i have the 2530 strapped onto my rb20 atm with a few other supporting mods.

as soon as a dyno day comes around, it'll be on the dyno getting a power figure. hoping for around 200kwrw on about 1-1.1bar.

gotta sort out the running rich issue first tho.

Which ecu?

If you cant afford a pfc to fix the rich issue, try a SAFC?

Just for the record those HKS GT2535's are really just a 2530 with a slightly larger dinosaur 6/12 blade compressor tossed in because Garrett weren't doing the 71.1mm GT35 series compressors at that time like in later GT2871R/GT-RS type turbos . If you got a GT2871R 48T and bolted the HKS T3 flanged turbine (exhaust) housing to it you would have the same approximate deal with a more modern compressor wheel .

HKS got into Garretts GT ball bearing turbos early and for this reason had some combinations of mainly compressors that they don't use today . This is why turbos like 2510's , 2535's and 2540's are no longer made , better combinations developed with later thinking has made them redundant .

Roll on the twin scroll twin integral gate turbos like IHI is supplying to Subaru because they are the way of the future .

Cheers A .

My RB25 HKS 2535, combo made 244rwkw 14psi stock inj and AFM running a PFC.

I then bought injectors, Z32 boost controller etc, no more peak power but a massive amount of midrange was gained from 18psi... The extra boost totally transformed the car!

That same turbo is now on a mates car running 250rwkw at 15psi (i think) with the same setup (ECU, Z32 etc)

I also have another mate with a HKS 2535 on an RB25 with a Wolf 3D, injectors etc and he is running 18psi and 252rwkw...

I dont think they will run much more than 250ish rwkw no matter how much boost they have but the midrange agin on them is amazing at high psi...

I have one of these babies too on my rb20...made 202kwkw at 15psi with ths usual support mods...exhaust, fmic, fuel pump, z32, injectors and remapped ecu...theres a fair bit more left in it i just need a new front pipe as mine is dented and would be restricting flow...also have a 3" metal cat coming in the main to replace the sh!tty 3" cat i have...will turn the boost up and do another tune...then we'll see how it does....

Just to add a little further,

HKS 2530 equivalent = GT2860RS = 60mm compressor = 320hp rating

2535 = 69mm compressor = 350-370hp rating, no direct spec equivalent from Garrett

Garrett 2871 48T = 71mm compressor = 380hp rating, no direct spec equivalent released by HKS

Garrett 2871 52T = 71mm compressor with bigger inlet + T25 turbine flange pattern = 400+ hp rating = HKS GT-RS (but this has T3 flange pattern)

Running beyond a compressor's flow capacity will yield more midrange torque for sure, but run them into choke and as everyone's saying you won't make any more high rpm torque and possibly strike detonation issues unless the tuner takes strong notice of what the mechanical specs are and what information is being logged during the process.

Bottom line: do the numbers really matter, or what it does on the road?

robs was a 2535, not a 2530 :domokun:

my 2535 makes about 248kw @ 14-15psi according to what the dyno rekons.. allthough it does sound abit high.....

cln, rob told me no one ever believed it and he did it a number of times to shut people up..

Justin911 is now using that turbo.

And no it wasnt 25psi thru the turbo.

DjeMz: Robs tuning wont disapoint you :)

Im also using a HKS 2535 with a power fc, After market fuel pump, Splitfire coil packs 3 inch turbo back exhaust, GFB bleed valve standard injectors and sandard AFM on a RB25 R33 Series 1 the car pulled 240 rwkw at boostworks

:)

Here is what you said:

djemz: rob from creatd is confident 2530s and 2535s are good for 250 and upwards.

with a 2530 he made 255 on his drift 33

When in fact 250rwkw is about the limit for this turbo; NO "upwards" :P

I just stated "260 is optimistic and any claims more is just BS"

Here is my Dyno graph with a before mentioned set-up.

Ignore the red line as the graph is a "b4 and after" comparison when i changed my exhaust system.

You can see where the cams and porting come into their own: More usable power and torque (better average power and torque)

I consider the GTRS as the newer version of the GT2535, as it only makes slightly more power and they stopped producing the GT2535 when the GTRS was released.

    • Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.  
    • Welcome Adam. Car looks great!
    • "With a 1.5-WAY, the LSD is effective only during acceleration."
    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.
