I'll have my GT-SS turbos on the car within the month, so stay tuned...

I'll hit OZ up for a dual dyno session and we'll print out a dyno sheet with dyno curves of both cars superimposed on each other so you can see the difference.

That said, they're completely different turbos.

GT-SS are small. Smaller than 2530s and rated at 280ps each. I'm hoping for 300kw @ all four from them.

GT-RS are huge. Bigger than 2540s and rated at 400ps each.

That's a 240hp difference in turbos. BIG DIFFERENCE.

I opted for maximal response for street and track use, so I went for the fastest spooling turbos I could find... Hopefully I'll be happy with them.

Thats my rational too will be interested to see your ressults, have you heard anything about these new trust T517Z'z, they look aweswome ! Gt SS response with 2540 power ?

ph1 on these forums has T517z with 8cm2 exhaust housings on his R33 GTR...

He made 347kw @ all four if I remember correctly, and when he took me for a drive, it didn't feel overly laggy (which I would have expected compared to ball bearing HKS range), but ask him for his personal experience and what rpm they make 1 bar at...

As mentioned in other threads, my build has been postponed, pending the arrival of forged internals, so it will be another month until I can give you any results of my GT-SS turbos :rofl:

GT-RS are not huge and are certainly not bigger than 2540's. GT-RS runs exactly the same turbine (or compressor, I cant remember) as a 2540, but is more responsive. I've been in an S14a with a GT-RS and my God does it spool up much quicker than a T28. And no other mods were put in except for the turbo.

Hey looking at it on paper, if you put 2 x GT-RS on an RB26 it's meant to have the same output as a T51R KAI? Does that mean the Kai is as "responsive" as a GT-RS setup, or that the GT-RS has as much lag as a big single?

If anything, I would have thought the GT-RS would have MORE lag than a big single?

i guess it would depend on the big single merli ;)

IE apexi AX82 big single - more lag

HKS T51 R SPL - less lag

Actually, I would think the standard S15 T28 spools and makes full boost quicker than the GT-RS.

GTSS vs GTRS, I think it would be more of what are you chasing?

and will it be on the standard displacement 2.6L?

I reckon merli is on the right track with the 2.6L + GTSS combo, matched with some cams, lightweight flywheel, should be responsive as and be fun to drive on the circuit and street.

IMO the GTRS is more suited to a 2.7+ litre combo.

But if you're after big HP then go big single?

The GT-RS are definnaly bigger than the 2540s, they run the larger GT2835 Compressor wheel (52 trim) compared to the GT2540 (46 trim) but both have the same exhaust size & housings.

GT-RS has 400PS output whereas the GT2540 has 350PS

Hi guys, I posted this a while ago, but for those that haven't read it....

Here is the data on the HKS turbos

.....................Compressor......................Turbine

....................Trim...Inducer....Exducer...Exducer...Inducer....Trim

GT2530..........63____1.860____2.344___1.883____2.098____76

GTRS.............52____1.997____2.773___1.833____2.098____76

GT2835..........52____1.997____2.773___2.020____2.204____84

GT2540..........46____2.016____2.972___1.833____2.098____76

As you can see the GTRS is merely a 2835 compressor (and cover) with a 2530/40 turbine (and cover).

Hope that helps

    • The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks. 
    • I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years. 
    • Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner
    • That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?
    • In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR.
