So I've recently replaced my old HKS 2530'S with the GARRETT 2860'S-5. I was instantly impressed with the low down power. I'm still trying to convert the speed into RPM to get a direct comparison. Because the shop that did the power run with the garrett's was a V8 place they didnt realise the RPM limit, getting off it at around 7,000rpm in 4th opposed to 8,200rpm so the run was never complete.

Now, they were different dyno's but I've had my car on both previously making nearly the same power. But needless to say these GARRETT turbo's are good bang for buck. On the garrett run we had major issues with wheel spin, seen in the dyno also.

HKS 2530'S made 21PSI at 5300

GARRETT 2860'S made 20PSI at 4,300

Can you get it on the same dyno? Just from the corrections you can see a number of differences

IT Temp - 52degree vs 23 (which will affect outright power signifigantly)

Shoot6F vs Shoot6

And the list goes on :happy:

That first graph though, the 2530's come on pretty late :banana:

Have you changed anything other than the turbos??? Like cam gears, cams, tune etc?

I ask as the 2530's arent making 320rwkw till 5800rpm so there was definately something 'up' with the 2530 run. They should be markedly more responsive than that.

Change nothing, just took those turbo's off then replaced them with new ones. The two dyno's make very similar power, as I've compared in the past. Regardless its a tuning tool and turbo's worth just over 2k are good value.

What mods are done to your car?

And it might be good to get another dyno done showing RPM. Might be worth it since you have gone to this length of trouble.

IMO the biggest difference between hks 2530 and the -5 is that HKS changes the inside of their housing which allows more airm gives slower spool up time but more top end if that makes sense.

R32 GTR's do 28.5 km/h per 1000rpm in fourth.

Oh there is no dbout price vs effectiveness the garretts win hands down, totally agree there.

Im just @ a loss as to your 2530 response (or lack there of), its very sub-standard where they should be much closer to the -5's response :banana:

240rwkw @ 5000rpm is no good for the 2530!

Do you have cam gears?

Maybe the 2530's like a different setting to the -5's perhaps? (just thinking what could be the cause)

No cam gears dude.

I think the 2530's are reasonable, here is Jonn's dyno with the 2.8 stroker with the same sort of power line locally here also.

I think the 2530's would handle more boost and rpm, the 2860's feel awesome for the track ect.

Thats a 2530 graph, and you can see its very similar to your -5's graph give or take a bit which is fair enough.

It was m&m's setup from a couple years ago.

Its all interesting :(

You've got big cams too dont ya? (was looking @ ur post in RB26 dyno thread)

Cam's are reasonable dude, depends on tune also I guess if we increased the timing the power band could change. I'll hunt around but I've got my garagesauras power run around here somewere and its got bulk timing tuned to 102RON and brings them on much earlier.

generally do the 2530s run out of puff or blow first?

I was thinking 350kw should be achievable from my car with 2530s without too much lag

it was laggy before with the 2530s, exhaust and boost controller, but i was thinking porting, and cam gears should be enough to help avoid this?

I think the 2860's will run out of puff before the 2530's, which technically will make more outright and topend power. 350kw is achievable wth both.

Depends what you call lag, if your happy with power around 4,500-5,000rpm you should be fine.

Few graphs from here on the West.

Great graph...would have loved to see -7's and -9's plotted as well.

2530's and -5's improve response with a good set of Cams.

GT-RS can only improve with a larger displacement.

Interesting graph comparo Brockaz, some setups have given interesting results!

Actually Brockaz - do you have Gav's graph with the new turbos on it to stick into that?

It would be something to drool over :banana:

im about to install a set of -5's on my gtr in the next week or so, waiting for them to come in as they are out of stock.. will post my graph as soon as its dynoed.. our goal is the low to mid 300kw at all 4s mark

from what i have heard, definately great bank for buck with the garretts

I only have one of his preliminary tunes.

I'll see if I can get a copy of his latest graph, which shows the -5's with roughly the same top end as the GT-RS's but with the massive midrange.

I can probably get a copy of a set of GT-SS's running abour 460hp to compare as well, so I've kept all the data and will add to it when I get the chance.

Oh, and the 2.8L of John's with the 2530's is running roughly 20psi.

    • Jdm DC2R is also nice for a FF car compared to the regular hatches of the time.
    • Now that the break-in period for both clutch and transmission is nearly over I'd like to give some tips before I forget about everything that happened, also for anyone searching up how to do this job in the future: You will need at least 6 ton jack stands at full extension. I would go as far as to say maybe consider 12 ton jack stands because the height of the transmission + the Harbor Freight hydraulic platform-style transmission jack was enough that it was an absolute PITA getting the transmission out from under the car and back in. The top edge of the bellhousing wants to contact the subframe and oil pan and if you're doing this on the floor forget about trying to lift this transmission off the ground and onto a transmission jack from under the car. Also do not try to use a scissor jack transmission lift. You have to rotate the damn thing in-place on the transmission jack which is hard enough with an adjustable platform and a transmission cradle that will mostly keep the transmission from rolling off the jack but on a scissor lift with a tiny non-adjustable platform? Forget it. Use penetrating oil on the driveshaft bolts. I highly recommend getting a thin 6 point combination (box end + open end) wrench for both the rear driveshaft and front driveshaft and a wrench extension. These bolts are on tight with very little space to work with and those two things together made a massive difference. Even a high torque impact wrench is just the wrong tool for the job here and didn't do what I needed it to do. If your starter bolts aren't seized in place for whatever reason you can in fact snake in a 3/8 inch ratchet + 6 point standard chrome socket up in there and "just" remove the bolts for the starter. Or at least I could. It is entirely by feel, you can barely fit it in, you can barely turn the stupid ratchet, but it is possible. Pull the front pipe/downpipe before you attempt to remove the transmission. In theory you don't have to, in practice just do it.  When pulling the transmission on the way out you don't have to undo all the bolts holding the rear driveshaft to the chassis like the center support bearing and the rear tunnel reinforcement bar but putting the transmission back in I highly recommend doing this because it will let you raise the transmission without constantly dealing with the driveshaft interfering in one way or another. I undid the bottom of the engine mount but I honestly don't know that it helped anything. If you do this make sure you put a towel on the back of the valve cover to keep the engine from smashing all the pipes on the firewall. Once the transmission has been pulled back far enough to clear the dowels you need to twist it in place clockwise if you're sitting behind the transmission. This will rotate the starter down towards the ground. The starter bump seems like it might clear if you twist the transmission the other way but it definitely won't. I have scraped the shit out of my transmission tunnel trying so learn from my mistake. You will need a center punch and an appropriate size drill bit and screw to pull the rear main seal. Then use vice grips and preferably a slide hammer attachment for those vice grips to yank the seal out. Do not let the drill or screw contact any part of the crank and clean the engine carefully after removing the seal to avoid getting metal fragments into the engine. I used a Slide Hammer and Bearing Puller Set, 5 Piece from Harbor Freight to pull the old pilot bearing. The "wet paper towel" trick sucked and just got dirty clutch water everywhere. Buy the tool or borrow it from a friend and save yourself the pain. It comes right out. Mine was very worn compared to the new one and it was starting to show cracks. Soak it in engine oil for a day in case yours has lost all of the oil to the plastic bag it comes in. You may be tempted to get the Nismo aftermarket pilot bearing but local mechanics have told me that they fail prematurely and if they do fail they do far more damage than a failed OEM pilot bushing. I mentioned this before but the Super Coppermix Twin clutch friction disks are in fact directional. The subtle coning of the fingers in both cases should be facing towards the center of the hub. So the coning on the rearmost disk closest to the pressure plate should go towards the engine, and the one closest to the flywheel should be flipped the other way. Otherwise when you torque down the pressure plate it will be warped and if you attempt to drive it like this it will make a very nasty grinding noise. Also, there is in fact an orientation to the washers for the pressure plate if you don't want to damage the anodizing. Rounded side of the washer faces the pressure plate. The flat side faces the bolt head. Pulling the transmission from the transfer case you need to be extremely careful with the shift cover plate. This part is discontinued. Try your best to avoid damaging the mating surfaces or breaking the pry points. I used a dead blow rubber hammer after removing the bolts to smack it sideways to slide it off the RTV the previous mechanic applied. I recommend using gasket dressing on the OEM paper gasket to try and keep the ATF from leaking out of that surface which seems to be a perpetual problem. Undoing the shifter rod end is an absolute PITA. Get a set of roll pin punches. Those are mandatory for this. Also I strongly, strongly recommend getting a palm nailer that will fit your roll pin punch. Also, put a clean (emphasis on clean) towel wrapped around the back end of the roll pin to keep it from shooting into the transfer case so you can spend a good hour or two with a magnet on a stick getting it out. Do not damage the shifter rod end either because those are discontinued as well. Do not use aftermarket flywheel bolts. Or if you do, make sure they are exactly the same dimensions as OEM before you go to install them. I have seen people mention that they got the wrong bolts and it meant having to do the job again. High torque impact wrench makes removal easy. I used some combination of a pry bar and flathead screwdriver to keep the flywheel from turning but consider just buying a proper flywheel lock instead. Just buy the OS Giken clutch alignment tool from RHDJapan. I hated the plastic alignment tool and you will never be confident this thing will work as intended. Don't forget to install the Nismo provided clutch fork boot. Otherwise it will make unearthly noises when you press the clutch pedal as it says on the little installation sheet in Japanese. Also, on both initial disassembly and assembly you must follow torque sequence for the pressure plate bolts. For some reason the Nismo directions tell you to put in the smaller 3 bolts last. I would not do this. Fully insert and thread those bolts to the end first, then tighten the other larger pressure plate bolts according to torque sequence. Then at the end you can also torque these 3 smaller bolts. Doing it the other way can cause these bolts to bind and the whole thing won't fit as it should. Hope this helps someone out there.
