Hey all, im looking at getting a hks gt-rs turbo for my car along with injectors, fuel rail, pump and already got a pwr fc and exhaust and cooler. Does anyone know much about the gt-rs, all i know is that its good for 400hp(im aiming for 360) or does anyone already have one and do they like it, just want some feedback on the turbo, like if it bolts straight on and what rpm im it spools at etc.

Thanx guys.

Just my car retuned today with a Z32 air flow meter and got 270rwkw. I think a GTRS would be hard to beat for response and power, it reached 15psi at 3400rpm and 17psi at 3800rpm and is set to 1.2bar. The HKS turbo kit does bolt straight on comes with wastgate and all lines.

Z32 definitely worth getting gives the tuner heap better resolution so both 1.2 and 0.9 bar are heaps better, 0.9 bar almost feels like the power I had at 1.2bar before without the Z32.

Other mods are full 3 inch exshaust, FMIC, PFC and boost kit, nismo 555cc injector, exhaust cam, lightened flywheel and ceramic clutch, spitfire coils and bosch 044 fuel pump.

Thats a sweet out come reedy, what else you got done to da motor?

I'm also keen to know what other mods have been done...

I'm contemplating upgrading my turbo in around 12 months time and just want to make sure I make all the other necessary mods in the mean time to ensure that I can get the best of my new turbo once I decide on which kit to get. I was originally thinking of going down the gcg hi-flow path (aiming for 240-250rwkw), but your results are pretty impressive and kinda justify spending the extra money on getting the GT-RS.

What I'd be interested to know is:

1. Do you need a catch can at this power level?

2. What fuel pumps are people using to get there? I have one of those Walbro 255 thingos but now I'm not sure if I should use it. Surely a surge tank is unnecessary?

3. Is everybody using a pfc? I am thinking piggy back but I have an advantage in that my ecu has previously been tuned (read chipped) so the mid range dip is gone as are the limiters such as speed cut.

The only other mods are suspension but in more detail i've got;

-Full 3 inch exhaust with high pressure coated dump, magnaflow twin tip.

-Front mount intercooler 600x300x70 tube and fin core

-Bosch 044 fuel pump

-Spitfire ignition coils

-Power FC and boost kit

-Adjustable exhaust cam gear

-Nismo 555cc injectors

-HKS GT-RS turbo kit

-Xtreme billet lightened flywheel

-UAS sports clutch kit

-Tein super street coilovers

-Whiteline front and rear swaybars

-JIC tension rods, front negative upper link, rear adjustable upper link

I think its worth spending the extra money on the gtrs rather than a high flow cost about $3000 with shipping and got $300 back for old turbo and you get new turbo external wastegate and oil lines.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
