HKS ceased production of GT 2530/2535/2540 turbos?

[Cake]

Is it true that they have stopped producing these with T3 flange? Anyone know if they will be producing replacements, or is the GT-RS and 2530KAI it?

[Trust33]

Ive heard of the 2535 being a ceased turbo.Might be true might be true might not be true..

[T0nyGTSt]

The GT25xx series goes back to the early 90's.

Is the SS/RS taking over?

I can check at home tonight if you want, I just got my copy of the new 2005 dealers catalogue

[Cake]

that would be great Lee

nengun and greenline have both confirmed it for me now though that they are discontinued. although they are still listed on the hks-jpn site, along with the gt-ss and gt-rs.

i guess SS/RS is the future, they are also priced a fair amount higher than the 2530-2540's were at the moment

[ix9]

Yep, got told the same thing. SHIT.

Right after i'd ordered it from greenline too

What else is exactly like it ? I wanted a 2535 dammit!

[Evo_Lee]

OK looking at it now, it is correct but the GT-25 series is not entirely gone...the GT2530 and GT2530Kai are still available. Also you can still buy GT25 0.64 and 0.86 exhaust housing.

Gone

GT2510

GT2535

GT2540

GT2540R

[Turbo Tits]

thats a shame, as these turbos were recently cheap to buy new, should have bought a load of last run units before they discontinued them, as old or not, they are great turbos

no need to worry, there will still be stocks of these turbos around the world. Just better get in quick before they run out!

phew! Cause I would be pissed if I couldn't get my hands on a pair of 2530s when the time comes.

Ide say its for the best, they'll surely start research or already have into a more advanced turbo range to superceede the 25xx series

Youd think.

I do know that garret make the 2535 turbos still.I just recently got a quote from horsepowwer in a box for it.

Just order hks comp/exh turbines and fit! wallah! is that possible?

The hks 2535 had had some kik arse punch in it by the looks of the dyno graphs that hks have on the rb25det..

Shameless plug, if you want to buy any I can get them for you...helps when you have a mate working at HKS Technical Factory .

[2BNVS]

evo_lee: hook me up with a 3037s bro hahah

cheers...ben.

[Evo_Lee]

LOL...suddenly I'm getting so many PMs.

I like the GT30 series, plenty of potential should you need more.

I would not loose any sleep . Garrett do two CHRA's very similar to the 2530 , one is from the GT28RS (better 60mm compressor) and one called the GTR upgrade CHRA . In fact garrett do a similar if not identical turbo to the 2530 for direct fitment to the RB26 .

The GTRS is only badge engineering on a 2871R (see ATP Turbo.com) both are streets ahead of the HKS GT2540 which was garbage anyway .

Any one with tap into HKS will find they had an exclusive tie with Garrett to produce certain combinations of compressor and turbines . This would have had a sunset clause and competition issues would have stuffed it for HKS . So you'll find all these things being sold round the world by Garrett (who makes them anyway) for less than HKS thievery .

Cheers A .

The whole Garrett / HKS connection has been done to death, there's a HUGE thread around here somewhere about it, and summation seems to be:

Yes, HKS are Garrett items, but in unique combinations and specs you can't buy from Garret direct.

If you want to discuss it further i suggest revive the aforementioned thread.

[discopotato03]

The point I'm making is that just because HKS don't sell it any more dosen't mean it CAN'T be bought off Garrett or some supplier of . Give me an example of a HKS turbo that can't be replicated and I'll show you how it can . 2540's and 3240's could be a challenge but better things are available anyway .

Can anyone tell me what the difference is bewteen the standard 2530 and the 2530KAI ? not only in terms of dimensions but driveability and top end power ?

Thanks

So what an ATP 3071 equal to?? The RB20/25 GTRS?
