HKS Sport Turbo

[brs86supra]

OK i just bought a HKS Sport Turbo 57 trim turbo and was just wondering how it compares to the upgrade 57 trim ct26. like does it flow more, is it more reliable, what internals are used, and what are the intake compressor sizes and exhaust sizes for it? I know it bolts up just like the ct but just want a little more info on the turbo itself. Thanks in advance

You are asking that after you bought it?

It is in there somewhere. I have also read some not so nice things about the turbo.

most if not all HKS turbos are actually make for them by Garrett iirc, Garrett doesnt make junk

yeah im asking about it after i already bought it, because i already have some info on it i was just wondering if anyone had any more info or input on it. or any experience from it.

 

[brs86supra]

so does anyone have anymore input on this turbo. like how does it compare to an uprade 57 trim ct26

I believe it's about the equivelent to the GReddy TD06 upgrade...

 

[brs86supra]

so with the hks sport turbo and supporting mods (lex afm, 550cc's, afrp, walbro, safc, upgrade intercooler and pipes) could i atleast make 400rwhp

Should be able to, Duane maxed out the TD06 at 500HP...

I have an HKS Sport Turbo on my MK3 but unfortunately blew the motor back in 2005 and just haven't had the motivation to finish the car. I didn't' have much of a chance to play with it on the dyno, but at 9psi with just K&N FIPK, HKS Downpipe and HKS Drager I got 240rwhp on a DynoDynamics which works out to roughly 270rwhp on a DynoJet.

Good luck, I'm confident it's a badass turbo...this is why I've decided to stick to it. Something about the simplicity of a bolt in turbo that just can't be beat...for me at least.

there was an old article where a guy had a hks sports turbo, and all support modds and made 450hp i believe.
somethin to that effect, but i'd be interestin to see the numbers when you get it hooked up and everything

 

[brs86supra]

yeah i cant wait to see what this thing will push, i just gotta get this rebuild underway first. so from the sounds of it i should put out some decent #s.

There is also this page with some specifics. It does make good bolt on power.
