Anyone else a little excited for the HKS Turbo kit? - Page 8 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I've seen every video on Youtube with this kit. I wish there were more, like POV drives with this kit.

Why? What are you wanting to see or hear?

I came across this clip of a BRZ Series.Yellow and the HKS Turbo Kit on the dyno. Additionally, they dyno'd other ZN6 platform with other comparable FI kits (superchargers & turbos). The HKS Turbo Kit made the highest numbers

Update on this kit vs other turbo kit? What it's used for? drag? track? deift?

With any luck.. my kit will be done this week. Waiting on a custom 3in overipe > 3in front pipe, 3in HKS single exit.

Hopefully with any luck we should be maxing out the turbo (450ps) on E85.
Going in a built engine, with 10.5CR, JUN manifold, Crawford BPB, Fluidampr, etc blah blah

Only thing I don't like about the kit is the cutting of the support beam. Anyone know of any aftermarket replacements that at turbo-friendly?

Oh I mean the bar where the intercooler piping is. I vaguely recall a 3rd party company making them years ago

Hey guys, I'm looking to get this kit installed this winter. My car is tracked frequently every summer (~10 events a season), so I'm not looking to push the limits of this kit or the drivetrain.

What's the lowest boost the standard wastegate setup can run? I don't plan to touch other parts of the drivetrain and leave the exhaust, fuel, boost controller, and possibly motor build until I'm comfortable with the car at this power level.

Right now, I just have the HKS Type-S oil cooler.

12psi was the lowest I was able to go.

Hey Raven, I just read through your build thread, awesome work!

Is not being able to maintain lower than 12 psi creep related, due to your frontpipe and catback? The HKS kit only replaces the header and overpipe correct? Theoretically the OEM front pipe with the OEM catback should be more restrictive and allow me to run lower boost?

Thanks man! 12 psi is the lowest you can adjust it to. Other owners on Instagram have confirmed that too.
The HKS kit only replaces the header. I was told that restrictive exhaust will introduce other deficiencies/problems, so you shouldn't keep the stock front pipe.

So we got 429.5hp on the dyno. This is on PUMP Gas 98RON. E85 tuning will be started next week.

From the FB post:
"So we started at 98Ron today.
Ecutek Racerom tune today achieved 429hp 474mm @19PSi boost.

E85 and more boost still to come"
