I am about to order a HKS 3037s turbo to hang off the side of my 33. Have been looking at the HKS setup kit to go with it. The only thing confusing me is the wasegate comming with the kit, being 0.8-1.1, 1.1-1.4, 1.4-1.7 or 1.7-2.0bar. I always thought they came with a set pressure rating, are these ones adjustable in some way or am i missing something.

:confused: It should have a couple of different srpings that you can put in it. Eg: 7 psi spring, 10psi spring and 15psi spring.

By the looks of that you can choose what rating you wish.

What boost pressure are you going to run ? - 1.1 - 1.4 bar spring would be good for your application or turbo size. that ranges from 16 - 20 psi.

A member on these forums, username: Steve, he is running the same turbo setup and a HKS wastegate if you want more information on them ask him.

:cheers:

From the HKS usa web site

"The GT Wastegate also features the ability to adjust its base boost level by changing the tension on the wastegate spring"

the wastegate that comes with the setup kit is not one of these GT ones but seems to have the same variable base boost settings. They have the info on the japanese site but i am no good at reading japanese.

Can anyone else give me more info on these.

The spring(s) determines the boost range which the wastegate operates in, fine tuning is done with the small bolt in the lid of the wastegate. It's easy enough to change the range by putting in a different spring or combination of springs, since they use an inner and outer spring in the assembly.

If you want a higher range of boost you're better off getting a softer, low boost spring to begin with and using an EBC to raise it above that threshold. I know a fair few people would prefer to run the proper spring to begin with, since boost pressure are less likely to fluctuate wildly if you run it with the proper springs for the boost pressure you want.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
