Sorry for the past ot Rev.

Back on to the real subject of this thread. $2k off the previous price of these kits is a great pricing point. I can attest to the quality of the HKS GT SC and my car is blast to drive.

In all honesty I would not want any more power that what I have now on my stock block. If I wanted more power I would be looking at a built block and turbo options, not SC setups.

Rev, I don't think you would be dissapointed with the kit. How's your car coming along?

Its still related to the supercharger though

Yeah, i hear everyone that gets it loves it, and i'm not looking for crazy numbers, so i definitely think i'll give it a try!!

Car is coming along good. Just a few more details to finish like, the amuse front diffuser and mastergrade rear diffuser. Then i'll make a custom carbon fiber flat undertray to join them. Big brake kit, and more power!

Anyone want to comment on the "Archived GT SC specs" page on HKSUSA.com. Will it be possible to upgrade blowers and pulleys from HKS?

Nice find, jonnylaw, thanks for posting this up. Looks like HKS will be selling their compressors in a similar fashion to Rotrex. Interesting.

Anyone know exactly where the additional injectors are located? I've looked through all the pics I can find and haven't noticed where they're at.
I'm considering getting this kit but might run 6 larger injectors and tune it with Osiris to simplify the setup.

It would be nice if one of the pro dealers could chime in, and maybe let us in on some info. ?!?!?

I've read the install instructions a few times and the two additional injectors are placed inside the upper plenum. The kit comes with a throttle body spacer that is fitted with 'nipples' that you hook-up fuel lines to and deliver fuel to these two injectors. So basically, the engine will entrain the additional fuel through the intake runners.

You can find the install instructions for free in the wiki section of the 350ztech forum or maybe here with a search. I think the instructions are for the original kit developed before this new GT version, but don't see it being very different.

This is just too sweet to resist. I ordered my kit today. I don't want crazy gains and I prefer to stay on stock internals so to me this kit sounds perfect. The dealer I ordered from is letting me pick it up so I can do the install myself.

You can run with the 2 additional injectors supply but you can also run with 6 extra injectors, GTM sell this as part of their upgrade stages...

Anyone know if you still need the FCON-s to run this or can you run the injectors and pump via uprev? Currently have uprev and am sure my tuner is more than capable of running it this way (HKS tuner also so he can play with the FCON) but just interested if anyone has gone this direction...

No reason that I can think of that prohibits you from swapping all injectors for larger ones and tuning solely with Uprev. That's my plan anyway.

Any settings on the fuel side of things things that the remapped ECU couldnt cope with that the fcon would be needed for...

Dont get me wrong, want to keep the fcon as I have a camp-2 so am hoping I can use the map functions and pick up on some more of the inputs and run the oil pressure / temp, AFR etc...

Sorry for the questions but the FI stuff is all new to me... Am going HKS as I know I want more power... but as I dont track that much and there isnt that many places in the UK to use the power due to Big Bro, HKS seems to be a good 1st step! Just want something reliable and have that bit of extra power when I need it! Although I have heard that when you start on the FI you always want more power!!

I'd much rather have that kinda flat trq than a peak at 4700 then losing all umph til redline

but thats solid power nonetheless, and a much better price from HKS. Too bad you have to buy/install from GTM to get anywhere near your #'s
love living 20min away from GTM
