Hey all, I bought an engine with a turbo off a friend and she said that the turbo is an HKS GT2510. I trusted her and sold it as this but the guy I sold it to sent it back saying it is not. So can anyone help me identify what type of turbo it is from the photos below? Thanks.

I've seen pics of a turbo very similar to that I think here . Can't remember exactly but I think it was either an early HKS GT2530 or GT2535 .

The compressor housing is Garrett T04B in 0.60 A/R , the four bolt reducing adapter on the front of it looks like typical HKS .

You can't see enough in your pics of the turbine housing but the turbine itself is almost certainly the one used in HKS 2530/2535/2540 .

As Nismoid says look at the ID tags numbers .

My notes reckon the cartridge numbers (CHRA) are 446179-21 for the 2530 and 446179-19 for the 2535 .

ID tag pic , cheers A .

It doesn't have an ID tag and the core doesn't have anything eligible on it. The actuator is a Nissan one too, so that's not really any help. The girl I bought it off said it's a ball bearing GT2510 and the guy who I sold it to took it to a couple of mechanics and they both said it's a bush bearing and not a GT2510. However when you spin the wheel it keeps spinning and I have been told that this means that it is a ball bearing one. Is this right?

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
