Interesting info ...:

HKS official Japanese web site http (//www.hks-power.co.jp/) rates their new(er) GTSS power output equal to their GT2530 at 320PS. This is perplexing in that the official HKS Australian web site rates GT SS at only 280ps and 2530 at 320ps.

Also the "new" Trsut T517Z's now look to be superior to the HKS items as they flow alittle more power and come onto boost earlier than the 2530's but probably later then the GTSS's.

Anyone gone from GTSS's to T51's ????

note; image below is HKS dyno graph for GTSS's !!! ... comments ?

highly reccomend 2530's. been in a couple of gtr's with them and have good response.its wierd cos its almost like stock turbo's but with alot more power

Appreciate the comments but have you guys been in a car with GTSS's, I have and it was phenominal !

Must confess however I havent been in car with 2530's

Jeremy, The 25/30s will make around 70rwhp more than your R34 made last time on the Dyno but with a very wide power band plus they can be had cheap these days.

Guys,

How do you insert an image into these messages (Im not too bad on computers but this has got me Fked)

I know someone who has Trust T517Z turbos in a GTR. Spools up around 3300rpm, starts pulling like a freight train after 4000rpm@ 12 psi. Higher boost + cams etc will see these babys pull well over 300awkw.

Quoting "Club Skyline" A Japanese tuning mag the Trust T517z turbos were designed to fit between HKS 2530 and HKS 2540 range.

But if I was in the market for turbos, the New GT-RS would be my choice.

Hi guys, as I see more of the results from twin GTRS's it starts to look more and more like they are a bit too big for a standard internals RB26. OK on 2.7 litre and 2.8 litre engines with high rpm limits (9,500 rpm plus). Just a little late building boost in the rpm range with 2.6 litres and the standard rpm limit.

Of course if HKS published compressor maps we wouldn't have this problem of having to wait for other people's results and they might actually sell more turbos faster. But I'm not holding my breath on that one.

Hi guys, moving onto T517's, no water cooling and no ball bearings, so long term reliability has to be a consideration. The most tricky bit is their wastegates open the other way, this makes using the common designs of split dumps almost impossible.

I'll pass thanks.

Uhh...ohh, i think you will find that BB turbos can be rebuilt, but if i owned a BB turbo i wouldnt be too concerned about the need to get them re-built.

Your likely to damage a turbine/compressor thru dodgy filters or engine crapping itself, before needing to rebuild the turbo's core/cartridge...that said if your buying 2nd hand, being able to cheaply re-build ($400) a bush bearing turbo is comforting.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
