Here's the plan, in the next 2 months I'll be changing to an aftermarket ecu. Then I'll be on the market for a new turbo. I want 350hp @ wheels, I'd like full boost around 3500. What turbo do you think I should go for? I'll upgrade the fuel pump and put in a nismo fuel regulator if necesary, but I'd like to run on stock internals for sometime, so I need to keep the boost lowish, thinking around 1.2bar max. Most people have been saying the garrett GT30 with an external wastegate. Whats your thoughts?

Muchly appreciated ;)

Clutch is already done, I'm running a 9 puck unit with a 2500pound pressure plate, same unit most of the guys over here in WA use cos we all go to the same guy... Ross @ Perth AutoClutch :) The ecu I go for will run a 3bar map sensor so I dont need a AFM. I have an EBC, as per my signature. I figured the fuel pump would need doing and I might see if a fuel regulator might keep me from buying injectors... but we'll see what happens... how much is the HKS 2835? Isnt the manifold's flange a T28? which means t25 and t3 turbo's only bolt up with an adaptor plate? or so I thought.

rob

the new 2835 pro s has a t3 flange!

i am spending a little more than normal do i dont just end up with a dyno queen thats a pig to drive on the road. I am getting lightened flywheel cam gears etc as well so it will accelerate better rather than just have peak power which is useless of the street unless u r driving on the autobarns in germany. :D

also u will need 550cc min injectors and a 044 bosch fuel pump or u will have problems of pining and other issues like alot of people on here have!

if you want full boost by around 3500 then youll need something smaller than the 2835... as mentioned if you want 350rwhp, full boost by 3500 is a bit optimistic.

im getting a HKS GT2530, for a comfortable 310rwhp (~230rwkw at 1.1bar) i dont see why it wouldnt do 240kw, with more boost (as its been done on a stock RB20 with same turbo)

while the peak power is a bit short of what your looking for, i hear the response and midrange make for a killer street car. Also you can get a decent one 2nd hand from about 1800$ and will bolt straight up. With a RRregulator you can use standard injectors and your internals will easily hold out.

you 'should' be able to make 260rwkw on a 2540 with a real squeeze.

2540 is a shit turbo and would need lots of boost to get 260rwkw.

with the 2530 u will need around 1.3-1.4 bar to get 230rwkw assuming the rest of your system is efficient!

So there crap then.. The 2540's get slightly more power at the same boost levels than the 2530 though.

Still 1.3-1.4bar is a hell of a lot of boost in my book.

How is it that Whatsisnames turbo made 240-257rwkw on 13psi??? And thats a custom turbo.. Makes full boost at 3500-4000rpm and is plain bearing.

On a RB20DET the GT2530 with the right support good FMIC exhaust etc will make 220rwkw on 17psi of boost.

I'm starting to think that aftermarket brand name isn't always better.

2540's will give the higher peak, but for street its all about average power... A slightly lower peak but with a fat midrange is far superior to a laggier peakier turbo. This has been well covered in HPI. And its been shown that a 2530 will be quicker than a 2540 on street.

INASNT, the 2530 will only need 1.1 bar for 230kw on an RB25, as im told SYDNEYKID has seen. And who are we to argue with him? :O

Joel, as far as the brand name not being better, I would tend to agree, but its been written so many times in HPI from experience, that the HKS stuff does its job EXTREMELY well, and people who have gone the cheaper garret stuff are usually dissappointed when shooting for HKS numbers and response. Thats according to M.Donnon's personal experiences....

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
