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?

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
