I just picked up my newly rebuilt HKS 25/35 turbo from RacePace, which I destroyed at Calder last weekend. Anyway, the turbo core has been replaced with a brand new item which was quite costly. The old compressor and exhaust housing were the old parts taken from the old turbo so this thing is pretty much brand spanking new. It made 240rwkws (RacePace Dyno) on my car which runs a completely standard engine.

Price = $1800

Brand new these are about $2200 I believe and mine is pretty much brand new, 0ks!

For another $300 I will also thrown in the custom made dump pipe that helped this turbo make its rear wheel figure :D This dump pipe has a separate pipe for the internal wastegate that is typically plumbed back into the exhaust. However, this one does not plumb back making it a screamer pipe, its loud but can be plumbed back in very easily. Here are some videos of the screamer pipe.

Pics added, despite appearances this turbo is brand new (the core), just the exhaust and compressor housings are second hand which does not matter. The build cost $1600 at RacePace Motorsport! The initial cost of the turbo second hand was $1600 so I have spent quite a bit on this sucka.

this is an awsome turbo, got one in my car never been so happy. it comes alive early and kicks in agen bout 5krpm, power just keeps coming till red!!

my car made 234rwks can make more but im running stock injectors, this turbo can easily make 250rwkws.

good luck mate :)

Either it was just its time or I didn’t let it cool down enough. I gave it a few really hot laps at Calder and didn’t give it a good enough cool down period. The HKS turbos are very hardy but when you use them on the track and don’t look after them properly they can break :) The exhaust wheel drooped because I turned it off when it was obviously still way to hot … stupid!

These are the best upgrade from a standard turbo, depending on who you speak to a standard turbo makes about 170rwkw running 11psi off a good tune. The 2535 will boost this to about 240rwkw which is a massive difference :unsure:

MORE33BOOST - 11psi made 240rwkw ... obviously you can go higher.

gtrGhosTDoGG11 - I imagine about $20 for normal post. I can find out for you.

justin911 - will consider it but I think it will sell anyway. sorry!

    • No need to drill any holes. There's plenty of access to reach through and behind all of that steel to "push" from behind with a pulling action on the slide hammer. There's all sorts of attachments you can screw on the end of them.
    • Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.
    • That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...
    • It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?
    • This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.
