Hks 2835 Intake 3" Or 4"?

I recently purchased Dan/Halle's old HKS 2835 Pro S and am getting it fitted by Sam at Dr Drift at the end of the month.

My concern is though; Sam told me, because the bellmouth of the turbo is 4", that a 4" intake will need to be fabricated to stop compressor surge occurring. Unfortunately this means, having to fit a 4" pod filter because I don't want to butcher the standard airbox and relocating the Z32 AFM to the cold pipe because it's only 3". Which then means having to relocate the bov so it doesn't count the recirculated air again (I think). All which means a lot more money to get the thing installed.

My question is: The HKS kit, brand new, comes with a solid 3" intake with a 4" to 3" reducer which can be directly bolted to airbox. I can't imagine HKS would release a kit that is prone to surging. Should I pay Sam to do all the extra work, or is it not necessary and can I save myself a lot of money just asking him to fabricate and fit a 3" intake.

Anyone running the same kit, what did you do?

Cheers

I ran a GT30 4" intake that fed back to a Z32 AFM size... 24psi/370rwk was no issue on fuel, 270rwkw on 17psi on PULP.

As long as there is a reasonable amount of 4" piping to a reducer to the AFM size, it'll be fine.

There was a thread about this recently actually, ended up 2-3 pages long with examples of a 3" to 4" pipe, lots of setups 300rwkw without a problem.

WTF? That is nonsense >_<

Sorry, you're right. It was something else that he tried to explain to me, but I didn't understand. Something about returning to idle after load could cause stalling.

Anyways, I called him back to question whether is was totally necessary. He convinced me I should do it anyway. Dr Drift comes highly praised from friend and here, I decided to trust his judgment. :D

Just FYI.... HKS provide the 4" to 3" reducer along with the 3" intake pipe with the kit.

I mentioned that, and asked why would they supply a suction pipe that could cause issues.

He replied with, HKS also sell shitty mushroom filters and the hectic ssqv :rofl:

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
