HKS Sport Turbo, reviews?

[SevenMKIII]

I've only seen two of these other than mine on the net. Was given to me with the purchase of my Supra, they had no idea what it was until I got ahold of it :love: It's the 57 trim HKS Sport Turbo upgrade for the 7MGTE, just bolts onto the stock manifold and even has a tap for an egt gauge. Does ANYONE have anything to say about this because I can't find much information on it at all. Crappy picture and tinypic doesn't like midnite, I'll get more later..

sure looks like a z32 300zx T25 turbo. same comp housing, however, the wheel looks larger.

 

[SevenMKIII]

stamped HKS on the turbine housing and bolts up directly to the 7mgte manifold, and dp, and oil lines. That compressor housing is used on a BUNCH of turbos, many bigger and smaller. Positive its the HKS I just can't find any information on it at all??

I just bought the HKS SS 60-1 (IIRC) from a friend here on SM, and all I can say is that it is one sweet turbo!! Spool comes on @ 3K, and it pulls awesome! To put things in perspective, my 87T auto with stock CT-26 has put down 302whp, and 320ish torque, and runs 13.2, and on the street she is very manageable even with stock tires. My '89 5 spd. with the HKS fishtails in 2nd after a normal launch in first with MKIV tires. The car is frighteningly quick! This is @ 16psi. I'm sure she can put down 400+rwhp @ 20+ psi. I don't know about the 57 trim, but the 60 is one hell of a street turbo. Boost spools wicked fast, and the car pulls and pulls. And its a bolt-on! Enjoy it!

I'm not in any way downing it, just making a note out loud...lol

Is the comp housing smaller than the ct comp housing?

 

[SevenMKIII]

you don't plan on running a stock elbow on that thing do you? A full 3" elbow will allow that thing to pull all the way to redline as well as come one much harder.

There are a few in the for sale section if you need one...

/end shameless plug...

That Turbo has the Original 3" elbow, just like the one that Suprasport/Lipp made.

unfortunately I don't have the full kit this turbo came in, but I do have a 3" dp with elbow on it. It's not the nicest looking but it will get the job done until I have more money. The BOSS turbos at suprasport would be awesome for someone keeping the stock manifold. Thanks for the info! If I were to rebuild it, could I send it anywhere like Turbonetics?
