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?

    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.

    • Isn't there a PAR engineering gearset that has closer to stock ratios? And they claim they'll do whatever ratios you want.
