup bar maybe a plenum and Microtech V PFC. We and sure everyone of you will be keen to see the results. I will keep you posted. By the way 2835 Pro is a T3 flange for whoever asked.

EVOIV,

I've been more than happy with the e-Manage. As long as you purchase all the harnessess as well, gives you good tuning scope. Though seeing as it's essentially still a piggy-back system, not quite as comprehensive as the A'pexi Power FC.

As I have the e-01 boost controller / monitor it can be tuned via the hand controller, though again, with the support CD and cable it can be hooked up to a laptop as well for greater ease of use.

All in all I think very good for the money... can't remember exactly how much I paid (bought all my parts in the one go), maybe round $700 with the harnesses (excluding e-01 unit)? Not too sure... can find out if you're keen.

well its not making the 230 yet as the turbo is still waiting to go on.

I have the usual full exhaust and intake mods, decent FMIC, extreme clutch, bosch 044 fuel pump, power FC computer. This got me 200rwkw. All i need for 230rwkw is a rising rate reg. and a retune of the FC. Although i may splash out on 550cc injectors just for peace of mind that no leaning out will occur.

Ezekrael you have a fair bit more potential in your setup!

Freebaggin,

I saw the Dyno chart on the computer @ the workshop, but their printer was stuffed on the day... so they're printing it and sending it to me in the next few days.

212 was the best repeatable result they could manage cuz the factory clutch was slipping more and more with each run... they got up to about 230-235 rwkw @ around 1.15 bar I believe. We'll know for sure when I work out what clutch to go for, any suggestions for someone aiming for 240 rwkw guys? Don't want anything too savage... Been told to go for Exedy so far...

Sly33,

Sounds like we've got very similar setups... I've got A'pexi GTspec FMIC, pod filter, bosch044 pump, Nismo 555cc injectors... hopefully with decent clutch, should be good for 1.2 bar and 240 rwkw? Who knows... :P

Just wondering if you guys 044 fuel pump is mounted internally or externally? I used to mount mine externally, and put rubber/foam between the fuel pump and the car body and it was still DAMN loud from inside the car! Gets kinda annoying after a while. A constant buzzing. Can you place this fuel pump inside the fuel tank? If so, can you still hear it?

Are the standard skyline turbos good for 230rwkw?

Having driven a 4wd car with around 500hp and also driven a rwd car with pretty good power I can safely say that for a street driven rwd car you don't want a peaky turbo ie one that spools up at 3500rpm and hits hard.

All you'll get is wheel spin in first and second if your not careful.

The 4wd is a totally different story. Traction is much less of an issue, so you can launch it at 4500rpm with a slight chirp and your off.

So for a street driven rwd car you want a nice wide usable power band that starts low and has good torque spread.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
