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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
