I have a pair of hks gt ss turbos for sale... They are used but in awesome condition.... These turbos have done bugger all km's as there is next to no shaft play.... Side to side or in out! I need these gone ppl. $1700 ono comes with the hks actuators. Reason for sale is I'm gonna chase 800- 1000hp and these just won't cut it. They will make 600hp plus apparently. They are very responsive and they pull awesome through the whole gear. My loss your gain. Very clean turbos..... You will not be dissapointed

Hey mate.

These are great turbos indeed, but infact are actually only rated to ~560hp and real world results on the dyno thread have shown these to be at thier limits at around the 340awkw (450hp) mark, the response & midrange is great making these the perfect turbo for street use according to some but i think 600hp+ is abit off the mark.

Anyways thats my 2c GLWS mate.

Yeah but you suffer more of a loss being four wheel drive yeah? So if you make 350kw at all four its about the same as 400kw rear wheel which would work out about 540- 560hp right..... I have seen somewhere someone making 600hp with these turbos in a thread somewhere I'm sure of it!

Im certainly not an expert in 2wd to 4wd dyno results difference but everything ive read in Drivetrain & Transmission Section points to the direction of 20-30kws tops and not a percentage like most people have been lead to believe.

Although most results have been with 98Ron & e85 has changed things up abit...

And then there is this.....Today, we are going to take a look at the smallest turbocharger currently offered by HKS, the GT-SS.  Officially, HKS rates the GT-SS turbo for 280ps, which is roughly 276hp.  It is worth noting that HKS power ratings are indicative of wheel horsepower, rather than flywheel horsepower.  In practice, the hks gt-ss has been shown to develop as much as 320ps, or around 315hp.  HKS currently offers the GT-SS in various engine specific packages to make installation and bolt on affair.  All GT-SS kits come with all required gaskets, bolts and fittings.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
