HKS bolt on BB turbo.

I just saw these and thought I would share.

New turbo's to be released from HKS for both the CT9A (VII, VIII, IX) and CZ4A (X) Evos.

The rumor is they will be ball bearing.

This was posted by Ryan@JustJDM from the Australian EVOOZ forums.

and yes I have seen the results of those who have come to the table and failed,


HKS has made this entirely on their own with specialist turbo groups to produce the
GT II 7460R series

This turbo will Rock,

Twin scroll design

BB Centre

HKS actuator




POWER: 460 ps which is pretty much 463HP

TORQUE: This looks serious.
53.9kg torque at 4400rpm

that will skin a cat more than 10 ways with change.


The sheer response of this turbo is from hard from 3k onwards.

Evos are designed as a fast entry fast exit machine hence why it dominates the circuit so well.
CT9A version


CZ4A version


Sorry if this is a repost. These images belong to the respective sites that are water marked in the pics.

HKS is played out, they are just tryin to compete with FP who obviously were successful making a twin scroll design turbo with some serious power ie fp black.

Probably over priced just like everything HKS makes.

They are interesting to say the least. The fact that they're ball bearing is appealing and if they're competitively priced to the FP line up, they may very well be a viable option.

HKS has been around for a long time & i don't think they have to compete with FP (No Offense FP). You pay for what you get.

anyways different people have different ways of looking at things

sub for updates

this is a huge advance in the evo world,
for those who have bb turbos know how good response is on the larger units,


and to say something like HKS trying to cash in,
well um 2 different units mate and both made totally different.


all i say is hold back on the power stick mate ..your not pulling any aces nor holding any

FP make serious gear and that is not anything new.
But have you ever seen a bad HKS turbo?

i sell alot of their gear and your right it is expensive,
however it works and works well.

back on topic lads

Interesting....

You guys do realize that all of HKS ball bearing turbos use Garrett CHRAs with HKS custom turbine and compressor housings.

So the question becomes, how is this any different than the Garrett bolt-on turbos?

They will be pricey, but if they stuck some bigger wheels in there coupled with ball bearings, could be a good mix. Looks like this turbo isn't any more capable than the FPred/BBX though.

And probably twice as much.
