*shakes head at Cobey*....

On another note, sheldon, you should buy it ! Cant have me massively outlooking and out performing you ;)

Pssshh.. My car's going to sparkle brighter than Edward Cullen. You'll look like 2011 Sophie Monk next to me.

If i'm going to FI - it'll be the JWT Twin Turbo Kit.

nothing a 3588GTX and some NOS cant fix :P Once i can out drive the 450 ill upgrade but for now this kit is amazing quality and good for around 450HP :)

Plus if u buy off cobey u get my help once u put it together since i will have done the same :)

The 3588 turbo bolts on the housing of the 3037 turbo FYI so those who want to go upto 650HP you can ..

Just a quick question mate, I've got the HKS 3037 single kit as well with about 350whp on stock internals on 5psi. With a built engine are you saying that even running more boost you'll top out at about 450whp?

Yep, i will know for sure once i do it when my parts arrive but 450 is around the max that 3037 can flow, u could get the new GTX wheel and get a little more out of it but 3588GTX is your next step up for 650.

What is this GTX3588? never heard of it till this thread and the GT35 has a larger rear than GT30.

You may have issues fitting the GT35 under the passenger side as HKS have arranged it. If you want more go, I would just dump some e85 in the tank and retune. Should be good for over 500.

GTX3582 i mean !

it fits on the same housing as the 3037 i was told. So only a $1800 upgrade.

Upgrading to a 35R is a possibility, but then id want a bigger inter cooler, and the piping doesn't flow that great when creeping on decent power.

it is a fantastic piece of kit.

I may still do it if it doesn't sell, but i don't wanna make a 35R fit.

I've got my eye on other solutions.

Hey Aaron, I'm curious how long you've had the kit on yours on stock internals??

I've always wanted to go FI but i've always had doubts on doing it on stock internals because of reliability.

So is it reliable? Any problems?

I know keeping a low boost keeps it safe but how safe is safe?

I've had it on for more than 6 months now and so far not a hint of any problems. I track my car monthly and do give the poor girl quite a bit of stick but so far it's held up really well. I was hoping to get at least 500whp with a built engine though but looks like it might not be possible...

Thats good to hear its not giving you any trouble. I'm hoping to have mine sorted by early next year.

HKS seem to think 450hp with the built engine, I think the turbo is capable of that, plus a little more. I reckon if you went E85 and a good tune, you would see your power figure easy.

Pretty much what Scott said, looking back on it!pinch.gif

Ahhh.... E85.... if only I could buy it from a petrol station instead of 200L drums. I'm not a big fan of having a couple of those drums in the garage during summer...

Nice... I track my car about once a year. All NA at the moment so keeps going and going but makes me happy to hear your stock internals is solid enough for FI and track once a month. Lots of inspiration for me!

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
