HKS GT Supercharger v2 - as of August 23, 2015


Exhaust clip (just in-case anyone was considering a similar setup). No CEL nor torque dip.

The idea of this build is to enhance what's already there however, parts must be purposeful and somewhat proven at the track.


Brake fade was handled by installing DBA rotors, SS brake lines, and high temp brake fluid. FYSA, the stock pads will melt a bit at the track (had to get some life out them before I installed the Hawk pads). Credit goes to FT86SpeedFactory.com for a legit brake setup.


Lateral G's increased by HKS Hipermax SPs. These coilovers out perform their looks.


Well everything wasn't exactly for performance unless looks count?


The oil cooler kept things relatively cool. After four 20min of wide open throttle there was nothing to worry about.


Fender liner modification for oil cooler.


Bumper modification to let air get to the cooler. I need to make a bigger hole. . .


Checked temperature using HKS Carscope.


Installed this after rounding off the stock bolt.


Up next, the GT Supercharger

To be continued . . .

After about 14 hours of labor, I was able to complete the install of the GT Supercharger. Keep in mind that I am by no means a grease monkey. So someone with experience can probably get this done in half the time.

Here's a picture of the engine bay


Radiator cut out. I didn't cut enough of the radiator support. Put a piece of rubber pipe to keep off metal on metal contact.


Larger engine bay view


Picture of MAP sensor. I'm currently waiting on a good sensor so I drive the car. I think I received a dud.


Brake vacuum hose modification


Oil dip stick bracket


Oil dip stick relocation


This canister purge solenoid was kicking my behind. Below is a picture of it located under the intake manifold in the back of the engine. Its the hex bolt peeking out.


The charger from the left

Right side of engine bay


Here is a picture of the inlet pipe bracket. This is a well engineered kit.


Traction fluid tank for the charger and airbox modification.


The engine bay incomplete


I plan to do another exhaust clip with the supercharger installed. As of now I have to wait for a MAP sensor to come in. Hence I left the cover off.

I want to reiterate that this is a well engineered kit. It bolted up as if it was a factory part besides of the modifications to prep for the installation (that's another story). I am impressed with the fit and finish of the kit. It is superb! If only I could get a good drive . . . to be continued

Here is a short clip of the HKS GT Supercharger v2. The car runs great and the power is incredible. Delicious Tuning delivered a spectacular tune.

Driving about testing RaceRom. Warning low quality video.

Beat-Sonic provided the tablet mount. I'm using the Samsung Galaxy TAB 4 which was too small but a cover gave it more height to fit.

Nice build. Any recent videos?

I plan on getting the V3 sometime in the future. Not sure if I should go with the HKS included Flash Editor or with Delicious Tuning(e-tune).

Thanks. HKS changed the supercharger bracket which on the v2 was very tedious to install. Maybe it will be a breeze for the v3. The tune would be a hard choice. But speaking from experience I have had zero issues with Delicious.

Yeah I'm hoping with the V3 there is less cutting/modification for it to fit.

Seeing the HKS owners thread with all the failures as well kinda turned me off but im still very interested in the kit now with the revised V3.

Looking forward to your build

Talk about HKS fanboy! :p

Just kidding. Nice build. I have that same brake kit, and it works great.

Yeah I'll admit, HKS has a soft spot for my money.

Oh, yeah the pads are insane compared to stock.

Got a chance to wash her today

I was impressed how well the Suede Mat fit. I think it adds to a retro feel.

This was my first track event with the Supercharger. The car held up through two days of abuse without a problem.

Road Atlanta is a high-speed track and the FT86SpeedFactory brake upgrade kit held up multiple laps without any noticeable fade.
