now that's the proper way to do a single turbo!!!!

 

Those pics make me think the install required a lot of cussing.

 

Good work Mike! So you went with the FCon, did BD4s tune it or did you tuner?

 

Thanks for all the kind words.

As soon as I get the graph will post as I forgot it at the shop. The graph is very linear and the A/F is at 11.5 from memory.

I will also get some additional pictures of the bay etc for you guys.

I did not coat the exhaust pipe but I did spray the wrap with the additional thermo spray in the idea to try and seal the wrap a little better.

Before I purchased the kit I asked if it required an oil pump and the response was that due to the location of where the turbo sits the pump is not required. If you compare with the APS ST it sits alot higher in the bay.

What is the kit capable of, no idea but in saying this in Hong Kong there is a Z with the following additional parts making 443whp at about ~10.0psi so at a guess I would say that the kit would be capable of around 500HP which is way out of my target.

HKS 9:1 Rod + Pistons
HKS Head Gaskets
Tomei 272 cams

BD4s did the tune

 

Looks nice. Some tight clearances.

 

Damn!!! Very Nice...congrats!!!

 

Here are some pics of the HKS oil cooler. Has note been fitted yet but when it is will take some more photos. You will notice that the HKS unit replaces the factory washer bottle with the blue pouch which has the integrated pump.

 

Nice setup, how much was that oil cooler compared to others on the market?

 

I paid about USD$800 landed. There may be cheaper better alternatives on the market but the reason I went with the HKS was that of the orientation of the sandwich plate and I will know it fits.

 

so anyone acutally installed this turbo kit in US spec car???

 

don't believe it will clear the steering rack on a US car

 

Sick man. That wastegate is huge. HKS really does make some quality stuff. Can't wait to see more pics.

 

Did anyone tried to customize it to fit??

I hope HKS release this kit for US market thou. Otherwise, they pretty much gave the single turbo market away.

 

Some pictures of the oil cooler fitted. You will notice that it is quite close to the defi temp sensor. Needed to modify the bracket a little to fit. The sandwich plate does have provision for the sensor but the length of the defi sensor is too long and hits inside the plate when threaded

 

Nice one. Any more pics would be great. I was looking at this kit and running it with 480cc injectors walbro 255 fuel pump and f-con pro.

More pics and dyno sheet pls.

Bit more on my plans for this summer.

HKS GT3037 Single Turbo Kit
HKS F-Con Pro
Walbro 255 fuel pump
Was looking at Sard 480cc injectors but ill see how you get on
Koyo Radiator with samco coolant hose
Greddy Oil Catch
HKS Oil cooler

Scary similar

Further from that in the Future forged rods and pistons.

The HKS kit seems best for me as its my daily driver.

Attached is the latest tune. Need to sort out the boost controller as it is a little bit all over the place. The average boost pressure is about 7psi and making 357HP and 368 lb/ft

The previous tune was about 4.5psi

 

Nice numbers and top notch kit... I really wish HKS would dump a little more into product development and send some units to the states for the LHD guys. Oh well... I can always wish

 

You guys are spoilt by the amout of decent tuners you have in the US and how darn reasonable the prices are comparded to dumb-*** rip off britannia
