Hello all in Australia, :)

I have looked around this site a bit and you all seem to know your stuff and have many interesting threads on the site that have been very helpful....

I have read a lot about the GT2860R turbos with good reviews on here so far (its the -5 HKS2530 equiv)

I Have ordered these turbos and am looking to fit them next week and get the car mapped up.

So far im running:

87mm JE Pistons,

new bearings

HKS 264 Camshafts

uprated fuel pump

uprated FPR

denso 550cc injectors

trust elbows

downpipe decat and exhaust

induction kit

HKS hard pipe kit

Power FC ecu and boost kit

OS Giken STR twin plate clutch

HKS Steel head gasket

Apart from a refresh 2000 mile ago with better bearings etc the bottom end is STD ! no uprated rods for me and a std gearbox :)

Because of this i am thinking no more than 550BHP at the fly ? I am therefore aiming for 550 exactly hehe

Does any1 on here run these turbos and what are you making power-wise with lag/response/torque etc ?

Any help is muchly appreciated guys as no-one in the UK hardly has these turbos yet....

Heres a pic or 2 of my car >>>>>>>

Hey Peter, glad to see someone running a 32, seems like alot more 33's and 4's over there.

I'm using these turbos on my R32GTR, dont know if my numbers will help you though. My engine is standard internals with adjustabke cam gears, dumps etc and Power FC. It makes 406 hp at the back wheels at...from memory as i'm in off-shore at the moment, at 16 psi. Just about maxed out the stock injectors. As kwazza11 said check out the rb26 turbo upgrade sticky

Good luck and keep us posted with your dyno results

Thanks all for the responses guys,

Im lgetting the new turbos fitted on saturday and hopefully i will get to 550 bhp at the fly without too much lag, im just hoping that it wont be too laggy....

Is there anyone over there that is running the same bhp as 550 ? and what mods you have to get there ?

I made 360rwkw on only 13psi at ADVAN. Engine has 88mm pistons, cams, oversize valves etc. TWO.06L on these forums has run a 10.3 with these turbo's also

Wrong turbos dude, two.06l ran a 10.3 on HKS 2530's...

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
