Forged Performance: HKS GT800 Turbo Kit Install
Today we are installing an HKS GT800 Turbo Kit on a customer's R35 GT-R. This turbo upgrade with supporting mods will turn the GT-R into a 9 second street monster while still retaining AC, power steering, navigation and all the luxuries that are expected from an R35. We are expecting to see 700+whp once the kit is installed and tuning is completed
Unboxing and prepping for install....

The customer will be sticking with the stock internals for now.

why would you make this statement when other well established tuners have 800hp pkgs with stock motor that have proven to be very reliable. Switzer has over 100 of them with few/no issues!

Also, he may have been saying "Good Grief, (long pause) Sweet Engine!" I dunno

700whp on one dyno, 640whp on another. It's just a number.
Most of the time these kits arent on full tilt, they run low boost.
Oh i have seen bent rods are 550whp and im sure you would have too.
Not all engines are 2jz.

SPI are a little optimistic numbers for 700whp.i know 2 people here with p800 both make 640whp on a dyno here.

Just a little clarification on this project. We will not be tuning this car to maximum power. Given the capabilities of this turbo kit, that would indeed compromise the stock internals. We will be tuning this car on lower boost to an appropriate power level. We usually see around 600-630whp on pump gas (93oct) and about 670whp on E85 with the Switzer P800 kits or AMS Alpha 9 kits. We will be tuning this car to slightly higher numbers (approx 30whp on E85). I would hardly say this difference in power will be enough to write off the stock motor. In any case, this customer has plans to bring the car back at the end of the year for a motor build. I hope this helps clear things up.

that came straight from HKS , who did some serious testing
so anywhere in that area..its a crap shoot.

Like I said, interested in cited examples. vs. 2nd hand references. If Mr. Lucky has such knowledge I'd like to know about it as it will be quite an eye opening bit of information.

Sorry been busy, Dvh quite a few engines have blown at 550whp range. You should check nagtroc, most are kept hush hush but a few do pop up.
Sharif told himself P800 kits produce around 640whp which is a safer range.
HKS themselves say 700whp need rods replacing. So i do not think my references are second hand.

Yes but 550 hp isn't anywhere "in that area" and is quite an eye opening statement that warrants backing up.

I think this motor will be safe sine Forged is not going to crank the boost way up. As long as safety is kept in mind this motor should turn out fine.
