Hks Gt3240 Id And Details .

[discopotato03]

Hi all , firstly would like the ID Tag no's from one of these if possible .

I have found different figures for the turbines in these turbos , HKS USA site shows ~ 58 x 54mm which sounds like a mildly cropped GT30 turbine . Some pics I found from a string at Performance Forums shows the turbine at 63.99 x 58.8 mm which is basically GT32 turbine dimensions in 84 Trim .

The compressor is shown as 82.46 x 60.64 so 54 Trim .

If anyone has one of these turbos would it be possible to measure the wheels even if from the outside of the housings to confirm the sizes .

The difficult thing to know is whether HKS got Garrett to crop a 68mm GT35 turbine or used a GT32 turbine with the GT30 or 35 sized shaft and bearing pack .

Either way you could say the HKS GT3240 is a slightly reduced optomised GT3540R ie with slightly smaller trim compressor and turbine mid way between GT30 and GT35 to pick up the response . I think its power rated at ~ 570 ps where the GT3540R is around 700 Hp , 700ps ?

If all my assumptions are correct , with a suitably sized (a/r) and T3 flanged turbine housing this would suit many that are asking for more than a GT30R can give with less lag than a GT3540R would have . Typically HKS want to charge a lot more for something thats a little less for their "Power and Response" monica ...

Cheers A .
