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.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
