I've been reading different threads about SC/TT kits some of ya'll are using, mostly Greddy TT/Stillen SC, but no one has mentioned HKS's Rotrex SC kit which I'm pretty intrested in. This seems like a nice setup, while it only makes about 80 additional HP, I'm looking to install myself so any feedback would be helpful, Thank's.

 

If I heard it correctly, HKS stopped making SC for Z a few months ago back... They are coming out with TT kit though... If you really want it I'm sure one of the sponsors might still have one in stock...

 

talk to PumpedVA and Z Boy they both have the kit.

From what PumpedVA was saying the HP falls off after 5000 RPMs though.

 

No, that is not correct. My buddy at HKS is currently working on the CARB cert for the s/c kit as we speak. They still make the kit. As far as I know, they are not producing a turbo kit.

 

The HKS Rotrex is a great kit for anyone who wants a simple, install and forget about it 80hp+ gain. Here is a link with a small writeup on some HKS Superhcarger kits we've installed:

The kits are currently on back order, and will be available again soon.

Hope this helps,

 

I thought HKS are launching two turbo kits for the Z. They've got a prototype that they showed at the Tokyo Auto Salon this year. Plus WillPwr from HKS said that they are. They don't know much about it yet, or when its coming, but apparently it is coming.

 

There are two kits in the works, but the release date is several months away.

 

In all probability, you will not be able to get an HKS rotrex kit anymore... I cant say why or how i know, but things dont look good for those wanting the HKS badged kit..

 

Correct...

Nothing is set in stone...and there needs to be testing of the units for US spec cars.

 

Damn and it has'nt really been out that long, as far as turbocharging, yes I prefer it but I do my own work so I'd like something more installer friendly, thanks for all replies.

 

today i got to hear a vortech kit on a 350z that used to have cherryblosums all over the car, forgot the guys name but it was loud but not as loud as i thought it would be you may want to look into a vortech? As for the HKS kit that kit looks so nice and you cant really hear the thing at all untill you get on it but it is a little$$$ for the power that you get with it.I hear that you can get bigger pullys for it but not positive.

Will Pwr,

thanks

I should have some dynos this week

 

The HKS SC kit is backordered at the moment. They should be back in stock shortly, but I do not have an exact eta at the moment, sorry

 

The HKS is the way I'm going. I plan on upgrading the fuel system, adding a UTEC, gauges, and then add the SC as a tuner kit. I like the fact that it doesn't use the engine oil and doesn't make as much noise as the others. With an auto and stock engine ~60-80hp sounds about right to me.

 

who is your "buddy" from HKS and where is he getting his bogus info from?

I'm sure glad Will Pwr is on here to set the record straight now and then.

 

Well, I guess you don't know what your are talking about either. No HKS turbo? come on.. It's an old news.

 

OR, he hasn't been back the the forum yet...

 

I guess I'm just out of the know on the turbo kit. I was only concentrating on the s/c kit since that is the only thing currently available.

 

get with pumpedva, he's a nice guy and very knowledgable. he has this, and seems pleased, after working out some bugs
