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.

    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
