T90-R Turbo Charger

This is a shot of the new billet forged compressor wheel for the new T90-R turbocharger.
The Billet machined compressor wheel is new in the turbo charging industry.
This + the high flow compressor housing allows for high speed spool up and high boost applications. Such as the low mount 800ps twin turbo set up for the RB26 we are workin on. with partners Holset.

And the Turbo Photo, which is sporting the Endless Name for the Osaka Auto Messe 2009,

WERE BACK!!!!!!

Well I am glad to say, after some internet issues with the local provider and my PC having s battle with some tea, we are finally back.....and boy have we got some interesting things coming this way.....firstly were pleased to announce we are working with turbo maker Holset on a performance range, both for twin and single setups.

Turbos will be appearing at the Osaka Auto Messe.
To the left is the T90-R Prototype with the Trust T88-38GK turbo in the centre and the special T100-R on the right. (there will be several other turbo models available, including a low mount high pressure ratio (4.0) setup with highflow compressor housing and 175,000rpm balancing due to the billet compressor wheel, as an example HKS GT2530 has a PR=2.5/RPM=144,000.
All the new range features a machined billet compressor wheels as apposed to the normal forged cast wheels that are found on other turbos. This with the compressor housing allows for some very high pressure ratios and large turbo maps.

As an Example,
HKS T62R has a max PR of 4.3, where as our new turbo will achieve a PR of 5.0. This allows our
HKS T62R can flow around 1300CFM (M3/s) T100-R will flow 1660(M3/s)

Very sexy photo ;)

HKS DRAG R32 GTR

On the 14th of March 1995 HKS racing division once again gave the keys over to their drag machine test driver 川崎哲哉さん　"Kawasaki Tetsuya San" who was to defend his crown in the RRC championship at Sendai (North Japan). The car had been increased in power from 600ps in 1994 to 800ps @ 8,500rpm and were now running a compression ratio of 9.0 with a 6 speed transmission plus a set of Garrett GT2540R turbos running 2.0kgm of boost.

8.655 was the outcome!

More photos coming tomorrow of the car :)

Today at the shop

Today at the shop, I watched Houdatchi install another Vcam system on a customers R32 GTR.
Engine is normal 2568cc RB26DETT, but we today added HKS Vcam, HKS Fcon V Pro, HKS and upped injector cc. Responce when the vcam is switched on, is compleatly different. Without vcam in 5th @ 4,000rpm the RB26DETT feels like it struggles alot. Flip the Vcam on, and very different, like add a few extra CCs of displacement that you didnt have before :)
最近Vカムがきてます！今日はR３２へのインストールです！ノーマルRB２６エンジンですが、さすがHKS Vカム、高いだけあります。まったく違ったエンジンに豹変させます・・・
4000回転くらいでのもたつきが飛んで行きまして、びゅうんびゅうん吹けます！！


おまけ　カーボン

back :)

Hello all, sorry for the delay in updates on the blog....we have been very very busy with some new parts design, a new Vcam GTR, committing to the Osaka auto messe in Feb and also I have been given slightly over 1000 very old photos form Sugino san. Here is the pile of ones I want to share with you, looks like I am in for a long week of editing..lol

ちょっと更新滞ってしまいました。
ＨＫＳ Ｖカムインストール、新しいパーツのデザイン、オートメッセのことやらで忙殺されておりました。
それと、エンドレスの（社長の？）ちょっぴり昔が分かる写真がわんさか出てきたので、チェックして、笑って、感心して、笑ってと・・・こっちに時間をとられていたのは秘密。

This is old photo showing Trust old twin drag manifold setup.

今では見られないツインターボのレイアウトですねー

Endless second tuning shop, Opened in 1993, and to celebrate we had one of HKS Original Zero-R cars in the shop, and Trust drag R32. (HKS and Trust....great competitors.....if one does something for us, the other demands we have their goods/demo car too...haha)

ＨＫＳのＺＥＲＯ－Ｒ、ＴＲＳＵＴのドラッグＲ３２との顔合わせ・・・


Our prototype design manifold, this was compleated back in 1992, Turbo is an IHI but back then tuning was still in its infancy, we didnt have the hugh choice of giant turbos / wastegates we have now, this kit was for around 700hp and only need 2 tiny wastegates!
More tomorrow:
マニの試作品です。1992当時はこんなことをしていました♪結構先進的だったのです！

Carbon Fibre Piston

Something I found very interesting while looking through one of our books, and this is even going back a few years.....ATS made a 200g carbon fibre piston for the Honda S2000, that requires no piston rings due to the expansion properties of carbon :) Just take a look at these pics....shame its just a prototype, but looks very very sexy!

Veilside Japan is sold

Most of you who read this, know of total tuning shop Veilside.
Well recently Veilside Japan was sold to a new owner and now we also have Veilside Nagoya.
Yokomaku san (Veilside`s original founder) has returned to USA to focus on Veilside`s new high end brand body parts.
ご存じ超大御所、ベールサイド！どうやら新しい経営者を迎え、名古屋にも高級志向の店舗を構えましたね！
Check out http://www.premier4509.com/

One of the main reasons this has come about, which is somewhat of a famous tax is how many Veilside body parts were copied.
Although this can be classed as "famous tax" its also something that hurts the Japanese tuning industry. With that in mind, Veilside knows Lambourghini / Ferrari owners will not put casio watch straps on a rolex, same goes for their cars and its a good way for Veilside to safe guard the future.
有名税というには余りにひどいコピー商品の山・・・
ベールサイド風。というキャッチコピーもすっかり定着しましたね・・・悲しいことですが、ベールサイドはうまい！
というのも超高級車、ランボルギーニや、フェラーリ用のボディキットを開発してしまったからです！！
超高級車のオーナーさんはフェイクなんてつけないですもの！・・ね？

HKS Supra 6 speed sequential

HKS have launched a 6 speed sequential transmisison for the 1JZ and 2JZ flagship cars. Its something thats needed in Japan, (although the normal 6 speed transmission has prove very very strong in drag racing) it isnt as fast to use as an up/down sequential.
Most interesting for us is to see how well the Supra will do with this transmission on the circuit.....Endless Norway...Over to you :)

HKSが新たにスープラ用にシーケンシャルミッションを開発しました！チューニングが下火といわれる昨今ですが、意欲的ですねー♪もとより丈夫なほうのノーマルミッションですが、やっぱりシーケンシャルのシフトスピードにはかないませんね・･･･
今までGTR用を加工してつけていたスープラ乗りの皆様、チャンスですよ！！

Photo of our polish man Gotou san`s work!

Early this week when I first heard about the project, I couldnt believe my ears...
ここを書くと申請ドSの社長からいろいろ痛めつけられそうなので・・・割愛。

Rick: "Shacho, R32 dou suru?" (Boss, Whats going to happen with the R32?)
Sugino san: (smiling) "boost up" (laughs)
Rick: Hontoni? (really?)
Sugino san: "hai....tabun omoshiroi" (yes, maybe fun)
Rick: "doshite?" (why?)
Sugino san: "base data"
Rick: "soka....." (how do you translate soka in to english?...anyone?)

Anyway was boring for me to first hear about this project, but I must say, as the days have gone on, I am getting alot more interested.



でもほんとに、面白そうなプロジェクトですよ！！
