from my understanding a Gt ss is just like a stock replacement turbo ie base model hks turbo the gtr-s would be interesting as its supposed to have the responce of a 2530 but top end is equal or greater to a 2540 so if you can afford one go for it. I'd say you should go for a ride in 32 or ceffy with a 2530 and see if you like the responce of it I know I was shocked how laggy mine felt with a 2530 after hearing how non laggy these turbos are.

yeah i don't know anyone with a 2530. so you recon a gt RS turbo would be better than a 2530? its gona cost me 3k to get a brand new one installed (the GT RS

we have twin 2530's on our GTR.....yet to see a GT RS powered car come even close to our power levels. Dont be fooled by the marketing ploy of HKS...the 2530 is the best small turbo they have ever produced.....Why do you think MINES run them on their curcuit R34.

I can assure you an Rb20 would make a boatload more power with a GTRS turbine than it would with a 2530.

Huh... you are basing feedback from a twin GTR setup to a single on an RB20....im keen to see what a GT-RS can do on an RB20...but no Rb20 owners have come up with the coin yet so the masses wait patiently

I imagine a GT-SS would be very similar to the 2510, so can make a pretty solid 200rwkws at 1.1-1.2bar

The GT-RS seems to make 250rwkws on RB25s, its yet to be seen if on an RB20 they make the same numbers with the same boost. Im gueesing it can make 240-250rwkws , but may need 1.3bar to do so, and may only make that sort of boost at around 4,500rpm....

The above is just pub talk...so just some guessing looking at what other cars are doing with these turbos

so it may be better to stick with GT SS so i don't ahve to run so much boost as it is a standard engine with front mount exhaust filter fuel pump, i will get injector and tune wafter when i can afford it but engine is gona stay standard for a long while

I'd just buy a Garrett turbo something close to 2530 or 2510 if I was going to go new and sticking with the auto trans should cost you under $2,000 easy no need to spend 3,000 on a gtr-s if you will be happy with 220 ish

I don't know how the SR20 compares to the RB20 as far as power output goes, but I currently have an HKS GT-RS turbo on my SR20 making 250rwkw. Boost is 1.2bar, 260/12mm cams, PowerFC D-Jetro, port and polished head, 1.1mm headgasket for 8.8:1 compression.

i got quote 2700 to suply and fit a 2530 Garret turbo brand new. for the extra money i would rather go for the gtrs due to the workshop is more know that will do it for 3k.

Unless i can find a garret install for more like 2000 no ones seems to want to give me a price and if they do they recon you need lots of custom stuff. like manifold etc which doesn't make sense. (i figure they don't know wat they are on about)

a mate has a HKS GTRS that has been fully rebuild, and done in japan not here. never been on an engine since rebuild, it basically brand new. hes only after $2400

contact horse power in a box he has them (bolton Garrett turbos for rb20) for around $1890 and fit it your self you big girlie girl he he jk if I can fit a 2530 you can fit a bolt on turbo trust $1100 is a lot of money for something you can do yourself.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
