im surprised that the jwt TT kit hasnt been mentioned. is the aps just that much better?

 

JWT Hasn't been mentioned yet because as far as we're all concerned it's just vapor ware until they come out with something... They've had their kit in carb legal certification stage for almost 2 years now it's a wonder if they'll ever release theirs.

 

Nice...What's the price on one of these? Hopefully fitment would not be a problem on US caws.

 

Guys, I wouldn't get too excited just yet. Left-hand drive fitment has not been confirmed yet, so don't get your hopes up.

 

Also if they are going for carb certification they wil be waiting as long as JWT if they get it. They get your hopes up tring to drum up buisness. This is not to say that HKS doesn't make quality products.

 

Well if it passes carb in japan, and they have stricter emission laws than the US, why wouldn't it pass here?

 

I saw the Top Secret Supra and Cusco Evo parked close to my house....Gotta love Bozz Performance!

 

internal wastegates...come on.

 

Everyone keeps referring to it as HKS' turbo kit.... It was just posted by a guy who's name is "Top Secret" and the pics all say "Top Secret" on them.

Obviously this is a Top Secret turbo kit that uses a pair of HKS turbos. No one said anything about this kit being made by HKS.

Top Secret seems to do awesome work too, but just trying to clear something up here. Greddy uses Mitsu turbos, and no one calls it a Mitsubishi turbo kit...

 

People,

Save your money for a down payment on the new GT-R

as if there is something wrong with an internal wastegate......

One of my own cars makes 594 whp on......eeek.....an internal wastegate. Why on earth would I change? I can run my turbo (t66) down as far as 6 psi - so what would an external wastegate do for me?

It is not an HKS kit guys..it is a TS kit that uses an HKS Turbo

 

How will it help drive prices down if it's more expensive than everything else out there?

 

What's wrong with internal wastegates? Unless you're eventually going for REALLY big power levels...I fail to see the issue with an internal gate.

 

internal or external wastegates have nothing to do with the power level you are trying to achieve

 

who cares about LHD conversions?

TS stuff is top quality!

The Sumo Z has actually got a TT setup using a HKS turbines and Turbonetics piping, btw

 

With big power you need the most flow possible and an external wastegate allows the exhuast flow out of the turbine housing to be smoother which is more and more critical the higher the power level with more and more exhaust gas needing to get through. As I see it they do have something to do with how much power you're running.

 

we'll agree to disagree then

 

That's a good point, but yet to be determined. I imagine it will be more than GReddy, but I doubt it will be too much more than APS or JWT, if any.




Ok, Top Secret, spill it, what parts were used?

 

That's not our Supra, it's a USDM Supra owned by Bozz with our bodykit on it. Bozz is no longer affiliated with us. Last I heard, our real GT-300 Supra was sold to a collector in Norway of all places, weird eh? I loved that thing.

Anyhow, back to the kit...yes, it's engineered and produced by us, not HKS. I don't have much more info on it yet but I will be sure to post it here when it becomes available. I have no clue what the price will be but I remember Smokey say he wanted to build a "hi power" setup in comparison to what is available right now. I highly doubt we're going to seek carb approval so no worries regarding the wait on that. I'm more concerned with LHD fitment...but I'm hesitant to ask for anyone willing to work with us on test fitting at this point in time. I had almost 100 mails with people interested in test fitting the single turbo setup we offer and noone turned out to be serious. I'm not about to go through that again. Once again, I'll keep you guys posted on any other details I recieve from HQ.

So, what if a car just showed up at your shop with a note inside that said "use me for testing"? Would you consider it then? At least you would know they were serious!
