I'll have my GT-SS turbos on the car within the month, so stay tuned...

I'll hit OZ up for a dual dyno session and we'll print out a dyno sheet with dyno curves of both cars superimposed on each other so you can see the difference.

That said, they're completely different turbos.

GT-SS are small. Smaller than 2530s and rated at 280ps each. I'm hoping for 300kw @ all four from them.

GT-RS are huge. Bigger than 2540s and rated at 400ps each.

That's a 240hp difference in turbos. BIG DIFFERENCE.

I opted for maximal response for street and track use, so I went for the fastest spooling turbos I could find... Hopefully I'll be happy with them.

Thats my rational too will be interested to see your ressults, have you heard anything about these new trust T517Z'z, they look aweswome ! Gt SS response with 2540 power ?

ph1 on these forums has T517z with 8cm2 exhaust housings on his R33 GTR...

He made 347kw @ all four if I remember correctly, and when he took me for a drive, it didn't feel overly laggy (which I would have expected compared to ball bearing HKS range), but ask him for his personal experience and what rpm they make 1 bar at...

As mentioned in other threads, my build has been postponed, pending the arrival of forged internals, so it will be another month until I can give you any results of my GT-SS turbos :rofl:

GT-RS are not huge and are certainly not bigger than 2540's. GT-RS runs exactly the same turbine (or compressor, I cant remember) as a 2540, but is more responsive. I've been in an S14a with a GT-RS and my God does it spool up much quicker than a T28. And no other mods were put in except for the turbo.

Hey looking at it on paper, if you put 2 x GT-RS on an RB26 it's meant to have the same output as a T51R KAI? Does that mean the Kai is as "responsive" as a GT-RS setup, or that the GT-RS has as much lag as a big single?

If anything, I would have thought the GT-RS would have MORE lag than a big single?

i guess it would depend on the big single merli ;)

IE apexi AX82 big single - more lag

HKS T51 R SPL - less lag

Actually, I would think the standard S15 T28 spools and makes full boost quicker than the GT-RS.

GTSS vs GTRS, I think it would be more of what are you chasing?

and will it be on the standard displacement 2.6L?

I reckon merli is on the right track with the 2.6L + GTSS combo, matched with some cams, lightweight flywheel, should be responsive as and be fun to drive on the circuit and street.

IMO the GTRS is more suited to a 2.7+ litre combo.

But if you're after big HP then go big single?

The GT-RS are definnaly bigger than the 2540s, they run the larger GT2835 Compressor wheel (52 trim) compared to the GT2540 (46 trim) but both have the same exhaust size & housings.

GT-RS has 400PS output whereas the GT2540 has 350PS

Hi guys, I posted this a while ago, but for those that haven't read it....

Here is the data on the HKS turbos

.....................Compressor......................Turbine

....................Trim...Inducer....Exducer...Exducer...Inducer....Trim

GT2530..........63____1.860____2.344___1.883____2.098____76

GTRS.............52____1.997____2.773___1.833____2.098____76

GT2835..........52____1.997____2.773___2.020____2.204____84

GT2540..........46____2.016____2.972___1.833____2.098____76

As you can see the GTRS is merely a 2835 compressor (and cover) with a 2530/40 turbine (and cover).

Hope that helps

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
