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 ?

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.

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
    • Trailer got new mudguards to accommodate the new wheels Lightweight ally Painted, stickered and done ✅ 👌
