$2400 seems like a lot for a hiflow rebuild when you can get a brand newy for less.

but do these bolt on without having to redo water and oil lines?

They aint that expensive if you buy direct from japan.

U can get the new hks 2835 pro s internal gated with the T3 flange for $3100 from japan. I been trying to get ifo if it will fit in the stock location even tho its the T3 flange coz of the size of the housing on it. I just got the quote a few days ago from greenline.

How do you go about ordering a HKS turbo directly from Japan?

Those r easy to get new not easy to find secondhand

RS500

I got my pfc from nengun and getting my profec b spec II (1 of the first in aus) from greenline.

And Hikari was formed by a bunch of guys from perth and is a sponsor of Performance Forums.

I'm using a GCG T3/4 turbo at the moment.

By all accounts, on an RB25 with the right management and other bolt ons you should be able to make 250rwkw. You may find that you'll be maxing out a few of the components such as the AFM and the injectors but that's just part of the game when you push the power up I guess.

Unfortunately, this turbo on an RB20 is a problem and I've got a surging problem now. But on the RB20, with bolt ons and chip it makes 200rwkw at 1.1bar. I really do think that the housings are a bit on the small side when looking at it from a performance aspect but that's only an opinion.

I'm growing more towards a HKS GT25/30 every day but upart from the cost of the turbo itself, I'm concerned about what else has to be done to fit it to an RB20 and how much it'll all cost. I can't get an honest and straight answer anywhere.

Joel, would that be JMS? Terry is en route to Japan and promises to bring back HKS 2530's and 2535's plus bigger stuff! :D

Its the southern 'Performance Center' ;)

I couldn't really hear properly as another car was being dyno'd I also heard something about a bolt on TO4 but I am most probably wrong.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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!
