Is anyone using a HKS GT series (ballbearing) turbo on a GSR?

 

anyone?

 

Look up the member HYPERTUNE and drop him an IM. He had a GT3037 on one of his cars. Be a little more specific! What info do you want?

If you go actuated get the GT2540 and for w/g the GT2835R is a good starting point for a street/strip car.

 

Most of the turbos we use are GT ball bearing turbos. (either HKS or straight from garrett)

I have used a HKS GT3037S 56T A/R .87 on an Integra Type-R
HKS GT2835 52T a/r .86 on a Civic VTi-R (SI)
HKS GT3037S 56T and GT 3040 on an S2000.

The 3037S works really well on the 1.8 engine and is rated at 480hp by HKS. It is an expensive turbo though. If you are after a good street setup, the 2835 is nice (get a 56 trim with .86 turbine housing) you can use the HKS cast iron manifold with the 2835 but you will have to space it out from the head and turbo with 12mm spacers.)

 

Thanks....

I am looking down the road, maybe during the summer to change my turbo (currently I'm running the DRAG kit).

I'm considering the HKS turbos, but want to make sure I get the right one. I am definately looking for a "street" turbo. My primary concern is speed of spool up, but with the high reving GSR I dont want the turbo to die out too soon. My HP goal is ~320 - ~350 to the wheels. Is the HKS 2835 (56trim, .86turbine) the best bet for my goals?

Do you know of any place that sells these turbos (and the manifolds) for a good price?

Thanks

 

What is the plan to attach a external wastegate? Or you are planning to use internal wastegate. The Manifold sold by HKS for B series motor is designed for internal only. The only way I looked at it is to have a modified pipe connect between the manifold and the turbo and in between weld a external flange somewhere.
