HKS GT SS vs 2530's vs Trust T517Z's

[jezzrrr]

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 ?

Id go for the 2530's they are the best street turbo's you can buy.. ive seen t51's they are not as good as 2530's once you crank the boost up.

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

[MINES_DATSUN]

im pretty sure the 2530's can outpower any turbo for a everyday street driven skyline or track used skyline

Hi Jeremy, noticed youre in perth, a couple of my friends have 2530's, one with an r32(micko),and another with an r33 gtr(EVLR33).Im sure theyll be more than happy to bring you for a test ride.Both are running around 400+hp on 1.2 bar right now i think.

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.

Figured in out, see original message I have attached dyno chart for GTSS's quite impressive.

[Merli]

Doh, I was hoping you had a dyno chart from an actual GTR owner

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.

[Sydneykid]

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.

Jezzrrr,s R34 made 378rwhp today on the stock turbos.

Yes, translated for those in metric land 278 KW's !... and watch this space, more to come yet !

cheers Steve and Ant !

Check out the latest issue of High Performance Imports, (No.40) GT-R special No.4. They test the Trust T517z turbo.

[R32-GTS]

Im also deciding on whether to use the t51z's or 2530's . The t51's are cheap tp buy but have no water cooling or ball bearing. It could be a good thing though because it means they are able to be rebuilt , unlike the 2530's.

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.
