Time For Better Turbo - R32

[GTS4dood]

Morning all,

I've just thrown a bit of new gear on and its time to get a bigger and better turbo. currently my setup is:

Pod

3 1/2" exhaust

Greddy Front mount

Greddy Adjustable Cam gears

On a GTS-4

.......i also have (but not on car yet)

Blitz SBC-iColor

Power FC

I made the stupid mistake of buying an ebay turbo (impulse buy), which doesnt fit at all, So i've decided to do it the right way and buy quality.

NOW, i DO want a quality turbo BUT i dont want to be spending 3-4K.

So i'm looking for some suggestions so i know what to be searching for.

Cheers!

I had a GTS4 with an HKS 2510 on it....yeah it went really good...but I am told that the 2530 is the ducks guts....Mine ran sweet on 1bar...Just wish the engine made more low end as not much there until 3500 rpm....hope that helps

2510 / 2530 / r33 gtst turbo

tune the pants off - should go alright

[R31Nismoid]

yep, same as everyone else

RB25 turbo for upto 200rwkw

HKS2530 for 220-230rwkw

Thanks for the advice guys. i'll check all those out in a bit more depth and hopefully have a nice shiny new turbo real soon.

Cheers!

GT RS...about the same response as a gt2530 but with more top end

[R31Nismoid]

GT-RS is not similar at all if you ask me.

Especially on the 2ltr

[rb20inside]

there is a difference between the hks gtrs and the garret gtrs

now without getting into a slinging match as to whether a hks and garret turbo is or is not better or the same as a garret equivalent size item...

-the hks gtrs is very similar to a garret 2871

-garret calls its 2860 a gtrs which is also very similar in size to the hks 2530

i had the hk2530 on my rb20 now i have the garret 2871.

both are mint turbos for the rb20 with the 2530 a little better lower and the 2871 better higher (as you would have guessed) difference is very minor though and i only changed as i fried the 2530 and just went bigger with the new one (as you do).

i thought there was a sticky thread on here somewhere about the garret 2871 on different motors and which ARR and trim to choose

hope this helps..
