It seems like HKS is done with the S/C kit. A few people are telling me that they are moving on to single and twin turbo set ups; which is good but after doing all my research i finally decided to go with that s/c kit and now they are tossing it. One other down side to this is we all no HKS $$$ no doubt they will have some real nice stuff but on the other side the price is going to break many pockets. Now i really dont know what to do i was planning on buying the kit in june but who knows now what will be out im looking for a little bump in power for my car maybe there single turbo set up will be what i was looking for?

 

This is probably a good thing in your case. There are much better SC kits on the market, namely the Vortech.

However, it really depends on your goals. What are they?

 

rest assured that there still will be a HKS SC kit......

A single and twin turbo kit are also in the works

 

The reason i would not go with the vortech is because the kit is just way to loud. This thing makes all types of noises. I waited until i had seen all the kits in person, to make my descion. I have gone back and forth with many kits including the vortech and the stillen as well as the aps,T-netics singles. In doing my search everyone were having problems with all of them but in the end the hks and the stillen seemed to be the most relible, not knocking any other kits but to me thats what it seem like. So now im not really sure whats going to happen my second and 3rd choice werre the stillen and turbonetics; crosing out the stillen untill i see the hood in person im having a hard time puting one of there ugly hood on. I tried to get used to the stillen hood in the pictures but just cant. Maybe it will look better in person?

 

In my opinion there really is no question there... but do what you'd like.

 

I don't know anyone having problems with any of the single turbo kits. where did you do your research?

 

chimmike im sure he went and just took a peak at the forums and saw everyones problems, the turbonetics with its boost spiking and flash not be able to compensate for exhausts, stuff like that, stillen ive never really seen something go wrong unless it was installer error

 

yeah, and my reflash compensated for my exhaust perfectly. Hell, under full boost, with my nismo exhaust and plenum spacer, I'm still in the high 10s afr wise, on 93 octane! (Headroom IS GREAT!) haha.

 

Awwww get the Vortech, i mean who doesnt want to sound like a jet fighter when pulling up to stop lights?

 

me, in my TN Z

 

If you want to supercharge.
Vortech is the way to go.

If there was a CARB TT set up? I would do that being that I live in CALI.
Still waiting to see how things go with the JWT.

 

how many people do you acually know whith the kit? Im not attacing you im just being for real. I live about 5 min from AAM and i see lots of 350z come in and out of there including my buddy jaun. and there are a few people who have boost issues. I have also talk to a few of the guys there and many recomend the Greddy twin turbo set up as will as the HKS. AMS and AAM both highly recomended the HKS over some of the other choice's. many said the vortech is good to but just makes alot of noise.

 

I got a chance to hear a few vortech set ups some very loud. and a few that may be tollarble. any chance you can post a vid or something. I dont understand why the vortech/ati chargers are so loud and the hks is so quite?

 

Turbonetics problem. Car takes long to crank on, or doesnt. CEL on... there are plenty of other threads and i know when you alter anything your going to have some problems , like over heating air condition not working and other things like that....im sure that there are lots of people that dont have any problems, but with my luck if i go with t-netics i will be the one posting that i have some problem with it. Although i have seen the kit in person many time and thought that it look good a few shops around her said that the crafsmanship is not the best also? Im not agreeing im just keeping my ears open to everything since im not the one that install them i figur they would know best. All i can do is keep reading and talking to people in person about there kits and whats good and bad about there kits. Im hoping this weekend at the AAM meet i will be able to see and feel alot of the kits and get some real feedback from people.

 

Not true on all counts. You can expect problems with any of the FI kits on the market today, it is inevitable. As far as problems with the TN kit, the VAST majority arose from issues with self installs. Due to the (comparable) ease of install on the kit, a large amount of people have chosen to do it in the garage on jack stands.

The reason you haven't read of many issues with the HKS kit is that A) It's HKS, and B) About 3 people own it.

 

yeah i know that to more people will go with anothor option then hks cause of the $$$ so more people buy one thing there be more problems reported. This sucks i think i have to do more research i wish you live around here so that i could ride in your car 412 with 431 tq i know feels good as $hit if i had that power i would prolly have nothing bad to say about them either... but in all honesty im just starting over my research with a clear head. i hope it comes out the T-netics kit cause its by far still one of the cheaper options to go seeing is how you can get them for 4300-5000

 

also any word on turbonetics for the rev up motors? can i just get the kit and ecu flash or should i go with EU or something like that?

 

I believe they're still working on the revup reflash (I could be wrong). You might want to hold out a little longer to see where they go with the stage 1.5 kit. It's going to be a complete tunable kit with full fuel system. I'm guessing people will be pushing close to 440-450whp on the stock motor and with a solid tune on 1.5. Turbonetics is also planning a stage 2 upgrade which you can go with if you decide to build your motor, which should be good for 600+whp.

The kit is going to end up being the most flexible and complete FI kit on the market once they release the stage upgrades.

 

Mostly correct. For now it looks like the revup motor kit will not use a reflash..

 

well if that is the case i may have to hold out but i plan on buying the kit sometime near june i didnt want to really install it until the end of the summer that way i can pick up a beater to drive around for a month while i get all the kinks worked out for the car. MIAPLAYA i figur you would no before anyone else when do you think this kit will be out on the market and how much do you think it will run?
