Hello

I have a change to get a working HKS 2535 for about 420 dollars. It is missing the water, oil lines, and turbo elbow for the intercooler pipe connection.

Will a rb20 or 25 turbo elbow work? I will maybe buy the turbo if I don't need the HKS elbow. Wont buy it if I need it. Reason I am asking is because I saw before on HKS's website that for the GTRS, the kit comes with the elbow and other pieces. I cannot find anything on the HKS site about the 2535, probably too old.

Would probably work good enough, just cause its not a GTX doesnt mean its shit... i've seen a HKS2540 on a RB25, which everyone says is shit, but it felt similar to my GT3076, alot is to do with the whole setup too, suspension etc..

Gotta agree with you on this one. I test drove a r33 with a hks 2540 when I was car shopping and it hauled some arse. I couldn't believe this was the same turbo everyone rubbishes. On an sr20 though its a pile of shit. I think this is where the bad rep comes from.

    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
