$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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
