RS500 Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 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 upMM2Death, 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.

Chris32 Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Well, found some pics, RS500, what would you identify this turbo as? MM2Death, does this look like yours?

Cubes Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 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.

Roy Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/48370-what-aftermarket-turbo-are-you-running-on-your-rb20det/page/4/#findComment-989033 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 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. http://www.hksusa.com/products/?id=706 tell that to ur turbo person and tell him that he talks :bs!: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/48370-what-aftermarket-turbo-are-you-running-on-your-rb20det/page/4/#findComment-989512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubes Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 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. http://www.hks-power.co.jp Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/48370-what-aftermarket-turbo-are-you-running-on-your-rb20det/page/4/#findComment-989522 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/48370-what-aftermarket-turbo-are-you-running-on-your-rb20det/page/4/#findComment-989576 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CerealKiller Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 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?)

Chris32 Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/48370-what-aftermarket-turbo-are-you-running-on-your-rb20det/page/4/#findComment-990122 Share on other sites More sharing options...
