All turbo's are made by Garrett :blink: companies just put their name on it :laugh:

Kinda. HKS 2530's have a different spec bearing and actuator bodies etc. Same with the GT RS, you can get an equivalent Garrett model, but you'd be slumming it.

ceeebz waiting aroudn

if you ever post the word ceebz or any variant of it, I'll personally ban you.

when you spend close to 180K on your cars your gonna need loans or alot of drugs bro :blink:

pretty sure i saw you out front of maccas not last friday but the friday before on princess hwy around midnight...

Hehe!

So in that case did HKS actually make their own turbo or did they just get a Garrett turbo and install their own bearing and actuator bodies?

Fairly sure Garrett make them to HKS's specs and then brand and package it all up for them.

kinda like paying for a Cartier watch direct from the US instead of rolling into an Aus store? :blink:

(i bought a Garrett instead of HKS.. can you tell?)

no cos it's still the same Cartier watch. If you bought a Cartier Rotonde Skeleton with a flying tourbillon for $130,000 (HKS 2530) instead of a regular Cartier Rotonde $40,000 (Garrett 2530) that would be a fair comparison.

How does one make enough to spend close to 180K on cars at aged 22 working at AAMI?

Genuine question..Not trying to starting anything or accuse you of anything.. :blink:

garrett make turbochargers for HKS and HKS have a special exclusive offer contract from garrett

this means HKS can make up a spec with whatever they like and get garrett to build and garrett are not allowed to sell it

so you can't buy a GT-RS exactly the same from garrett, as HKS have exclusive rights on the wheels, trims, specs, etc

you can get very close, but not the exact same turbocharger from garrett or a garrett reseller

so you cant buy a garrett GT-RS or 2530 or 2540 or 3037s

tourbillons are still included in some expensive modern watches as a novelty and demonstration of watchmaking virtuosity

i think i'll stick to my pov-spec garrett brah :blink:

    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
