I just picked up my newly rebuilt HKS 25/35 turbo from RacePace, which I destroyed at Calder last weekend. Anyway, the turbo core has been replaced with a brand new item which was quite costly. The old compressor and exhaust housing were the old parts taken from the old turbo so this thing is pretty much brand spanking new. It made 240rwkws (RacePace Dyno) on my car which runs a completely standard engine.

Price = $1800

Brand new these are about $2200 I believe and mine is pretty much brand new, 0ks!

For another $300 I will also thrown in the custom made dump pipe that helped this turbo make its rear wheel figure :D This dump pipe has a separate pipe for the internal wastegate that is typically plumbed back into the exhaust. However, this one does not plumb back making it a screamer pipe, its loud but can be plumbed back in very easily. Here are some videos of the screamer pipe.

Pics added, despite appearances this turbo is brand new (the core), just the exhaust and compressor housings are second hand which does not matter. The build cost $1600 at RacePace Motorsport! The initial cost of the turbo second hand was $1600 so I have spent quite a bit on this sucka.

this is an awsome turbo, got one in my car never been so happy. it comes alive early and kicks in agen bout 5krpm, power just keeps coming till red!!

my car made 234rwks can make more but im running stock injectors, this turbo can easily make 250rwkws.

good luck mate :)

Either it was just its time or I didn’t let it cool down enough. I gave it a few really hot laps at Calder and didn’t give it a good enough cool down period. The HKS turbos are very hardy but when you use them on the track and don’t look after them properly they can break :) The exhaust wheel drooped because I turned it off when it was obviously still way to hot … stupid!

These are the best upgrade from a standard turbo, depending on who you speak to a standard turbo makes about 170rwkw running 11psi off a good tune. The 2535 will boost this to about 240rwkw which is a massive difference :unsure:

MORE33BOOST - 11psi made 240rwkw ... obviously you can go higher.

gtrGhosTDoGG11 - I imagine about $20 for normal post. I can find out for you.

justin911 - will consider it but I think it will sell anyway. sorry!

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
