May be old news to some here, but i just read on gtr.co.uk forums that HKS have a new version of the 2530, - 2530 Kansai.

see - http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/upload/showthre...ead.php?t=24528

Here is a quote from the page:

I would imagine the new designs make use of the ported shroud they developed for the GT-SS and -RS, they are presumably keeping the name 2530 as it is the most popular upgrade turbo, and well regarded as the best suited to the RB26 for general applications

Anyone know anything about them?

Yeah, going by that article, those are just GT-SS and GT-RS turbos, flanged for a bolt-on application for RB20/RB25...

You can see the ported shroud on the GT-SS in that photo...

No new releases for GTR application unfortunately :)

2350 Kansai...never heard of it...nor does it say anything in the article about it.

I was thinking it maybe a inhouse developed turbo variant by HKS Kansai but they are just down the road from me and I haven't heard them say anything.

Kai is also not Kansai so don't confuse the words...:)

they should be GT2530 kai but not GT-SS

well i can't read jap but chinese word, about 50% of the acticle, They do mention about:

compare the GT2530 kai & GT-RS, the low ~ mid range is better. It's good for Rb25 owner which want response, specially AT car and car which is heavy....

anyone who can read Jap??

I have heard that the GT-RS is rated at 400ps but has better response than the 2540

will the exhaust dump on these T3 models match up to the standard patern?

Im seriously considering one of these for my RB20 (which is making 300rwhp with a 2530) - how much mid range would you expect to loose with one of these?

I want to make about 350rwhp and considering the GT-RS flows 20% more than the 2530, i guess on paper i should be able to produce 350-360rwhp.

would that be possible? has anyone had experiences with these even if its on an SR20 or RB26?

yeah i read a recent article in Zoom i think, where they strapped a heap of turbos to a CA motor and the GTRS was dam impressive... i havent read a bad report about them on any motor.

and considering its response is similar to the 2530 but flows more than the 2540 it sounds like an awesome upgrade.

I have a friend living in japan at the moment, so i will either get him to source one for me or check them out myself when im next over there.

they are charging about $5000 retail over here for them! thats crazy.

Actually it wasnt that mag, it was some white S13 with an SR20 with R34 GTR rims, looked nice but i cant remember if it was Zoom/HPI/Speed or whatever....the article actually had a table comparing wheel sizes and A/R housings.... i think it may have even had a dyno printout of the GT-RS overlayed with a 2530 printout...

oh that sounds great, i might have to get you to fax it to me :D

if everything i am reading is right, then i think im going to give my mate a call this week and get one sent over soon.

i just dont want it to sacrafice alot of that usable mid range the 2530 delivers, im very happy with this turbo, but i have been bitten by the bug, and 300rwhp just doesnt feel quick enough anymore.

hows yours going roy?

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
