RS500

fair enough. given the pics, it seems that it could be a HKS GT2540R as they were the only turbo in the HKS GT25xx series which cam with the A/R .50 compressor housing and the A/R .86 exhaust housing. what flange does it have, GT25 or T3?

what does it say on the id-plate (on centre core)

dude, my apologies but i must correct you. the FPV F6 Typhoon actually runs 0.64 Bar (~9.2 psi), but never the less, very impressive cars. http://www.fpv.com.au/index.asp?link_id=2....7&parent_id=545 (engine section)

hi guys, for people (in melb.) that are interested in a good price for Hankook K104 tyres, check these guys out; Bundoora Tyre Service 223 Settlement Rd., Thomastown VIC 3074 Ph: 94656244 i just got quoted $120 per tyre (inc. fitting & balancing) for 225/50/16s, which i thought was quite good especially after being quoted $179 & $154 (respectively) from other stores. Not sure about larger sizes, you might just have to ring and ask. if u do call them, speak to Kevin and tell him Goran (with the Sierra Cosworth) referred you.

hi there, is there anyone out there that has a copy of Greddy's e-manage client/laptop software which they wouldn't mind sharing?

they were tested and featured in the latest zoom issue. apparently meant to be quite good.

dude, with the 17cm^2 exhaust housing, it would not be a very user friendly street car. you'd be looking at fullboost at about 5000-5500rpm if not later. if possible, fit a smaller T78 housing or get a garrett A/R .82 (T04) adapted/machined to suit and it will be heaps better for the street and the track. or better still, i fu haven't bought it yet and are looking to go single, the new Garrett GT35 (A/R .82 exhaust housing) would be awesome. nice spool up and heaps of air-flow.

RBVS, how do u like the Autronic as a boost controller? does it control boost well?

sorry i don't know the dimensions but would like to know if these units have a drain back plug???

SK, given the above, i assume u guys r running the RB20 head with the RB30 bottom end? if so, doesn't the RB20 head have small ports & valves? i'm sure this would be quite a restriction.

a friend has a set of N1 turbos for sale if you're intereted.......

dude, i'll give u a call.

what area r u from dude???

r these brand new???

dude, u'r gonna have to take that rear flange off and have another one made up to suit with the split dump.

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. http://www.hks-power.co.jp

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.

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. http://www.hksusa.com/products/?id=706 tell that to ur turbo person and tell him that he talks :bs!:

GTS-t VSPEC or Steve-SST, which GT30 core do u have now, can u provide the CHRA number? it might be worth your while to go up to an A/R .82 exhaust housing.

P.E.T Modifications have an in-house chassis dyno and they're in thomastown off Dalton Rd. call dennis on 9464-4225.

MUFASA, y don't u try the guys at P.E.T Modifications, they are in thomastown, they have an in-house dyno and are very good when it comes to the Nissan RB turbo engines give dennis a call on 0425-799984 or give him a visit at 7 hanrahan st, thomastown (off wood st, near thomastown McDonalds & Clatex - dalton rd). fyi, he is very helpful and quite experienced when it comes to tuning, etc. just tell him Gorjan (RS500) sent u and he should help u out.

dude, garrett are the ones that brought out the T04E range. gtst, that seems like a pretty nice combo for a street car. the 57T T04E comp wheel is quite good as it has quite a large efficiency island, which would work quite nicely with the A/R .50 comp housing. btw, it can also flow enough air to produce ~400bhp (providing the exhaust wheel can flow well enough aswell)

not at all ;-)

like i said, an A/R .82 exhaust housing will work fine for top end flow (which was the discussion of this thread), but as mentioned, a decent exhaust wheel is required to flow that gas at the higher rpm. fyi, the GT30 -11, has quite a small exhaust wheel, and is not suited to an RB30ET, let alone RB30DET. plug in the numbers (3000cc, 7000rpm & 20psi) and you'll see that a GT30 (-14) core is recommended with an A/R .82 exhaust housing. http://www.turbofast.com.au/TFmatch.html
