A 2530 isnt all that different to the std turbo. (yes i know it will make a bit more power, and probably come on a little harder then std as well...but in the world of turbo upgrades it is pretty close to what the std turbo will do)

Thats not to say its a bad choice. Just that i would perhaps think twice about throwing $900 cams at en engine using a turbo as small as the 2530.

That said a friends R33 use to use a 2530, it had baby cams and a greddy manifold and it was still the best, and probably one of the quickest street cars i have been in...it was also damn quick as the track the couple fo times he was good enough to swap keys with me.

C'mon Troy!

A 2530 is heaps different to a standard turbo. Just cos you can find someone with a stock turbo making 200rwkw and someone else with a 2530 making 220rwkw doesn't mean that the second guy wont shit all over the first. We've all seen 2530 powered cars beating much higher peak powered cars.

Sorry, i didnt really make myself clear. What i was getting at was perhaps you should think twice about using cams with a 2530.

I would highly rate the 2530 on the RB25. Like i said a friends old engine ran that setup and it was a briliant street car and very quick on the track.

What i was alluding to with regards to the size of it and the size of the std turbo is...ppl have shown that cams on a std turbo engine doesnt really do much at all. So was just cautioning that with a little 320hp turbo slapped onto the side of the RB25, cams may not give you the result you hope for...

As for 2530 on RB25...just make sure you have good tyres and suspension because they come on hard, and do everything you can to open up the exhaust as they tend to dropa few psi up high in the rev range

Ahh, that's a fair enough comment and may be true. I don't know anyone with a 2530 and cams but perhaps the higher boost capabilities would make them worthwhile where they are not with a stock turbo due to the boost restrictions imposed by it's fragility.

If looking at highflows check out some of the threads on them where we discuss the R34 and VG30 exhaust housings and how they are bigger making a highflow one of those better than a highflowed R33 turbo.

But that requires new manifold, an external wastegate...a hell of a lot of attention and expense for insulation of it and protection of all the engine bay ancillaries. Not saying its a bad choise, but a bit overkill for the power he is after .

Are you talking about the KKK or Garrett, cause the GT3071R needs no mods like that.... compariable to the HKS GTRS

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
