Hks Vs Trust

[Turbz_13]

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

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

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

[OFENSV]

I use hks 2530's, just shy of 350awk and only on 1.25bar

[Bumblebee]

very nice! but because theyre 2530's ur almost @ theyre flow limit... and psi has nothing to do with it

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

Max power without loosing response?

2530's.

GT-RS are too big for stock capacity RB26

517's (having been in a car that had them, and swapped out to the garrett 2530 equivs), the 517's weren't nearly as good.

[Turbz_13]

whats got the Highest power rating??

[Turbz_13]

whats got the highest effiency? what of these turbos will make the most without loosing effiency?

[Turbz_13]

what about the T517z 10cm vs. the GT-RS'?? power and response? which is better/.

[Turbz_13]

i will be wanting to run 20psi+ thro them

[R31Nismoid]

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...

HKS 2530's for sure.

[HKS_R34]

i would be going the 2530's, check out what other people have made http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Rb...yno-t93880.html .and make a decision based on that mate.

t517z all the way

[RPMGTR]

Not even close!

We have made in excess of 450kw@wheels with 2530's

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!

[Turbz_13]

I am running an ECU that i can set up anti-lag if there is any issure with lag, also set up launch control if again i dont like how laggy they are off the line!!

The t517z 10cm made 422rwkw on my rb26. They were usable on the track.

the GT-RS's are not going to be very responsive, as stated before they are abit large for standard capacity unless your really going to rev it. I take it they will be going onto a built motor?

[Turbz_13]

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?
