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..

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
