hey guys

ive got my hands on a pair of cheap 2540s and i was just wondering how the 2540s compares to the 2530s i know its bigger but how much laggier is it? how much more power will it make? also whats the difference between the 2540s and gtrs which one is bigger?

thanks

2540s are a terrible turbo. Nobody wants them. It's been covered in a few threads now.

They make pretty much the same peak power as 2530's, but with more lag and hence they always sell cheap.

Still bemuses me why HKS even released them when the 2835 was the better choice (as the time) if you wanted bigger than 2530's

They are not as big as GT-RS's.

i can see why HKS did it but yeah the results weren't that great

you got a bit more power, but you paid for it with the penalty of more lag

as the others have covered off in other threads this where this is a bit of a power gap from bolt on replacement turbochargers

i guess HKS tried to fill that gap a bit but it came out with a more laggier penalty vs gains

id like to an external gate GTR TWIN 2835 (1 of them) on a single rb25 setup and see how does that perform

yes i know wrong flange, wont mate up, but i reckon this could be a real killer

Actually the compressor wheels in the 2540's were larger than GTRS's use . 2540s used a 76mm T04E compressor wheel from memory in 46 trim where GTRS's have a 71.1mm GT wheel in 52 trim .

GT2835's also use 71.1mm GT comp wheels so again smaller than 2540's T04E wheels .

Don't know why HKS used that 2540/T04E comp , would have been better off using twin 2535's .

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
