Like to know if anyone is running and/or see real world Dyno results for the HKS GT III - SS Sports Turbo on the RB26.

If your running these I'd also like to know your set-up and what you think.

Thanks in advnce

Engineering/Compliance certificate is an issue. Don't fancy a trip to Sydney (EPA) and the bother of trying to meet the standards is a real PITA.

Fine if you never get pulled over but if you do the choices are it's engineered or returned to stockish.

Selling would be a nightmare also because if it goes interstate it cant be registered without issues. And my final thought would be if I'm not a dyno queen or after serious power for straight line or track racing it would be a real shame to go single on such a great condition GTR.

Stock / stock looking GTR's pull the good dollars. Although your right I was going Single but not any more :)

They're journal bearing. Waste of time. 

if you could believe the HKS propaganda    And look at those graphs, run some SS's/-9's at the same boost.

How much are these overpriced nuggets?

Mega thread bump I know, but a tuning shop in Kentucky managed these results with VCAM step 1 and the GTIII-SS turbos: https://www.facebook.com/Dynosty/videos/528591662283860/

I'm not really interested in the numbers themselves which seem a little overstated IMO but this seems to vaguely corroborate UP Garage's results seen here where peak torque happens at 5500 rpm: https://www.facebook.com/upgarage/photos/a.2754286177933791/2756172981078444

I'm still not sure if 0.54 a/r on the exhaust is the right thing for midrange power but shape of the curve especially with E85 seems pretty decent for a bolt-on turbo.

With Vcam peak power is at 6k, so that will be a change of driving/shifting habits.

Full boost at 4500 and peak power at 6000.   That's horrible, and it's not VCams fault.

It's on e85, maybe max out injector or fuel pump

We should just start a thread with a list of officially shit turbos, and these can be the first entry.

Just imagine if there was no vcam and was on 98 fuel.

full boost at 5k rpm+

I'm confused as to why Joshua posted these results - to justify his purchase of these shit turbos, with shit results ?

 

They're pretty mediocre but I figured someone would be interested if they ever dug this thread up. Personally all I'm hoping for is to get results on par with -7s, any more than that I'd consider a win. Every time I look at the twin turbo piping it's pretty cringeworthy how many twists and turns and right angle merges occur.

    • 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/
