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

So yeah tell me what you think...

Cheers,

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

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
