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.

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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
