The housings are different , not even close .

I believe the cartridges are the same though , I think it's 446179-21 .

My list shows two complete unit numbers , 472560-4 and 472560-11 but not sure which is single type and which is twin type .

Cheers A .

thanks for the prompt reply mate :(

yeah ive noticed the front housing on the RB25 version is different from the RB26 twin type.. i doubt it would be worth stuffing around with the housings, might as well just buy the RB26 version..

I take it you killed one?

Better off buying 2x new ones, or two that have had the same life.

Otherwise one could be much newer than another, and you might kill the other one left on your car in the near future

No actually i'm just looking for a cheaper way to get a twin 2530 setup, they are going for around $1300 on eBay for RB25s.. plus the guy I know is selling his for $1100, but i dont think it will work as its a totally different housing.. ill end up spending more tryin to make them fit rather then get a twin GTR version of the turbines...

What dont you just get the Garretts (-5s)???

Same thing essentially and priced much nicer with a tag of ~ $1400ea IIRC, and thats brand new.

Since the AUD has gone to shit, i wouldnt use anything other than Garrett if i was buying at the moment. HKS's aren't worth the price for the minimalistic difference

Exchange rate screws you on hks kits. For example nengun is asking almost au$4500 for the gtss kit now. Bit much for the hks tag. Fitting kit for the garretts isn't that many gaskets to have to purchase anyway.

Has the price of garretts gone up with the dollar dropping or can they still be purchased for ~1200 still?

you like me will soon also know the meaning or true lag, make sure you got a electronic boost controller to help minimize it, maybe a oven in the back so you can make some baked goods waiting for them to spool up ;)

j/k but the boost controller will really make it between a kit that boosts after 6000rpm, and one that kicks in closer to 4500rpm

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
