Hks Turbo Elbow Question


Recommended Posts

Hello

I have a change to get a working HKS 2535 for about 420 dollars. It is missing the water, oil lines, and turbo elbow for the intercooler pipe connection.

Will a rb20 or 25 turbo elbow work? I will maybe buy the turbo if I don't need the HKS elbow. Wont buy it if I need it. Reason I am asking is because I saw before on HKS's website that for the GTRS, the kit comes with the elbow and other pieces. I cannot find anything on the HKS site about the 2535, probably too old.

Its not hard to make one. A flange, a bend, weld together.

Don't know anything about how to make a elbow, neither does anyone I know. If its too much trouble I will skip it. The Hypergears aren't that much more expensive.

Ok I took a look at the picture of a HKS 2535 elbow and there is not any flange on it.

So all need is a silicon hose bend. Like any other different turbo

Would probably work good enough, just cause its not a GTX doesnt mean its shit... i've seen a HKS2540 on a RB25, which everyone says is shit, but it felt similar to my GT3076, alot is to do with the whole setup too, suspension etc..

Gotta agree with you on this one. I test drove a r33 with a hks 2540 when I was car shopping and it hauled some arse. I couldn't believe this was the same turbo everyone rubbishes. On an sr20 though its a pile of shit. I think this is where the bad rep comes from.
