Hks Turbo Kit [Rb25]

[Swole]

Hey everyone,

I'm clueless when it comes to most of this stuff.

Just wondering whether this is a 'good' turbo for it's price:

Also wondering if anyone has had any experience with this product too.

Looking to replace my stock turbo and was linked this kit.

Thanks.

The GTRS is a great turbo, and designed specifically as a bolt on skyline kit, but it is three times the price of an equivalent Hypergear swap. Even an externally gated Garrett and custom fabricated exhaust/intake would probably cost less.

Ya, it is good. Will it suit your needs? probably not.

^^ what they said.

Remember that if you car is stock (or mostly stock) then its not as simple as 'just upgrade the turbo'.

You may need a number of supporting mods to be able to run it smoothly.

Its all in these forums so practice using the search function,, A LOT! =)

Cheers for the replies.

I read a few pages into this section of the forums and discovered that a lot of them were created years ago haha.

Therefore I assumed that searching for old threads would be semi-pointless due to outdated information, etc.

Also from what I know, all I need is a bigger fuel pump and I'm good to go.

If anyone is able to show me a similar or equivalent turbo which scotty nm35 mentioned, it would be greatly appreciated.

As I said, I'm a noob when it comes to most of this stuff haha.

Read the rb25 dynov results thread. start at the end

And then join the hypergear revolution lol

You will need an ECU, fuel pump, injectors, intercooler and tune with any turbo you choose in that HP range.

Also, better off buying HKS turbos from Nengun/Greenline/etc because it ends up being a bit cheaper

Just Jap is great for most things, but found the price of the HKS turbos a bit much

Will do.

Well if it's as good as everyone's saying it is haha.

Got everything except the bigger fuel pump then the tune afterwards.

I'll definitely check Nengun.

Thanks for all the responses.

Really do appreciate it.

Other option you have is Jesse Streeter. He can get it direct from HKS and send it to you, or you can look for 2nd hand kits on YAJ.

But with something like an after market turbo, I would rather local post-sale support.

Hypergears new highflows would outperform the GTRS, way cheaper too. Spend left over cash on Injectors and pump and convert to E85

Not to start an arguement with you, but please justify what you mean in terms of out perform?

Are you meaning straight out power figure? Dyno king

Power curve will build sooner?

Torque builds faster?

Boost to power level, meaning same boost and engine stress?

Street driveable to track?

I only say this as i dont like statements that simply say 'out perfrom' or 'better' without any imperical evidence as it can mis-lead people into making a choice that might not suit what they are chasing.

Similar to people chasing power figures rather than a target of driving experience.

This is by no means me suggesting HKS or Hypergear, i say each person is different with different goals in mind, so find your end goal and build to that with price as a secondary option.

Hence why he said it was better as a blanket statement.

Again i see an opinion and no imperical data of back to back tests or 2 dyno charts to prove this with all other factors being equal.

Do you have any charts to prove the curves do build quicker, more boost at same RPM, more power at same boost?

To clarify i dont have any that prove this wrong either.

I am an engineer so like to see evidence of what people claim, as i can claim anything i want as long as i dont need to prove it.

Dude, you were told to go look at the HG thread, where there is lots and lots of evidence. I am an engineer too. Are you going to trust me now?

You should check out the hypergear thread, there are more dyno graphs than there are sheets of perforated toilet paper on a roll.

And yes a SS1PU Hypergear will out perform a HKS2535, I dare say even a GT-RS

Pretty much this.

OP: If your dead set on a HKS turbo kit. I have a HKS GT2835 KAI kit for sale. I'm just using the intake for another 2 weeks or so. PM me if your interested. I've gone a Hypergear, but only because I wanted more power. If your only after 250-260rwkw then the 2835KAI is pretty spot on for this

Never had my eyes firmly set on the kit, just curious about more info about it haha.

Does look like I'll be getting a Hypergear, just time to choose which one is best, as from what I've seen on their site they're around $900-$1200 too which is awesome.

Cheers though.
