Can You Use A Hks 2530 From A Rb25 On Rb26?

[EVL-R33]

Is it possible to use a HKS 2530kai turbo from a RB25 on an RB26 twin turbo setup? Or do I have to buy the turbo specifically for a GTR? A guy i know is selling one cheap that came off a RB25...

The housings are different , not even close .

I believe the cartridges are the same though , I think it's 446179-21 .

My list shows two complete unit numbers , 472560-4 and 472560-11 but not sure which is single type and which is twin type .

Cheers A .

thanks for the prompt reply mate

yeah ive noticed the front housing on the RB25 version is different from the RB26 twin type.. i doubt it would be worth stuffing around with the housings, might as well just buy the RB26 version..

I take it you killed one?

Better off buying 2x new ones, or two that have had the same life.

Otherwise one could be much newer than another, and you might kill the other one left on your car in the near future

No actually i'm just looking for a cheaper way to get a twin 2530 setup, they are going for around $1300 on eBay for RB25s.. plus the guy I know is selling his for $1100, but i dont think it will work as its a totally different housing.. ill end up spending more tryin to make them fit rather then get a twin GTR version of the turbines...

What dont you just get the Garretts (-5s)???

Same thing essentially and priced much nicer with a tag of ~ $1400ea IIRC, and thats brand new.

Since the AUD has gone to shit, i wouldnt use anything other than Garrett if i was buying at the moment. HKS's aren't worth the price for the minimalistic difference

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

what about the hks bolt on kits vs the garret "make it fit" kits

[heller44]

Exchange rate screws you on hks kits. For example nengun is asking almost au$4500 for the gtss kit now. Bit much for the hks tag. Fitting kit for the garretts isn't that many gaskets to have to purchase anyway.

Has the price of garretts gone up with the dollar dropping or can they still be purchased for ~1200 still?

you like me will soon also know the meaning or true lag, make sure you got a electronic boost controller to help minimize it, maybe a oven in the back so you can make some baked goods waiting for them to spool up

j/k but the boost controller will really make it between a kit that boosts after 6000rpm, and one that kicks in closer to 4500rpm
