Were Does Your 2530 Start Making Boost

[Nozila]

just spewing coz its got absolutely NO midrange

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

the hks2530 is known for its midrange torque so there definately must be something causing your turbos not to start pulling and spinning the wheels as soon as you stab on the throttle.

any ideas?

1400r suggested it might b a restrictor in some line?

[1400r]

sorry hud let me clarifiy you need to keep the restrictor as it reduces the size of the hole the air has to travel through which increase the pressure holding the wastegate(act) closed ( think about a garden hose when u put your thumb over the end) Ive read that by altering the size of the hole in the restrictor you can change how the turbo ramps up on boost ie make it spool slightly earlier or later( hpi mag did a build up on a jap spec s15 which they did this on) if your missing the restrictor entirely by using pretty blue hosing instead you may get the problem you have as there is not enough pressure holding the wastegate(act) closed

are most of you guys talking about genuine hks 2530's or just any old garrett 2530??

i believe the difference is extremely noticable as far as response goes!

damn so 1 bar @ 4,000rpm is resonsble..? i was looking at the hks line of turbos for my r32 (rb20) was thinking

- GT2835 pro S

- GT-RS

- GT2530 (KAI what the diff with KAI or not??)

was told GT-RS would be laggy get the 2835 pro and i guess there going to shit aswell so might be looking at 2530 now?? anyone have any ideas on what the other 2 would be like??

[R31Nismoid]

GT-RS - forget it on RB20

2835 - obviously bigger than the 2530, so its gonna be later than all the talk, how much later... definately at least 300/400rpm IMO. Could well be more

[rofl]

Im about to order a garrett gt3071r next week and see how that goes. It will be external gate with the .64 rear. Will post results in the rb20 260kw club (hopefully).

[gt-t_r34]

kool thanks.. does anyone know difference between KAI and non?? sorry about the q's

[1400r]

guys fairly old post gen hks turbo's read Huddys post in Ceffy section lag problem is fixed on his car still crap on mine (gotta get a tune)

I remember reading in some post that the new 2530kai is rated higher than the old 2530 in terms of power...old 2530 was 320ps i think and the 2530kai is something like 350-360ps or something like that...try searching here...
