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

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!

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

the GT-25 series is not entirely gone...the GT2530 and GT2530Kai are still available.

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?:D

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

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.

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 .

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

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

Jeremy

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      By MidnightR32 · Posted

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.

      Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?
