hey guys just wondering if this turbo would reach my goal of 300rwp, with some form of response, i have pretty much all supporting mods bar engine internals, what sort of boost would it need to run to make it if it will? and rpm limit, would it need to be raised? < not a fan of. p.s ive used the search function and read through all the rb20 turbo upgrade thread, i just want personal opinions.

from what i have read the 2510 won't get you there, but a 2530 will

BUT

i own and drive an rb20 everyday and i personally know how it feels to have no low-rpm torque. saying that, i think the 2510 would be one of the best turbo's on the market to maximise the top end without compromising any bottom end at all...

so my 2c is that it might not reach 300rwhp but it will almost get you there but with an awesome midrange that you'll use 300times more often that the top end

cheers,

Warren

I have a 2510 on my rb25, it's rated 300 hp @ the flywheel but I can live with that because the response is just AWESOME!

Small bb turbo is the sh*t when you want to outrun those cocky BMW's :D

Do it. I've seen them squeeze out 220 on cammed SR's. Even if you only get a couple of hundred the bottom end and midrange improvement will be well worth it.

I almost bought one 4 years ago, got a highflow instead. I regretted not getting it right up until the rb25 went in.

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
