oh forgot to mention im on a budget here. Im dreaming if i think someone would swap a 2530 for mine aren't i?

Well its not "that" much more expensive than a hi-flow ($1700) or any other Garrett BB off shelf

second hand hks gt2530 can be had for $1000 to $1500

edit:

this one is brand new (O/H) 1.4k plus shipping so around 1.8k to your door

second hand ones are much cheaper

Michael thats actually a HKS GT2535 .

If you can find a cheap dead GT2530 (RB type) or a spare exhaust housing thats all it takes to bolt a GT2860RS on an RB six . GT2860RS/GT2530 are very similar compressor wise with the RS being the more modern of the two , both use the same identical turbine .

I'm with Nismoid , off the shelf a GT2530 is difficult to beat on a 2L six .

Cheers A .

same same, i posted the wrong link sorry lol

Try a MR Turbo Australia / Billet Turbochargers dealer.

There are many options available from bolt on ball bearing high flows to full Billet Turbochargers up grades.

Whats with the advertisement and no technical advice.

This is a technical thread after all :P

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
