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!

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
