*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!

    • 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"
