HKS GT-SS or HKS GT2530 are the two main options at this price range. it will be tight to do it within your $5K budget but not impossible.

either of the two are proven performers @ 300awkw.

Your going to struggle to make that power with that amount spent.if you want 300awkw you will need.

power FC

at least 550cc injectors

some adjustable cam gears

GT-RS turbos

and a big fuel pump.

and then when you want more get a set of 270 tomei cams and some valve springs and more boost.

sorry i should have said that yes both turbo's GT-SS and 2530's can both crack big power but the GT-RS turbos will get you to that power quicker.

we've seen 367awkw with our GT-SS turbo and i know of someone who makes over 400awkw with 2530's.

GT-RS turbo's kick in like a big single,sounds mad on the dyno.

You should check out the trust bolt on turbos, they would fit your price range better as they are only oil cooled like the standard turbos. I think a pair of the T518Z can flow 700hp. As they dont need water lines made up they are cheaper to fit.

Trust say all sorts of fancy things about the comp housings on them, about being specifically designed for the gtr for good responce and so on.

Another bonus for your budget is that you are forced to run blended(cheaper) dump pipes allowing you to perhaps spend more on some nice front pipes i dont know.

The dude from willall racing rates them or something, im really singing his song.

zzz time

Standard GTR turbines ARE water cooled.

5K will get your turbo kit including fitting, but not much else. Budget another couple of grand for and ECU and injectors at least.

In my opinion, if you are going to get 2530s, you might as well go for GTRSs...as they are much more modern, make power easier and aren't much laggier at all. I don't think 2530s are available anymore anyway.

Otherwise, if you really want low down power, get GTSSs.

Apparently, another good option are Tomei Turbines, but no one knows much about them our here.

N1s are another good option, but you have to be careful, as there are quite a few different types.

2530's are still available but being replaced by the 2530KAI.

GT-SS will make 300rwkw no problem, no need to go for GT-RS which are not popular for a street car anyway. GT-SS will give you an excellent and responsive package for a reasonable price.

looking for advice on replacement turbo's on RB26DETT. I have 5K budgeted including labour, will this get me a decent upgrade? Im aiming for 300 rwkw and nice fat torque down low. Cheers all :)

the two best i have seen going aroud

R34 N1 Ball bearing

HKS 2530

both about the same size in hp

and if i was to try and spell the differences, in my opinion the R34 N1 work better at the lower boost (comes on a little quicker)1.3 to 1.5bar BUT the 2530 has more potental for high boost 1.7bar onwards

summary for every day driving is the better option and to go out and out high boost 2530, thats only in my opinion and i am happily run 530rwhp out of my 320hp garrets at 20psi

pete

so who can spell out which R34 N1 turbos are the "gun" 320hp variety.... Im after the serial number so I can plot my way through this maze of 34 N1 turbos (last count there are 4 types!)

williamsf1 I'm taking my turbos off very soon to fit new stainless manifolds will send you the model number then :)

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
