hey guys just on the same topic i was wondering how these turbos that u r talking about (same as pnblight) how do they compare to hks 2530s in max power and response?

i hear people saying 500hp at wheels is too much for these turbos, but only pnblights freak gtr :) has got the higher figure.  

im trying to decide between these turbos, hks 2530s, single t04z, single garret GT35/40R for my stock capacity rb26 wanting response as most importance and capable of abit over 500hp at wheels with suitable other parts which i have already ;)

any info/comments most welcome

thanks guys

the gt2560r and hks 2530 are both rated at 320hp both 0.60ar compressor and 0.64ar turbine and compressor wheel design is the only really difference, so there should very little reason the gt2560r and hks 2530 wouldn't produce similar bhp and from what mine and ricks gtr produce it looks to prove rule in the real world.

mine 529.4rwhp 20psi ulimate 98 (gt2560r) 11.3 sec 1/4 mile

ricks ~550rwhp 25psi c16 race fuel (hks 2530) from memory 11.5 1/4 mile

by the look of that pnblight the 2560R's make more power than the 2530's seeing as thats 5 psi more and race fuel compared to pump fuel.. try run yours on race fuel and run 25psi :) see wat you pull out of them..

i was thinking twin 350 Garrets for my 26 seeing as they are only just slighterly bigger than the 320 34 N1's i imagine there would be stuff all difference in lag depending on setup

Dude which turbos are you think of as i would becarefull as the gt2560r as a special design as by just grabbing any all garret you may not get the result you wish for (ie the difference between the hks 2530/2540 would seem little) but the 2540 are not a good turbo in terms of responce on a gtr.

yeah sound good in theory BUT i stop tuning awhile ago for one very important reason STD internals when we made 500rwhp so easily and had really had that as a goal (I was actually aiming 450 believe it or not) I then decided not to go any further until I do a forged internal build up, so maybe later this year or early next year i may turn up the wick and see what is really possible from this combo.

Guys can I just clarify a few points from this thread?

- The GT2560-R is closer in specs to a HKS 2530 than a N1 turbo?

- The HP supported by these turbos is 320 or 350 each?

- These turbo's are a direct replacement of the standard GTR turbo

Lastly, what is approximate retail price on these turbos?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • 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.
