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:

http://justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=16693&cat=294&page=1

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.

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Therefore I assumed that searching for old threads would be semi-pointless due to outdated information, etc.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

Will do.

And then join the hypergear revolution lol

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

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

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

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

I'll definitely check Nengun.

Thanks for all the responses.

Really do appreciate it.

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

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.

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

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.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • 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.
