Want To Swap Or Possibly Sell Hks Gt2530 Turbo

[DanielH]

Hi guys,

Have recently bought a rebuilt HKS GT2530 for my R32 but im not happy with the lag its got, as im after really good response and im leaning more towards a GT3076R with a .63 rear housing so if anyone has one they would swap with cash adjustment if necessary or sell me i am very keen.

Also if someone can come up with $1200 i will sell the 2530, it comes with the standard .63 internally gated rear housing and also the V Band externally gated housing on it (unsure of size, probably A/R 1.xx something), it has a 2.5" inlet and uses the standard 3 bolt rb20 hotside pipe,

Also have a 3" stainless dump to use with the internally gated rear housing or a mild steel 3" dump for the V Band housing both on the standard manifold so it is a direct drop in for an rb20 or rb25.

The turbo is currently on the car and can be inspected and/or taken for a drive in the car.

Can get pictures on request also,

Contact me on here or SMS on 0408 117 171 for a quicker response.

Cheers,

Daniel.

GL with sale, have one of these on my rb20, yes on street a little laggy, but during events/track days as tacho is generally always over 3500rpm you dont really notice it. Good upgrade for an rb20!

[DanielH]

Thanks bud, yeah once 16psi is on, its on! but i dont do any track racing, only the drags which requires super response for launching, but its mostly my daily.

[roadworia]

the 3076 wont be more responsive than the 2530

[DanielH]

Yea it will bud cause ill be running a .63 rear housing on the GT30, and i know for a fact that setup will build decent boost sooner than 4500 lol, i could buy a smaller housing for the 2530 but im looking to up the boost a fair bit more than 16psi later on so with the 3076 i will be able to do that .

[DanielH]

Some pics from just before it went on the car and some pics taken tonight.

nah a 3076 won't spool quicker than a 2530 on a lil rb20 , if your getting full boost at 4500rpm then there's a problem , mine was getting full boost by 4000rpm (20psi) . my kkr 430 spooled faster than the 2530 though but reached full boost at similar rpm , have you tried the 2530 with the iw housing?

[DanielH]

na i havent tried the IW housing as i would have to cut up another dump pipe just to try it, what size rear housing did you have ? the one on mine is about as fat as the rear housing on my GT35R lol..

I know of a fella running the GT3076 and he had a housing that was A/R 1.06 or there abouts and he then changed to a .63 and said it started spooling by 2200..

And have seen others with slightly laggier results..

If i could get 20psi by 4-5 with the 3076 i would be happy.

Edit: For anyone interested, this is the turbo's resale value:

atm mines about 7psi at 3krpm, 14psi around 5krpm and goes to 20psi at 7krpm, nice progressive boost which is what i like for hillclimbs, dont loose traction under power

[DanielH]

ah geez mines alot snappier than that, wheelspin is a major issue in 2nd let alone 1st on street tires, i have uploaded a video to show just how the turbo performs on a std RB20, after the wheelspin in 1st gear its wide open from 4k and then wide open from 4k in 2nd before more wheelspin.

If someone has a GT30 they want to sell let me know, ill pay cash, i also have a complete 1JZ setup i would swap..

[jangles]

who tuned it?

[DanielH]

its an unopened std ecu lol.

[toffy]

ouch , you hate your engine? , when i had the 2530 on the laurel it had 20psi by 4k , before getting annoyed with your turbo , i would suggest a nistune ecu mod and a tune on a dyno , it'll transform your car

[DanielH]

Yeah i have a nistune on order, i have many reasons to upgrade to a GT3076 lol, the std ecu idles and cruises at 14.7:1 AFRs +/- .2 and holds a consistant 12:1 under boost so im not worried about my engine, lol.

The biggest reason i have for upgrading from the 2530 is that im already at the limit of the smaller turbo, i can feel it drop off at around 7200rpm at 16psi, which i never had with the turbo i had before that (eBay spec T3/T04E), which i would expect given the small front wheel and housing these turbos have.

So naturally when i get the nistune and get it tuned for over 20PSI im going to have all sorts of issues high in the revs with this turbo.

[toffy]

Doesn't really tell you where your timing is at , have you looked through the forced induction forum on this site? , loads of info on all rb's may help you make up your mind on what turbo you want

[DanielH]

lol my mind has been made up, this thread was started to sell or swap my turbo, not to start a big debate on which turbo i want.

[toffy]

fairo , will be interesting to see the end result , i can remember going for a run in a 3076 equipped r33 , seemed pretty mental .

[DanielH]

Yeah a mate of mine has one on his 1JZ, hits 16psi before 3k and pulls like a mule till 8, and they sound awesome on spoolup

I can vouch for the mentality of mine, it's awesome esp with a 2" screamer

Love it

I would actually marry it if I could. I might just get a big gold ring to put around it.

[DanielH]

Yeah your car sounds mental, i miss my screamer i plumbed it back for daily driving reasons lol.
