It was either keir wilson or some other regular drag racer that compared twin 2540's on a rb26 and it was laggy as hell compared to a the twin 2530 setup. As for my GT30 against the 2540 my GT30 is just getting into its efficiency zone while the 2540 will be running out of puff in singlle forum. But whatever floats ur boat, and for $1600 yes its a good buy!!

LOL...forget twins on a 2.6L, its a single in a 2.5L:)

As for effeciency range, i agree, but at the end of the day you only run with the power you think you can safely handle with a std engine. Most ppl agree its around 250rwkws if you are ringing its neck at the track, up to 300rwkws for a street driven car.

So two cars with std internals, both making around 250rwkws, you can make more, sure, but ...

this is interesting, i have heard nothing but bad reports about the 2540 and all reports hint towards the lag factor for a turbo that is only a mild bolt on being too much. But then again there are ways to improve response. I think it does come down to personal preferances at the end of the day. One may chose a hks item and one may chose a trust, may have identical setups but the driving characteristics that each individual wants are different hence the difference in choice of turbocharger/setup.

The 2535,30 hks turbos rock all over the 2540hks as a street turbo.Buty im with you guys if you like it and it is at the right price buy it for sure.

As shown on these dynos results by hks HKS Dyno Graphs

Hks 2540

Power (PS)(2=squared)=340

BB?=yes

Trim=46

Comp Inducer (mm)=51.7

Comp Exducer (mm)=76.2

Trim=76

Turbine Inducer (mm)=53.8

Turbine Exducer (mm)=47

Housing A/R8=0.64

I put my car on the dyno last night. This is the result i got with the 2540 installed 209.5kW at the rear.

The car has 3" exhuast from turbo back, front mount, stock ecu and 12psi of boost.

Planning to get fuel pump, injectors and tune pfc later.

Hey dvs80r throw this one in the ''RB25 turbo ugrade, ALL DYNO RESULTS'' thread.The more the merrier (Merry,merry'er,merrier cant spell).

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
