nengun have them delivered for about $2200 (sorry if imissed where you said you wanted 2nd hand)

http://www.nengun.com/hks/turbo-kit-gt-sports

Thanks for that mate.

Not a fan of NENGUN delivery time haha, but either way I'm not looking at paying for a brand new kit, just need the turbo it self if I was going to buy new.

2 x turbo's have popped up in the for sale section. A GARRETT GTRS as well as a HKS2540. I have heard the GT2540 is a fairly average turbo and doesn't perform to well on the RB motors, it doesn't seem to come recommended by many?

Does anyone have any infp/past experience on the GT2540?

GTRS I would like to get but I am pretty sure its of a T25 flange, would rather just get a a T3 flanged one.

Thanks,

Abu

i have the hks2530 on my fairly well sorted 32, cannot rate it highly enough. drives like the stock turbo untill the boost gets up then it just takes off.

shame ur not in brisbane i could take u for a spin

prob also worth mentioning its pretty progressive power delivery, like full throttle gear changes whilst cornering can be made as fast and aggressive as u like and it wont just light up and spend u sideways off the road :thumbsup:

Oh I wish lol

When do you make full boost man? And how much power and boost you running?

Where did you pick your turbo up from?

Thanks,

They should be good for at least 240rwkw on the RB20. There's a guy on the forums that has made 270rwkw on an RB25.

The GTRS has to be some kind of evolution/step forward compared to the old HKS2530 & 2540. They wouldn't have stopped producing them otherwise..?

not really a step forward in terms of lag just more power

got a dyno sheet comparo from a Jap Drift mag with the gtrs and 2540 fitted to a R34 4 door

the 2540 has almost the same curve as the gtrs but gtrs made just under 390ps

compared to the 2540 made 360+ ps

the gtrs only pulled away in the very top end

i got the turbo from japan a few years ago. im running 1.17 bar or 17 psi i think to get 213 or 214 rwkw from the standard injectors. obviously its not very smart having it like but i dont care if my motor shits itself lol, its served me well for years :down:

i got my hands on a pfc recently and as soon as i can ill grab some 550 or 600cc injectors and have it retuned for more boost and try and max the turbo out. im hoping to get 225-30rwkw but a big fat meh if i dont. i have gone cheap on the motor like this because i am in the position to be stupid, and only consider the rb20 as something to power my car untill my 2630 goes in.

however things take time if u want to do them right, so i think a set of injectors and retune is on the cars to tide me over a bit :thumbsup:

as far as full boost goes id have to go drive the thing and actually look to tell u. its very decent tho, an excellent balance of stock responce and with the extra top end power u need. it holds 1.17 fairly well out to 6.5k-7k fairly well. i usually change at about 6500 sometimes i might rev it out more if im feeling ricey or get sloppy ;P

Thats awesome man.

I have been trying to find a HKS2530 for a while and not having much luck at that, and it was the same deal with the PFC, unless I wanted to spend $1,800 or something similar for the PFC.

Ended up going with a Wolf3d plug and play and am now trying to find a turbo.

Why don't you grab your self some R32 GTR injectors? Would only set you back about $250 - $350 for a good set and they can support up to about 300rwkw I think it is?

Thats what I was planning on getting until I heard about NISMO injectors..

NISMO 740cc is about $500 brand new now, probably best to spend a little bit more and grab those, I think thats what I will be doing now, but there a little over kill for an RB20 lol.

If your looking at selling that 2530 once you go 26/30 I would be keen, but depends how far down the track that is :)

Thanks for the info.

I have just fitted my HKS 2540 to my RB20DET that sits in my pig 180sx... I should have a dyno sheet for it sometime next week with a little feed back for you if you want...?

Much appreciated!

Would be very keen to see how it performs.

Have you driven it at all yet? :D

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
