Hey guys. I was down at my local Ralphs the other day and started reading Sport Compact Car June 2006 issue. In it they were showing coverage from the 2006 Tokyo Auto Salon and HKS has their TT kit coming. It said it will use their new GT series ball bearing turbos and new dual exhaust. They also have their new F-con IS which has a digital display that will show you info on your Nav screen... very similar to the Motec digital dash display. Can't wait for their TT kit to come out. Maybe Wil Pwr can contribute with pics, info, release date, price?...

 

Only downside its going to be expensive

 

Agreed but it probably will be a kick @$$ kit. Their Supra and Skyline kits were awesome. Could only imagine what this thing can do with a built VQ.

 

i wonder if they're going to do one for the sedan...

 

Just take it to a competent tuner and they will make it fit.

 

Want to see it!

 

there was a post about it on here or g35driver, and there are pics and a lot of info on there.


Mahdi

 

anyone have a picture of this thing?

 

bump

 

nice~~
as mentioned above, the previous kits for skylines are ****ing wicked, just hope that this one will be just as great^

 

i don't think that HKS TT kit will be much more better than the APS TT. I guess HKS will be using the same turbos as APS. In terms of quality, again they shoud be around the same level. In terms of price, Japans overprice their goods.

 

also HKS released their engine internals for VQ35DE (piston and rods)

 

Someone posted some pics of the HKS kit before I believe. I'll see if I can dig them up.

 

Here it is:

They released the good news, now where's the bad news(price)

 

- HKS VQ35DE Forged Engine Internals and Metal Head Gaskets -
HKS Forged Piston & Connecting Rod Kit and Metal Head Gasket Set are now available for the
Nissan VQ35DE engine. The combination of HKS Pistons, Connecting Rods and Metal Head
Gaskets strengthens the VQ35DE engine substantially and allows the engine to increases revs to
7,200RPM. The HKS Piston & Connecting Rod Kit are engineered for forced induction
applications and specifically designed for the factory crankshaft. The HKS VQ35DE Metal Head
Gaskets are targeted for forced induction and high-horsepower naturally aspirated applications.
The HKS VQ35DE Pistons and Connecting Rods are forged from special alloys for strength and
durability over their factory counterparts. The HKS Pistons lowers the compression ratio to 9.0,
and the HKS Connecting Rods utilize an I-beam structure. The VQ35DE factory connecting rods
have a tapered design which is a weak-point for high-horsepower applications. HKS Connecting
Rods address this weakness by maintaining thickness from end to end. To prevent the need to
perform balancing modifications to the factory crankshaft, HKS Pistons weigh the same as the
factory pistons, and HKS Connecting Rods have the same weight distribution as the factory
connecting rod.
The HKS VQ35DE Metal Head Gaskets are 0.7mm thick and feature a 4-layer stopper-type
structure. The stopper-type structure employs a stopper ring around each combustion chamber
that is molded into the head gasket for a precise and strengthened seal. The factory head gasket
is only made from 3 layers and has a bead-type structure. A bead-type head gasket only uses a
raised bead to seal the combustion chamber.

that headgasket kit is interesting

 

thats what she said

 

Just talked to HKS, they will not be coming out with the kit for the US market. This is only a prototype and is for Jspec models only.

 

any plans for building a us spec kit?
