- How
much power can I expect to gain from fitting a HKS exhaust system?
Typically for turbo car you
can expect anywhere between 7 to 25 p.s. and for non turbo cars the increment
is from 3 to 12 p.s.
- Will
fitting a HKS Hipermax Suspension Kit in my car cause me to sacrifice a
lot of comfort?
No. It does not have to be so. If tuned properly with
the correct springs, you can have excellent handling with correspondingly
good comfort, unlike most other systems in the market, where you have to
sacrifice one for the other.
- How
much power can I expect to gain when I install a super power flow lit?
For turbo cars, you can expect 5 to 20 p.s., and for
non turbo cars, itŐs anywhere between 3 to 10 p.s.
- What
is the difference between HKS Super AFR and other air flow correction devices
in the market?
Most of these devices are used to increase or decrease
fuel flow of the injectors where necessary, however the HKS Super AFR is
the first unit to use the microprocessor chip to process the input signal
for better accuracy and refinement.
- Will
the installation of a blow off valve increase power of the engine?
No. A blow off valve disallows the build up of backpressure
of a turbo compressor when you shut the accelerator. This has a tendency
to slow down the compressor causing more turbo lag when you next open the
throttle.
- I
have a Toyota Supra that does not have a factory installed oil cooler. Do
I need one?
Yes, you do. In Malaysia where the country is hot
and humid, when such a car is driven hard even occasionally, oil temperatures
can reach alarming levels that can cause reduced turbo bearing life as well
as engine life.
- If
fitting a larger turbo means getting more power, why doesnŐt the car factory
install the bigger one on the production line to start with?
Carmakers design their cars to be more users friendly, which is the case
when using a smaller turbo. Although you can get more power by fitting a
larger turbo, there is often a side effect of less instant response in stop,
start traffic in city driving caused by increase of turbo lag in a larger
turbo.
- My
mechanic says if I need more power, I should fit bigger injectors. Is that
true?
That is only true if you have found that even after
increasing fuel flow by electronics devices (i.e. Super AFR, F-cons and
etc) and or increased the fuel pressure as well as the fuel pump size of
the car, it is still found to be running lean.
- If
I am driving my Evolution 4 to and from work most time and occasionally
visit the racetrack on weekends, will I benefit from fitting 272-degree
high lift camshaft?
If the car is used for daily commute, I would recommend
256 degree or 264 degree, otherwise you may experience drivability problems
in the city, which could possibly lead to overheating and stalling at low
speeds.
- I
have a turbo 1993 RX7 Efini automatic and I find that the acceleration is
not as good as the manual version of that model. What can I do about it?
I would recommend the use of HKS Super Synthetic Automatic
Transmission Fluid, which reduces slippage in the transmission. Most times
it can recover anywhere between 5 to 40 p.s. at the wheel from slippage.
