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!

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
