I am looking at buying either a HKS 2530 or a garret GTRS (disco potato) with a nissan exhaust housing.

Question is how much difference would there be between the two?

The 2530 would end up costing me around $500 more then the gtrs and just wondering if anyone here has had experiences with either of the two turbos on an RB20det.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

Rhys

im sure if u look in the forced induction forum you will find there is a full thread on rb20 turbo upgrades. id say there will be both those turbos on other peoples cars thT you could compare.....

search button is ur friend

I am looking for actual experiences with them, not peoples power readings. I am looking for torque and responce, for my car and want to know things like what revs power comes on and the difference between the HKS 2530, and the garret gt28rs as I am looking at buying one of the turbos.

Thank you.

got 2530 on my r32, full boost is b4 4000rpm (12.5psi). peak power is at about 6800rpm from the dyno charts (i think from memory)

feels great on boost, sumtimes pulls hard enuf to slightly break traction in 1st cuming onto boost. feels abit laggy off boost and sumtimes wish it was more torquey but been told its like that being a 2 litre. have to rev past 7000 to make sure its in boost range on the next shift.

i also carry the 2530 in my r32, and its pretty much how jvs007 has explained it, doesnt kik in until about 4,000rpm, but wen it does, it sure does feel great... im in need of a tune-up, hopefully ill get a bit more torque coming in before boost...it really does need more ;)

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
