Well my twins are smoking and look terminal, I can get a HKS GT spec turbo and think the 3540 fits my needs but the kits are a bit to expensive . Has anyone here just picked up the turbo and manifold and made the rest of the kit themself ? I know I will need a custom fuel rail and a fuel presure regulator a downpipe , but other then the hard pipes I need to make to fit a FMIC what else will I need ? And am I missing something does HKS make a kit for the GT3540 ?

 

Do you already have some form of engine managament ie. PFC?

You will need that.

 

yup, pfc, full non seq set up, with a street ported core, less then 8k on the motor

 

I dont believe they make a kit, does HKS even make a Gt 35/40? I didnt see it on their site. You will also need a wastegate and Blow off valve,and new fuel pump, and all the oil lines.

 

yup, I just saw the gt 3040

 

HKS does use 35/40's but I don't think they market them in the states, everytime I've seen the two names together it was always "experimental"

A-spec sells more 35/40's than anyone stateside and they also have a completely new manifold design from the other one everyone seems to be copying, it's a much better design than the old one.

 

I need to call them and see if they will sell me the turbo and manifold only

 

Well if you have a PFC all you need is a manifold and wastegate and turbo plus a new downpipe and a turbo outlet pipe and you are all set.

plus fuel pump, larger injectors, ignition amp, plugs, wires, intercooler, clutch, boost controller, bov....etc. i think going single turbo is def worth it but you need to make sure you can get everything you need. otherwise your car will be sitting for awhile, because you are waiting for parts to show up...lol i hated waiting for parts!

 

I hate waiting for parts also, espcially when you order straight from Japan.........

so order from the states.
