could probably make the same kit for 200 quid over here and considering its allready at almost 140gbp and probably 200gbp to post over it aint exactly worth it

theres not really anything of great expense on that kit, a mean the turbo down pipe is a length of standard nissan exhaust pipe, 1.5",rubbish!!! which is connected to the manicat, why!!!!!!!! i also like how the person has stuck a hks sticker on lol

 

[frank]

yeh, its a topmount setup like this, but your right mike, what a puny downpipe eh and a cga cat fwn (twice as long, and a finer gauze than the cg)

i think you will find that this is a Genuine HKS turbo kit. not a bodge together job.

anyone with the hyper-rev catalogue will concour. the downpipe is indeed puney but thats what hks use. they do this so you dont have to get rid of the cat......

and they might be using a cga cat cos its off a facelift (01+) 1.0... so with only one cat at the manifold you would hardly want to remove it..

bearing in mind that the HKS kit as new (running at 5.5psi) on a 1300 will produce 140bhp without an intercooler on jap fuel. this, with an intercooler on british fuel will see around the same power increase....

the kit itself brand new from sumo (imported from HKS) is around £1500. so even if it goes for £500 and costs £200 to post. to have a genuine HKS turbo kitted K11 is priceless.


P.S.... is there anyone willing to bid on this for me?...lol

 

[jdmk11mike]

nah you must be confsued bud cos that kit on the auction looks like the girl guides made it

that kit would be going nowhere near ,and how can you say it is genuine hks??? you selling it???

 

[Alienfish360]

Antony is right, however, what this shows is that just because it's got a big name brand stamped on it and they manufacture it, doesn't mean it's ideal or the best.

 

[kristian]

If I wanted that..

Would anyone here have a means of winning the auction for me..?..

Id send them a few quid for organising it like..

 

[frank]

no, i,m just saying that all the cga cat,s that i,ve seen were a finer guage honeycombe/gauze and were twice as long, so a fatter downpipe and a cg cat would be far less restrictive

 

[Antony]

no im not selling it, but after owning one myself and studying the whole kit in detail over the past 4 years i know a genuine kit when i see one...

just cos its HKS doesnt mean its going to be 100% perfect. its a bolt on turbo kit, not an all out power monster. or they would have made a tubular manifold not a cast one.fwn



Frank: ah ok i see your point..

 

[mullet]

sorry to seem a bit thick here but is this as simple as just bolting on? or is there other moddifications that need to be made to make it worth while?
(im not acctually going for it im just wondering)

if you limit the boost to about 4psi, then yes its bolt-on

 

[mullet]

and how would one go about limiting boost ect? :S

 

[frank]

and how would one go about limiting boost ect? :S

wastegate actuator adjustments, i believe

 

[chipedwood]

wait! So you can turbo a Micra for £200 as someone said above you could buy those parts for that price?

 

[nexussteve]

what about uprated internals?

 

[mullet]

hmmmm this is intreging
would the ecu need to be alterd atall?

stani ran a stock ecu, but could,nt control his boost addiction lol, and blew a few engines :doh:

 

[Ian]

that downpipe is laughable.

 

[Antony]

it is, but it works... at the hks kits were running less than 5psi.

 

[martinb]
