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.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
