I never wrote it down, but it was a Garrett tag, not sure of the number though.........When I put my new manifold on, I will take it down and post it up

MM2Death, do you have your ID number? as my turbo looks identical to that

Chris

hey chris,

fyi, as hks basically use garrett turbo parts, the id plates also say Garrett - Allied Signal.

looks will not tell u if they are the same turbo.

specs and measurements will tell u what ur turbo is.

yeah, I understand that

When the turbo comes off to put the new exhaust manifold on, I will take a few pics and measurements and write down what is on the tag :P

seems like 2530 type performance though

Well, found some pics, RS500, what would you identify this turbo as?

MM2Death, does this look like yours? I am 99% sure this is what I have

Chris

The 2530 I saw looked the same apart from the tag.

The 2530 had a HKS tag. It said it was a 2540 but after an inspection from a turbo person he said it had the 2530 exhaust housing so it was essentially a 2530.

Well lifes full of disappointments.

Because we only had 45 minutes to tune my Pfc, i still dont know what sort of mumbo it has. At 8psi it made 186rwkws, so we settled on 205rwkws (at something like 11psi?) and mega conservative tune to make sure the car made it thru the thrashing it copped 12hours later at the track...

So maybe this time next week ill have a dyno printout of the car tuned...i have to say i think im going to be happy with the final result

Chris

My tag looks like that one (Garrett)

Numbers as best as i could make out...

17200-114100

UF 7042J

46701S-0021

Joel,

fyi, both the HKS GT2530 & 2540 actually have the same exhaust wheel and inturn, they run the same A/R .64 exhaust housing.

Although, on thing to note is that the 2540 was only available with a T3 flange (to suit RB20 & RB25) where the 2530 was available with both GT25 & T3 flanges.

tell that to ur turbo person and tell him that he talks :bs!:

Chris,

unfortunately, i can't recognise those numbers nor can i find any reference to those as a garrett item.

sorry i can't be of any help.

Yer I thought the 2540 and 2530 had the same exhaust a/r but he was sure the 2540 had a larger exhaust a/r.

 

This was Bill Keen from ATS on Marion road.

don't care who he is, he doesn't know his HKS turbos.

the 2540 actually has a 'larger' T04S compressor wheel (46T - 51.7/76.2mm) as compared to the smaller T3 comp wheel (63T - 47.7/60.1mm) on the GT2530.

refer to the US HKS website which i provided for you or go to the official HKS japan website and show that to Bill Keen.

The mystery continues..................

JMS mentioned that it may be some type of Nismo turbo, but then settled for either a 2510 or 2530. Dosen't bother me, it makes plenty of power anyway for a bolt on RB20 turbo :) Can't wait to see what it makes with more boost

Chris, it looks like you and I have very similar turbos.  Those pics you attached were your turbo on your car right?

Cheers,

Scott

The pictures I have aren't digital, but are EXACTLY the same as the pics I have posted, I grabbed them of the net.

Looks like we have the same mystery turbo................seems to do a good job too :) We both make near identical power too, which would make me think they are the same

hey does anyone know if a GTR turbo is a straight bolt on? I'm going for cheap upgrades, and don't really want big hp - modding for response.

Is the GTR turbo a good option or just a waste of money? (ie. will it be too laggy?)

no flange is T25 not T3

anyhow, a single GTR turbo is similar to what they run on S13's etc, so no better than a stock 32 turbo

If you are after responce, why not try a R33 GTS25T turbo, they can be had pretty cheap, and would give good response and enough top end to make around 175-185rwkw, which is good power

Yep and just use the RB20 wastegate actuator for its higher boost setting. :D

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
