has anyone installed one of these and do I need to modify the dump pipe?? http://shopping.kinugawaturbo.com/kinugawaturbochargerbolton3antisurgenissanrb20detrb25det8cm10cm.aspx that's the link for that turbo. any help would be appreciated

I'd say yes (going from the pics). But read the thread Scott has posted as its very useful.

Until it's actually released and more pics on the site its hard to tell. I would say 95% chance it should work as a "bolt-on".

that don't really answer my question dude

Yes it does, dude.

If you roll back a few pages (between 260 and 270 IIRC?) you will find detailed discussion about those turbos. If you read the last 30 or 40 pages of that thread (OMG READ THAT MUCH?!?!?!?!) you will find all the known knowledge and theory this forum possess regarding that particular type of Kando turbo.

Otherwise I can spoon feed you: "heeeeeerrreee comes the aaeeeroopplaaannneee :) opennn wiiiiideee", YES it will bolt on without modification. If you have a split dump you would want to change to a bell mouth just in case the divider doesn't fit as good as stock. Bell mouth are always better regardless.

Please read and use the search function next time.

Flame on...

Now that I re-read it, it wont bolt-on 100% as you are selecting the 3" cover, stock intake wont stretch that much. You'll need to find the 2.4" option or do a custom 3" intake. Though if you're changing the turbo to a kando, no doubt your planning on upping the boost, running a z32 (which is 80mm diameter) so the stock intake will need to be changed anyway right?

    • 12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).
    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
