Dear friends

I need some advice regarding the HKS GT2530 turbo.

My current setup is as follows---

fuel system: Stock fuel pump

Stock injectors

Stock fuel pressure regulator

Splitfire coils

Platinum spark plugs regapped at 0.9mm

Induction: Stock afm

HKS airpod

600x300x100 FMIC

GFB bleed valve (at stock boost)

Drivetrain: Xtreme heavy duty clutch

exhaust system: HKS 3' dump pipe and front pipe

3' high flow cat

5Zigen 3' cat back with 5' muffler tip

Engine management: Stock ECU

I am currently on a tight budget. However, I previously bought a HKS 2530 kit with actuator and have it lying around in my room. I have been itching to bolt it on my car.

In about 3 months time when I will have the money, I am planning to install a Z32 afm, GTR fuel pump, Greddy Profec B spec 2 boost controller, Apexi Power FC.

The thing is......NOW, I want to install the turbo so i will not have it lying around and taking up space. i can then sell my stock turbo to make some cash. However, this turbo install will be done without the power FC ,Z32, boost control, fuel pump and fpr. I will then be running stock boost on the HKS turbo for 3 months till I can upgrade the rest.

Tell me what you think......will it work out.....Really need advice!

Cheers,

Your fren

Dan

Im pretty sure as soon as you bolt the turbo on, your air/fuel levels will be all wrong!

I did almost the same thing as you bolted my turbo on, then was too afraid to drive it, so it has sat in the shed ever since. Now i have all the parts on the car, and am waiting on getting it tuned!

I hope that helps!

Ive been there and done all the mods you want to do. Firstly its not going to run good with the stock computer even with a SAFC. Get a Power FC. Then turn up the boost. Stock fuel pump will handle about 16psi and then will struggle to supply more. i ran 18psi but with the stock fuel pump but it was running lean (12.7-1) in the midrange. Get a GTR pump, there cheap. Put in 19psi and you should get around 230rwkw. Im currently pushing 240rwkw at just over 19psi. Mid range go is very very nice. Pulls like a train.

Personally I'd stick the turbo on, check the A/F ratios and knock on the dyno. Then juggle the boost and ignition timing for the best compromise, don't run it close to the limit. Not perfect, but easily doable.:)

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
