HKS GT3037 turbo kit
A customer of ours came in yesterday to do a maximum hp tune for his HKS GT3037-based turbo kit. The EVO was fully modified (cams, full exhaust, test pipe, 6 speed, differentials, intake, etc,.) At 30psi of boost, running c16, the turbo maxed itself out at 390whp on our Dyno Dynamics dyno. Stock EVOs put down 195-200whp. Peak power was made at a reasonably low ~6000rpm due to turbo flow limitations. According to the Dyno Dynamics shootout software, estimated flywheel hp is 488bhp. Although in aftermarket claim land, this is probably well over 550bhp Feel free to apply your own interpretations...
I'll post up dyno charts on Monday.
Cheers

When you see the dyno graphs, you'll see what I mean about the turbo being undersized for this power level. The hp curve looks more like a torque curve (flat up top).
I haven't double-checked, but I believe the standard HKS kit comes with a .87a/r as designated by HKS, using their own proprietary HKS housings. I'll check on Monday. Compared to Garret offerings, this turbo seems to spool up like a .63 but is power limited up top like a .58. Not a good turbo match, IMHO.
We run a somewhat trick set-up in our Stage 2 offering. Offers nearly identical performance up to 5000rpm as the HKS turbo. But by 7500rpm, there's is at least a 60+whp differential, offering a much more useable power band. Both make full boost (30psi) by 3900rpm on the road.

Those numbers are too low, on our customer road race evo 6 with the same turbo and all race parts an a motec m48 pro and blitz 1000cc, we made 608hp. That Turbo is the tuner's choice in Japan right now.

Vishnu, I took another look at my dyno sheet, and there is a link Ill attach at the bottom of this response, if someone wants to figure out how to post it so it comes up automatically Id appreciate it ..I cant figure it out...anyway...according to my dyno chart....and where u say yours peeks, your dyno seems a bit more liberal than the one I used, however since we used basically the same setup etc ( did u run a stand alone?) the cams should make the power at about the same rpm with the same setups....seems u cut the car off before it really started to make some power....at about 6000 rpm my car made about 370whp...yours made 390 thats awesome,( I was also running 93 octane and yours was 116 octane) if you would have let it breathe to 9500 rpm u would have probably seen 500+ hp...then again if the bottom end isnt built i can understand ....Im not doing a comparison mine is bettetr than yours etc..Im just pointing out something thats obvious to me and may confuse others who arent aware of the situation.... but to cut it off at 6000 rpm doesnt make any sense, even on a stock motor. Here is the chart thread
