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).

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
