Looking at upgrading the turbos on my RB26

The 3 that im currently looking at are the HKS 2530, HKS GT-RS, Trust T517z and Trust T618z

Just wondering if anyone could help me choose between the 4 of them!

Im after MAX. power possible without loosing too much response

Orginally i was going to use a T04z but had decided to use "bolt on" upgrades to stay as stealth as possible

Cheers

James

thats 4 turbos.. so u want max power with good response??? last time i seen a T517Z dyno was a few weeks ago.. 350awkw @ 1.5BAR... with.. and i hate to say this, better response than the HKS 2530 :ninja:

Im a big HKS fan.. and i dont really like Trust much.. but.. theyre small bolt ons seem to eclipse the hks variety every time :(

I like both HKS and TRUST

STAY AWAY FROM T618Z they are for 280 degree cammed monsters, ive used them and they are not street friendly. (think 2540 but bigger)

Go T517Z 8cm's or GT2530's.... i prefer the T517z's over GT-RS as they are a bit too laggy.

we used T517z's on the below engine (totaly std int) to make 312rwkw at 15psi and 350 at 18psi. if you prefer the 10cm versions then you are in GT-RS lag city but will easily crack over 400awkw

618's are the biggest bolt on from memory, 450rwkw+

Seriously though, all the questions your asking have been debated over and over again.

You really need to read the info and workout what you want.

People can only re-post findings so many times...

I was wanting to use GT-RS turbines on my GT-R, but it seems there isnt much of a following for these. As i was told they were designed specificly for the RB26 to good response and mox power!

now can some one tell me a turbo that will make 400rwkw's with the same type of response as these and are cheaper at all!!! if i can get these for $3,500 im not paying a cent more for anything inferior to these!

9krpm : what were the response of the T517z like on your car? was your car the black GTR that was giving that white exa a run(from what the exa owner says) from Victor Harbor to Yankalilla?

what about the HKS GT-SS?? how do they match up to some of these other turbos?

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
