I never wrote it down, but it was a Garrett tag, not sure of the number though.........When I put my new manifold on, I will take it down and post it up

MM2Death, do you have your ID number? as my turbo looks identical to that

Chris

hey chris,

fyi, as hks basically use garrett turbo parts, the id plates also say Garrett - Allied Signal.

looks will not tell u if they are the same turbo.

specs and measurements will tell u what ur turbo is.

yeah, I understand that

When the turbo comes off to put the new exhaust manifold on, I will take a few pics and measurements and write down what is on the tag :P

seems like 2530 type performance though

Well, found some pics, RS500, what would you identify this turbo as?

MM2Death, does this look like yours? I am 99% sure this is what I have

The 2530 I saw looked the same apart from the tag.

The 2530 had a HKS tag. It said it was a 2540 but after an inspection from a turbo person he said it had the 2530 exhaust housing so it was essentially a 2530.

Well lifes full of disappointments.

Because we only had 45 minutes to tune my Pfc, i still dont know what sort of mumbo it has. At 8psi it made 186rwkws, so we settled on 205rwkws (at something like 11psi?) and mega conservative tune to make sure the car made it thru the thrashing it copped 12hours later at the track...

So maybe this time next week ill have a dyno printout of the car tuned...i have to say i think im going to be happy with the final result

Joel,

fyi, both the HKS GT2530 & 2540 actually have the same exhaust wheel and inturn, they run the same A/R .64 exhaust housing.

Although, on thing to note is that the 2540 was only available with a T3 flange (to suit RB20 & RB25) where the 2530 was available with both GT25 & T3 flanges.

tell that to ur turbo person and tell him that he talks :bs!:

Chris,

unfortunately, i can't recognise those numbers nor can i find any reference to those as a garrett item.

sorry i can't be of any help.

Yer I thought the 2540 and 2530 had the same exhaust a/r but he was sure the 2540 had a larger exhaust a/r.

 

This was Bill Keen from ATS on Marion road.

don't care who he is, he doesn't know his HKS turbos.

the 2540 actually has a 'larger' T04S compressor wheel (46T - 51.7/76.2mm) as compared to the smaller T3 comp wheel (63T - 47.7/60.1mm) on the GT2530.

refer to the US HKS website which i provided for you or go to the official HKS japan website and show that to Bill Keen.

The mystery continues..................

JMS mentioned that it may be some type of Nismo turbo, but then settled for either a 2510 or 2530. Dosen't bother me, it makes plenty of power anyway for a bolt on RB20 turbo :) Can't wait to see what it makes with more boost

Chris, it looks like you and I have very similar turbos.  Those pics you attached were your turbo on your car right?

Cheers,

Scott

The pictures I have aren't digital, but are EXACTLY the same as the pics I have posted, I grabbed them of the net.

Looks like we have the same mystery turbo................seems to do a good job too :) We both make near identical power too, which would make me think they are the same

hey does anyone know if a GTR turbo is a straight bolt on? I'm going for cheap upgrades, and don't really want big hp - modding for response.

Is the GTR turbo a good option or just a waste of money? (ie. will it be too laggy?)

no flange is T25 not T3

anyhow, a single GTR turbo is similar to what they run on S13's etc, so no better than a stock 32 turbo

If you are after responce, why not try a R33 GTS25T turbo, they can be had pretty cheap, and would give good response and enough top end to make around 175-185rwkw, which is good power

Yep and just use the RB20 wastegate actuator for its higher boost setting. :D

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      By Duncan · Posted

      I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better.

      2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)

      OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed

      Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine

      Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
