HKS kit is T25 60T A/R.63 actuator type turbo

So there ARE differences between T1R and HKS turbos.

now that i think about it... you should quit being a little girl and finish up the kit!! you have pretty much everything, you only need to invest a couple hundred dollars into it and you'll be done

wow such harsh words. lol realistically all I need is oil feed/return lines and fittings to finish it. but the major hiccup is this is the only running vehicle I own. and i'm not brave enough to tear into it witout another mode of transportation. I actually own a da integra thats pretty much ready to roll. just have to wire in the obd1 dizzy and fire it up. but that requires time/motivation which both are low on the charts right now. don't get me wrong i'd love to boost the fit, but the big thing I don't have money for which I feel is the most important thing....... tuning! I could probably get by doing it myself (which i've done in the past) but i'd feel a million times better flying my buddy down to tune it and do it on a dyno. so yeah thats easily $500+ which is far worth it IMO. but we'll see I just sold one of my sets of wheels so that would pay for tuning. but i'm still undecided.

dude, you know you want to, just do it. you can just tune it yourself and whenever you have money you can fly out your tuner! wait, tuning a car isn't that hard just have someone close to you tune it, it's not like your tuner is the only guy that can tune a car properly... well go look at my thread for some motivation lol!

yeah I'm confident that I could tune it well enough to keep it alive but to make reliable power I'm not brave enough to throw timing at it. as for local tuners your talking $450-500 anyways, and honestly there not that great. my cousins car that I helped build made ~90whp more at the same boost level with only a exhaust housing, and intake manifold and my buddy tuning it. not to mention the difference in drivability. we have taken the car on several 60+ mile trips to the track, beat on it all day and drive it home. and have no worries of it not starting up or acting up in traffic. with the other tuners....umm yeah lets say we were scared to shut it off everywhere we went. damn thing never wanted to start up once it was warm. so just a personal preference.
