I have been toying with the idea of going FI. I have been looking at two kits.

1. Turbonetics
2. HKS New GT Super charger.

I want to be at about 380 RWHP. I am just looking for that thrown back in the seat feeling.
I would like just stick with the stock ECU. I know form reading Turbonetics is a re-flash. I was wonder if they adjust the Optimized the DBW?

Now you have to understand I am a min of 7 hours for any shop that has a clue. So I am looking for something reliable. I did a search for Turbonetics. It seems there is one person with the same setup I am looking at with over 50,000 miles on it. Quite impressive.
Now since the new HKS GT Super charger is out there is not much info on it. I did read a good article in Import tuner about it. They offer a pro kit.

Well to sum up things I am looking for input on which route to go.

Thanks,

You've been looking at the HKS blower? Please tell me where, I'll go and look at it too.

 

stillen sc sounds like what you are looking for

 

if you want to waste your money..

 

I am not going to change my hood for that.

I know that Performance Factory is a Pro Dealer. Thats who I am looking at for Both.

IMHO go with turbonetics since your power goal is less than 400whp, but trust me someday you will be boost happy and want more power if that's the case go with Twins.

 

Yeaa I know, but when that days comes I hope to have the GTR. From my reading there are lots of turbonetics out there. Some making 450+ RWHP.

I didn't think the updated blower by HKS was available for purchase yet...

Have you considered the JWT kits?? I just went FI with the JWT TT kit. $9K + install. I am very happy with the power increase, and with this kit the stock ECU is used. The Split Second box is used for engine management and is not user adjustable. I am running 6-7 psi boost. This will give long engine life AND wuppass power!!!

 

Yea I have thought of going TT. Just the cost. I got one quote out the door for 10K. Ouch. then I got a quote for Turbonetics out the door. Lets just say It was REAL good.

 

Give Jeremy@ Performance Factory a call. He will take care of you.

 

Thats who am planing to go to.

 

if 380 is all you want... im going to suggest vortech

 

I have thought of that, but here lately there seems to have been allot of Vortechs with bearing and impeller issues.
Don't get me wrong. I really like it. The simplicity of it makes it ideal. I know nothing is 100%. Even the Turbonetics has it's bugs.
The one thing I really like about the HKS GT Super charger, is the fact that you do not have to do the tap for the oil return.
There are just so many Pro's an Con's out there. I have seen where Turbonetics offers a water cooled setup.

 

If that's a requirement you definitely want a turbocharger, not a blower..

 

Vortech with nitrous would work too.

 

my Vortech will push you back in your seat

 

cdoxp800, I'm not far from you and I go over to Pensacola every now and then, if you want a ride in a Vortech car just let me know.
