If you get something like the hks kit youwould get the whole lot to convert right down to bolts and nuts and hoseclaps, what wereyou lokkingat the kit or just the turbo? al tho the turbo should be a direct replacement but i carn remember if they use braided oil and waterlines or keepstock ones.

But a 2530 is not reallyany bigger than stock a 2540 would be a nice

alternative ,what sort of power are you chassing.

Cheers:)

ive updated to a 2530 on my 33.. i got a complete kit from HKS, along with the turbo i got water/oil flex lines, washers, bolts, nuts, hoses, clamps etc. the turbo is bolt on and quiet easy to install.. the only problem i had was a water hose behind the engine which i couldnt get to, so i had to take off my left tapper cover to reach it..

even though the 2530 isnt much bigger then the stock turbo, ive noticed a quicker on boost response, and able to boost it over 16psi nicely.. with a fuel pump, ecu, injectors and the rest of the supporting intake mods, you could push them to 260rwkw+.

260rwkw i doubt it, however you will notice alot more midrange power

well im on 232rwkw atm, thats with a stocker fuel pump and injectors and SAFC II.. the reason i couldnt push it anymore was cause of my fuel pump maxing out.. im hoping for another 20-30rwkw with a fuel pump, injectors and PFC..

Im not going to get into any dyno fights but i think your dyno is reading high. I reached my limit around the 200rwkw with the fuel pump. SAFC 2 is only a bandaid fix, you need a PFC for a nice smooth graph line, i tried the SAFC, was nice until i changed turbos and bigger boost. You will also need a Z32 AFM and Fuel Regulator. I was reaching nearly max with the 2530. Anyway , should be good for a mid 12 1/4.

lol.. well im not gonna get into a dyno war neither dude, but i never said i got that figure just with SAFC II, as i have other supporting mods.. and Autotech in fyshwick, ACT is a preferred dyno shop, i doubt there dynos would be off as it gets quiet a lot of satisfied customers..

also this business with maxing out the fuel pump at 200rwkw, this may happen with the stock ECU and no tune of the AFRs, but mine is reducing 11% fuel @ 6000rpm, keeping the fuel pump from maxing out..

the stock AFM is a problem ive noticed, as i cant boost it over 16psi..

I dare say you will struggle to make anymore then you have, but if you do ill be impressed! I had a 2530Kai which only made about 212rwkw @ 1.2bar. I was running Z32 AFM, Nismo fuel pump, splitfire coil packs, Nismo 555cc injectors, pfc etc etc. I even dropped the exhaust which only made a few kw more.

I've driven James' RB25 Cefiro which has the 2835 Pro-S on it - all I can say is it tears balls. It's not very laggy, but the mid range and top end is massive. MKDR33 - Either your guy's dyno figures are bullshit, or it's your hectic chrome wheels adding that extra 30kw, because I doubt your car is putting out that much power in reality, especially with a stock fuel pump.

Go a HKS GT2835 pro s, upto 300 with supporting mods.

definitely the turbo of choice for a RB25 ;)

The HKS GTR-S is suppossed to be a very good setup.

Interloper has had alot of success with a new one on his R32 RB20 GTS-4. Suppossed to be good for over 250rwkws with supporting mods etc.

hey i get a mention :)

but yeah, for the RB20 the GTRS is the best choice, i'm certainly happy with mine :)

i was looking to make around 260rwkw i wan a turbo with good midrange thats y i was looking at a turbo that size so what would be the best turbo kit to go for that would give the best midrange i was going to just by the turbo i thought it would bolt straight up, so its better to just buy the kit?

2835 Pro S is what you want. Awesome turbo, best all round for the RB25 imo, and I've seen both side by side and the difference on the same car. BIIIIIIG difference in power and not much lag either.

not sure dude, maybe i will get it dynoed at a different place or maybe its cuz im in canberra and we are 600m above sea level and the BP levels are different to other places? who knows.. my whole exhaust system is changed aswell, from the head (exhaust manifold) to the cat back..

i got no reason to post bullshit on here.. its a surprising result for me too.. in all honesty, i havnt checked to see if the fuel pump is stock, ive had the car for over a year now and dont know if it has an aftermaket fuel pump or not, never have checked, as for the AFM, i know its stock.. here are my dyno results with stock turbo and 2530kai..

and as for the chrome wheel joke, f*k i killed myself laughing..

p.s. both dynos are done with stock 17" rims..

Might be a good idea to get it dynoed at a different place but if your happy it shouldnt make a difference. When I had my 2530Kai I used stock manifold but then again I had everything else and my exhaust had absolutely no restrictions.

autotech has a really reliable dyno it actually reads lower than alot around here in canberra it seems to be pretty accurate if you can call a dyno that lol and peter dowling is the shiz nit >_< that where i get all my work done

agreed slither.. ive been refered to Pete, and i get all my dyno tuning done with him.. quality service for your money.. but some ppl on here (d0p3y) are doubting it, which is quite sad..

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day  
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
    • Are you 100% sure this isn't tune related?
    • 140-150 across the board. At this point hoping the grounding harness fixes it. My grounds are all tied to the chassis and none to the battery. For SR and KA that’s never been a problem for me but had a few other guys here and Reddit who told me RB really like a very solid ground setup tied to the battery so going to try that next, I’m stumped if that doesn’t do it. Never had a car have spark and fuel and not fire off before. Only thing I can think is the spark is intermittent/weak because of grounds nothing else really makes sense at this point 
    • I am having close to the same issue. Can you help me with what wire you grounded to get your pump to trigger?
