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

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
