Product Details

The HKS GTIII 2530 Sports Turbine Kit for the RB26 engine features a ball-bearing center cartridge, a design choice that significantly reduces spool time compared to journal bearing turbos. This means you get boost pressure building up faster, leading to a more responsive engine feel and improved acceleration. This kit is built for enthusiasts looking to extract more power from their RB26-powered vehicle, offering a substantial upgrade over stock turbochargers.

Constructed with a durable cast iron turbine housing and a robust compressor housing, this kit is made to withstand the higher temperatures and pressures associated with performance tuning. The 2530 model specifically uses a 44.5mm inducer / 53.0mm exducer compressor wheel and a 49.0mm inducer / 44.5mm exducer turbine wheel, carefully matched to provide a good balance of airflow for both low-end response and top-end power. This setup is ideal for builds aiming for around 500-600 horsepower, depending on supporting modifications.

When installing this kit, be prepared for a comprehensive upgrade. It's designed as a direct replacement for the factory turbocharger setup, but it's crucial to ensure all supporting systems are up to the task. This includes proper fuel delivery, engine management tuning, and potentially upgraded exhaust and intake components to maximize the potential of the GTIII 2530. Remember, this kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
