#31917, "HRC Stage II Part Upgrade List and a Thank you to 2gnt Posters"
Thanks to everyone who responded to my posts regarding information on the HRC Turbo Kit and part Upgrades. On Monday, I ordered a HRC Stage II with a Side Mount Intercooler (I know front mount can be more effective but my aftermarket bumper does not have enough room). I not only wanted to thank everyone but I am also posting this list as a guide to those who may be considering purchasing an HRC kit. Maybe this post could be included in the already seen section of the forum. If I left any parts out please add to the list.
- HRC Stage II with a Side Mount Intercooler (www.hahnracecraft.com) - Autometer Lunar Series Boost Guages (Air/Fuel, Pyrometer, Boost) Autometer Full Pillar Pod (www.optauto.com) - 4G63 8mm Exhaust manifold studs, nuts, and washers (www.road-race.com) - Vortech Super Fuel Management Unit with Hard Spring (Part #7X100-050) (www.vortechengineering.com) - NGK Spark Plugs BKR7E-11 (www.ngksparkplugs.com) (one range colder than stock - stock is BKR6E-11) - Missing Link 003 Fuel Cut Defender (www.group5motorsport.com)
**The websites listed may not have the best prices but had everything I was looking for at one site - especially the guages**
Other Parts Needed (can be picked up at a local auto store): - Teflon Paste - Schrader Check Valve (tire valve) removal tool - Oil Pressure Sending Unit Socket (1 1/16" size) - Spark Plug gapper
Some install notes I've read: - I will be running about 5-6psi to start with using the 2.62 disk in the SFMU with the hard spring (Idle Pressure set 47-50 psi, Static set to 60 psi). - I will also be gapping the NGK plugs to .032 to .035 - Wire tap for the Air Fuel Guage Sensor is Wire 30 (not 31 as seen in other posts - I double checked this in the shop manual) on the upper connector of the computer unit next to the fuse box in the engine compartment. (May be different for years other than a 96 GS)
That's all I could think of that I have purchased and read about. If I left anything out that I should purchase before the kit arrives or if my information is incorrect please let me know and I will update the post. Also thanks to 2gnt poster optimuspeterson for the Hahn Installation instructions as reading them ahead of time and locating components will definitely reduce installation complications.
Pictures after the install is completed (probably mid October) will be posted.

really idle is not to much of a deal to 'set'. when you get it set static with the vacuum line plugged going to the super-fmu, thats how you set static (0 on your boost gauge) then plug it back into the super- fmu then your idle should drop from 60 down 5-8psi.. just a side note for ya... did you get the stage 1 actulator for your stage 2 kit so you can run 5-6psi only? what section the the road race site did it talk about the 4g63 studs etc? cool

Below is a direct link to the section where the 4g63 bolts are listed. They have two sizes 8mm and 10mm. The only ones that fit our 420a is the 8mm. I bought four 8mm studs, nuts, and washers to anchor the exhaust manifold to the block (these studs are the four directly behind the turbo). Hahn supplies allen key bolts which are hard to tighten.
I did not buy the 5psi wastegate actuator. I spoke to a Hahn Racecraft representative (Brad) that told me a techinician can slightly adjust the stage II wastegate before it leaves the shop. There is a threaded rod going into the wastegate which controls a clevice. Turning this rod outwards can decrease boost by about 2 lbs. I choose this option instead of buying another $110 wastegate actuator.
Also, for those interested, Hahn would not allow me to drop certain parts from the kit - the Cartech FPR (which is okay since the bleed valve from this unit fits on the vortech), the allen key bolts, the black box (their version of a fuel cut defender), etc. from the kit. He told me the kit comes only as a complete kit.

you dont need to buy a extra 5psi actulator, you can just replace it and buy a boost controller "which you will later anyways" to turn up the boost. but what you did is ok i guess. i was able to deleted 'small things' from the package before... cool
