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?

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
