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?

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
