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

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
