I am looking at buying either a HKS 2530 or a garret GTRS (disco potato) with a nissan exhaust housing.

Question is how much difference would there be between the two?

The 2530 would end up costing me around $500 more then the gtrs and just wondering if anyone here has had experiences with either of the two turbos on an RB20det.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

Rhys

im sure if u look in the forced induction forum you will find there is a full thread on rb20 turbo upgrades. id say there will be both those turbos on other peoples cars thT you could compare.....

search button is ur friend

I am looking for actual experiences with them, not peoples power readings. I am looking for torque and responce, for my car and want to know things like what revs power comes on and the difference between the HKS 2530, and the garret gt28rs as I am looking at buying one of the turbos.

Thank you.

got 2530 on my r32, full boost is b4 4000rpm (12.5psi). peak power is at about 6800rpm from the dyno charts (i think from memory)

feels great on boost, sumtimes pulls hard enuf to slightly break traction in 1st cuming onto boost. feels abit laggy off boost and sumtimes wish it was more torquey but been told its like that being a 2 litre. have to rev past 7000 to make sure its in boost range on the next shift.

i also carry the 2530 in my r32, and its pretty much how jvs007 has explained it, doesnt kik in until about 4,000rpm, but wen it does, it sure does feel great... im in need of a tune-up, hopefully ill get a bit more torque coming in before boost...it really does need more ;)

    • Done about 5k Km on the PS5's now, excellent street tyres, great in the dry, and the wet, seem to be wearing very well, I haven't measured tread depth, but it looks like minimal wear, I also had a different alignment done about 1500km ago,  From looking at the tread wear, which is really only minimal, the alignment changes were based off how the tread looked, and how it felt throwing it around, the changes have shown great results 215/45 17 at 32 psi Front Caster: 5.5° Camber: -1.5° Toe: 0.0mm Rear Camber: -1.0° Total Toe-in: 1.5mm I actually prefer PS5's now over the RS4's, as the PS5's are much better in the wet IMO, and as the MX5 gets driven in all weather conditions doing daily duties, hwy trips, and blasts in the mountains, wet weather grip is high on my priority list
    • To update this thread. I got sent a replacement Attesa pro unit and all is now working as expected. Cheers

    • Indeed they do. Best my diff builder could tell is it's a combination of the different cut/angle and it would seem they lap them in well on accell but less so on decel. He had to use a slightly different pattern to the lap to get the best result noise wise. Also as the rear diff runs in, the whine is getting less.        Overall they seem like a good thing so far. He's done a few neat crown/pinion before but all for race cars with loud everything, in most cases the exhaust is louder, so I am the first to notice.... and be somewhat of a pain   
    • What do you mean by "test"? It sounds like you're just switching things on and off that you already know don't work. Get the wiring diagram and a multimeter and start looking for power where there is supposed to be power and earth where there is supposed to be earth. Look for continuity across switches that are otherwise unresponsive, etc etc.
