I was reading a write up on a comparison on the GT2530(I think) and the GT-RS in zoom I think it was, was a very goof read. I'll scan it in and post it if anyone was keen to have a look?

 

The end result was that although the GT-RS lacked a little bit in top end the mid range response was awesome. It was picked over the GT2530 but price is a bit of a turn off.

Could you send me a scan of this article. I'm very interested in the GT-RS turbo but now I wonder.

Thanks

I have been doing some research, and it LOOKS to me based on the comments throughout here on GT2530s etc that a TD05-big 16G from a Mitsubishi EVO3 (and some others) would do a similar job.

I think with many of the turbos designed for 2L 4cyl they would make a noticeable amount less on the RB25.. If you could get it rebuilt to more suitable A/R ratios and the like could be an idea though, esp if you're getting it for dirt cheap.

I have been looking at the GT-RS .. at $2500 for a "full kit" (+ taxes etc) its worth thinking about. I am not sure whether i want massive HP numbers to start with on a stock bottom end, and that looks like it fits the bill.

So consensus is around 240rwkw or so with a nice broad powerband? A dyno graph for rb25 would be very nice to see :)

Thought the gtrs was a bigger turbo - people seem to be getting more power from these than 2835??!!

strictly speaking, 2835 is a 400ps rated turbo, exactly the same as GT-RS.

Its the 2835Pro and 2835R that have the 420ps rating. Hence more power from the 2835Pro's that people such as grepin (287rwkw?) are getting. I think that was at 1.2 bar. So far ive heard a GTRS pull 250rwkw at 1bar, so they arent too far apart.

Hi guys late post.I got this quote from www.horsepowerinabox.com

I can do the GT2535 in the T3 flange internal gated for $1750, but not the

GT2530.

We also do a 500hp core unit with a .70 comp cover for the RB25 as a bolt on

Internal gate for $2150.

Regards

Do any of you know the garret gt2535 turbo's housing specs.Are they the same as HKS?

I also found a link to a site where HKS is compared to garret. clickey

lol dyno was at the wheels of course.........

mods are just the usual bolt ons so far

HKS gt-rs turbo

HKS 550 ccinjectors

greddy plenum

HKS fuel pump

splitfire coils

apexi power fc

HKS silent hiper exhaust

HKS type S intercooler

HKS evc

HKS metal flow

HKS sqv

HKS iridium plugs

few other bits and peices no internals yet so could pull more power easily....

There is a mountain of "garrett" vs "HKS" discussion in this very forum... its amazing

Do You guys know if garrett turbos are rated in ps atw or ate(at the engine)??Likewise with HKS.

pretty much all the turbos I know rate at the engine.. its only rough anyhow.. too many factors can vary it around.

Least you know the HKS is going to come out of the box working :D

NICE:)...all done at BD4s?...i bet Paul loves you:)

SAS have a good name around the traps of not leaning on engines too hard, and dyno figures being on the money...so very nice results with what should be a strong reliable combo:thumbsup:

Last question...what boost is it running to make that power and where is boost pressure being measured?

LOL...if you own an RB25:(

Yeh Paul is a tope bloke, runs a tight ship:thumbsup:...shame he hasnt gone crazy with the R34 yet:(

Yet is the word the big t51r sittin there waitin to go on..i went it for a spin it the other day to see how the shocks went....drooled the whole ride :D

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
