Hks Gt-ss 60t

[boosted_32]

hey guys as topic says mite be able to get my hands on a pair of HKS GT-SS turbos 2000kms old since new for $2k. Is that a good price or an average price? Compared to the stock turbos are these a desent upgrade are they bigger then the GTR n1 turbos? and would they easily reach over the 400hp mark? cheers

If they are in excellent condition then $2k is reasonable.

For a stock engine street car they are a very popular choice and with a good set of cams along the lines of the Tomei Type B (260 Deg/9.15mm Lift) they usually produce in the region of 310-330awkw at around 20psi assuming that you have the nessesary supporting mods.

R34 N1's (The only N1 variant worth using) are larger, and will make more power, with less boost.

HKS turbos are more efficient in the higher boost levels compared to the Garrett turbos aren’t they???

HKS are Garrrett, small differences, nothing major.

Few years ago you could say that, when there wasnt the offering on the market there is now, and people we using a lot of t04-t3/4 hi-flows and all sorts of garrett combos that really didnt work that well.

But these days its almost the same results across maker

gt-ss is also hks "factory replacement"

for when stocko's let go not really a power upgrade model

refer to some old hpi dvd for further info from hks eng

grab a pair of GT-RS

[SideOn]

Theres are the ebay ones yeah?

I thought they were worth it but the cost comes @ 1650 AUD for turbos + 200 AUD for postage = 1850.

U will need gaskets + other lil things etc= $$

They retail off nengun NEW in the box with everything for 2800 or so delivered.

So for like an extra $700 bux say... wouldnt you just buy NEW ones and you know u WONT have any problems?

And they might be a factory replacement.. but to go 2530's instead on lets say a stock gtr motor?

LAG?

imo id stick the the gtss's since they will net you the fabled 300kw's most people want.

Depends what he wants really anyway.

[boosted_32]

the HKS GT-RS are way out of my price range and I feel they are for someone wanting huge HP. im only really chasing the 300rwkw mark and dont want to be over boosting my engine, although I do have a built engine Id rather it last longer. Another pair of twins im looking at are the GT2860R-5's they seem to be a pretty popular choise for the rb26 is there a huge difference between the GT-SS and the GT2860? cheers

Ive got r34 N1S Perfect Street turbos they kick in so quick .. Why not buy them brand New you can pick them up for around 3k??

R34N1's, GT-SS, and the -7's are all in the same ballpark

great responsive turbos

out of the GT-SS, R34N1's and the GT2860R-7's which would give you the most power?

Also what about the GT2860R-5's are they simular to the above turbos? cheers

[R31Nismoid]

Mate, have a search. All this kind of info is common and readily available for you as they are probably the 2nd most common upgrage at the moment

GT-SS turbos are a very good turbo.We made 367awkw with these turbos on 27psi rolling down to 21psi.
