Hmm, the rods/pistons/gasket seal.. wonder if that would build up an engine enough for (reliable) FI? (400'ishwhp?) :P

Also, wouldn't head work need to be done other than just that to get the 7200 rpm redline increase?

 

Is that actually a fact, or just what they think? Because i believe will pwr mentioned that they were also doing extensive testing in the US to make it CARB legal. I could be wrong though. By the way, willpwr works for HKS also.

 

wy would hks only release something for the jdm Z and not usdm? Isnt the usdm market alot larger?

 

To me that piston rod setup is overpriced i rather stay with the internals that we have now. HKS is an awsome brand but they r little expensive and did you guys notice they dont have W/G i think it uses actuators

 

Maybe they didnt want to give out info to an individual, but they did tell me they will not be coming out with a kit.

 

Japanese tuning market is larger then the US, but the JDM marketing has been shrinking over the past few years.

 

Regardless of wether it's coming out in the US or not, i want to see what the full kit comes with and how much its gonna cost. Because at the end of the day, if the kit is in Japan, but i want it, i'll just get it shipped (Europe), because i couldn't give much of a toss about emissions standards.

 

As of now....the kit is only for Japanese 350Z's. Being right hand drive the kit needs major re-working to fit US-Spec vehicles. Yes they are looking into a LHD production for their TT kit but we would not see one for a very long time. It is being used in Japan....but for testing purposes only. HKS may release a few kits but for R&D purposes(then replace them with upgraded or totally different systems)...such as in the case with the ROTREX supercharger.

 

Actually I mentioned testing in general for US use...not for CARB.

Current plans for turbo kits are TBD, but at the same time its safe to say that we are not ignoring the market as well

 

Here is a pic of there ST kit on the Z33

 

that looks like the twin turboset up they have^look close i can see another blue filter over on the left side

 

What about the F-Con SI? JDM only too?

 

Actually, its the single turbo kit....the blue that you see on the other side are the vacuum hoses for the EVC boost controller

 

I heard that HKS is looking or working on setting up a U.S spec 350Z with the single kit as a test mule. True or false?

Any plans for release... like maybe sema 2006?

 

any more info on the hks kit? I have a right hand drive Z and im really intrested in some verified numbers on the TT

 

oh yh and i live in the U.K by the way

 

I have a page covering this kit on the 350z wiki..

 

Can you send me a link please? it would be greatly appreciated

 

me too
