Best streetable turbo......

[quik180sx]

Hey i'm about to buy a new turbo for my 93 sr20det silvia. Just wondered what you guys thought would be the best streetable turbo. I was thinking a HKS 2530 or 2540. I don't want a race car, or a drag car just something that will spool up quikly and do mid 12's. I'm open for any suggestions provided they meet all my criterea..

thanks guys.

I would say the 2530, this is a nice direct fit turbo for the SR and does not have too much lag.

The extra lag on the 2540 is not worth the extra power apparently, but I can't verify this.

Have a look here; http://importnut.net/turbosizing.htm

Hope that helps!

or HKS GT 2835 has a bit more torque range and a better liner curve... rather than top end power.....

i mean let's face it.... we dont always hit rev limiter in all gears...

just sometimes

they are ideal for 2 and 2.5 itre engine's....

and munro has two on his 9 sec GTR....

but that is only a small part of his development.....

id say 2530 aswell but..

1. how about the 2535

2. is the 2835 a high mount turbo?

When I was looking to get an aftermarket turbo for my silvia (now sold to make way for skyline) I thought well and hard about getting a full aftermarket turbo such as a 2540. Had a chat to a few people and some were even kind enough to take me for a spin in their cars so i could gauge for myself. However I came to my own conclusion that I would rather buy a second hand turbo off an S15. They are steel wheel and ball bearing flowing 320hp in stock trim and can be picked up for around $600. Was planning on getting one of these then paying another $1000-$1500 to get it HI-Flo to 420hp. Not a bad price no external gate required and bolts up to same mainfold water and oil lines same fittings. Not seeing a problem here, just something to think about. hope this helps.
