well even for interest sakes I'd like to see this go ahead. I can see where slide is coming from in terms of the differences in the turbos but purely from a price perspective it will be interesting to see just how much difference there is in performance for your money. Cheers

R33 gtst series 1 pic of top bonnet?

nice, thanks for that. Does your distributor have any dyno graphs on the kkr 430 on a RB25? I know there is a larger model which is better suited for more power but it's a bit laggy from what i've seen. I've been trying to find a graph of a kkr430 on a RB25 for a while but with no luck. Cheers, James

These need modifications to oil lines and a different manifold too though yeah? ends up being more like $1500 by the time you're finished.

interested to know also. Looks like a good cheap mod.

got comprehensive insurance? If not, put it towards that

got results?

awww i thought that post was going to be the result

I hear that, would love to do the same. I just want something semi luxury that is good to cruise in.

I would be interested to see the costs too if you don't mind I'd be interested in a conversion like this if my RB25 fails and it was a cheaper alternative. Well Done, James

hmmm, it looks ok. I'm not a fan of the rear guards

just wondering where you got your new bar from? Is it a good quality fit and how much did it cost you? Cheers, James

Well I guess the only people who will know how long they are lasting is slide and people who own them. I don't think anyway can guarentee the life span of a turbo but I havn't read anything that would suggest these turbos only last 60000 kms. Sure some people have pointed out that BB turbos are superior but a few people have stated they havn't had any problems with this turbo either. I'm guessing the whole reason the person started this thread was to find out these sort of questions but I'm sure it wasn't meant to be a GCG vs slideperformance or BB Vs Journal thread.

Totally agree with the above statement. This thread is about trying to find people WITH this turbo and their opinions on it. I'm pretty sure you don't have this turbo Paul so how is it your place to say if it's good or not. Sure BB turbos are superior but that isn't the topic of the thread. The people mainly drawn here would be people without the budget to buy a BB turbo. For under $1k and with 12 months warranty this turbo seems perfect for someone who wants improved performance over stock and doesn't want to spend 2k on a turbo alone.

spewing, I take it you've already sold your 2530?

Got a dyno satanic? would be interested to see what sort of increase you got on average power.

Benhpi, Do you have the graph of the 230rwkw run for the RB25 with the 430? I'm interested in getting a turbo that give me around that mark of power so that I don't have to go spending big bucks on injectors AFMs full engine management (i have SAFC II). The other option I've been looking at is a HKS 2530 and they seem to be getting people into the 12.5sec 1/4 region with about 230-240rwkw.

if it's laggy as sin on your rb20 cat I'll swap ya my r33 turbo

I reckon!!! I just checked out a s1 R33 and the front bar alone was $1500!

http://image-cache.skylinesaustralia.com/f...-1130487028.jpg That is a link to a 2530 dyno sheet in the rb25det thread. From what I could see there 2 people had them and both were running around 230-240rwkw and doing 12.5sec quarters

hmmmm.... .... ... .. . ?

Geez i hate people like this. I saw a bogan in a kingswood last night totally harrassing a P Plater. Going up the inside on a normal one lane street, overtaking in a 60 zone where the p plater was doing 60. He pulled in front of the p plater and slammed his brakes on. Luckily the p plater had time to brake but what a f**kwitt. I felt like catching up and belting some sense into the bogan. He was mid 30s to i reckon so you;d think he'd have some common sense. Preety frustrating having to witness shit like that knowing you can't do anything about it.

Pretty sure I saw you pulling out of the domain last night greebo? Looked the goods mate. NAME: James JOB: IT admin @ Rosny College LOCATION: Hobart CAR: 1993 R33 GTST Wine Red MODS: SAFC II (Dr Drift tuned), Turbotech boost controller, 3" turbo back exhaust, FMIC, Bosch 040 pump. Made 152RWKW @ 9PSI in non-shootout mode. Any more boost or timing and the car was missing. suspect coils or need to regap the plugs. Hopefully by the time 98RON is here I'll have sorted out the issues and can get a retune @ 12PSI.

will these fit a gtst?

bwhahaha that is teh funneh. I'd love to see the gtr you speak of vs this beast. By the sounds of things you and your mate need to be brought back to earth.
