[fast_s14]

[l0nestar]

Mmmm.... HKS goodness.. Can't wait to see / hear them! Wish I could see it in person!

[gawdzilla]

congrats. it's a fun setup.. had it about 2 years ago.

the front turndown (i think the shorter one) needs to be cut if you want to retain any kind of flow. heres what it looks like before cutting. right on top of the steering column: http://i8.photobucket.com/albu...e.jpg

after cutting off the flange and extending it:http://i8.photobucket.com/albu...0.jpgh ... bu...s.jpg

yea, lot of work if you want to keep the front turbo from choking

[StricNyne]

doing same exact thing for my swap

[BoostFab]

using vband on the downpipe will save you a lot of hassles

i know that you went to a big single setup, do you still have that front turndown and downpipe that you can sell to me??? let me know email me at [email protected]

[gawdzilla]

sorry the setup is long gone. just providing pics to give you an idea

[ItzGenX]

HxC, how are your twins plumbed right now (what downpipe etc) to make them fit? Couldn't you just use the exact setup you have right now, but just replace the two stocker turbos with those hks snails? They are "stock style" replacements like the gt2860r -5/7 right?

they are direct oem replacements and i use a mckinney downpipe currently but i really wanting to go with the same design as gawdzilla.

[WhatsADSM]

Great turbo selection!

Please keep us posted on how if goes for you. Should be a beast once you are done.

And just as BoostFab mentioned. I would definately v-band it while its out.

[HxC_Nismo]

heres a comparison between my stock turbo and my new hks gt2530

[arauz]

is your RB an R34 RB26. I noticed since your stock turbos say garrett on them. If So wanna sell

I'm gonna eventually be upgrading my twins to something nice but looking for a small gain over the r33 turbos.

Nice upgrade you have going btw. thats definitely gonna make someone cry

name a nissan series turbo that did not say garret in this picture.

...

as for the gt2530's you will enjoy them, they been pushed as far as 600 hp, very middle boost threshold, so will see the boost spike sooner during the rpms.

no this one is off my friends r32 and its significant other blew out the ceramic fins. my r33 turbos off my car have no shaft play and no white smoke and those are up for sale, and they never seen boost past 15psi.

Sorry dude, RB25's are the ones that say nissan on them. Just noticed mine say garret, shame on me

[raremotive]

np, just trying to halt the misconceptions.

[HxC_Nismo]

also the 300zx tt turbos say nissan on them also

[HxC_Nismo]

well i pulled off my stock turbos today and since this is a LHD 240sx its a bit of a challenge but i was able to get it all removed in about 4 and half hours.







front turbo off now the rear



now the rear are off



here are both turbos off (wich are now for sale, still no shaft play or smoke and there R33 turbos)

[HxC_Nismo]

well since today is nice an cool here in mid missouri im going to be intalling the hks turbos today and ill post more pics. i should also be getting my red powder for powder coating my valve covers and i ordered my r34 coil cover badge from rhdjapan.com and my apexi djetro intakes from nengun.com. and im going to go ahead and do the fuel pump relay wire upgrade, and i should hopefully hit 500rwhp when i tune here in a couple of weeks.

[HxC_Nismo]

well there installed, and ill tell you its not fun to do in a lhd car but its possible just time consuming, i still need to powder coat my valve covers and my apexi djetro intakes wont be here from japan until aug 18. wich sucks but its better to buy new then overpriced used on ebay.i didnt take any pic during the install but i will post pics of it all installed and i cant wait to tune it and drive it.

[rbs14kouki]

any update ???

[StricNyne]

lol i have taking the turbos off down to an art now lol i pulled mine like 10x times but than again i dont have the pain in the *** oem lines either

[HxC_Nismo]

well the turbos are in and i just took it out last night for the first time and WOW what a difference. it took me long cause of powdercoating the engine covers but once you see it, it was well worth the wait lol.here are some pics of the turbos on.





there are more pics on my other threadhttp://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=357214

[StricNyne]

what u gunna sell stockers for ? i dont really need but wouldnt mind a back up

[HxC_Nismo]

$400 + shipping for both turbos with dump pipes

[Darius]

Hans - It is crazy how stock the RB26 looks even though it will be pushing over 500hp. I love the wheels too!

[cdorhout]

+2 on the wheels. Looks good Hans.What are you gonna do with those Z32 wheels and Drag radials? Consider donating them to somebody in Iowa who can't hook up? LOL
