HKS GT2530 turbo question

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.:)

Does that mean I can bolt the turbo on without the power FC???

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
