I would assume it would be slightly me responsive being ball bearing as opposed to journal (kkr items are journal bearing type are they not?) ...

also aren't the kkr series only oil cooled whereas the HKS item is water and oil cooled??

if I could have my pick I would have anything HKS put on my car over anything else on the market :D

Don't get me wrong, I love the japan stuff, but he already has the bigger KKR. A 2530 won't make the same power. It's considerably smaller. If we're talking a comparable Jap turbo you'd be looking at something the size of a 2840 or a GT30 I would think?

only making around 295rwhp

yes its laggy bout 4500rpm full boost

the car with 2530 on it i took it for a drive last nite, very good low down torque and mid range wheel spins coming on in 2nd but yeah

i dunno wot to do lol

help me!!! some ppl say 2530 2 small for rb25? im only really after 300rwhp would 2530 get me there easy enough?

well the motor has 250,000kms on it and ive been running 19psi thru it for last 6 months

so 300rwhp is pretty much the limits i think and response would be nice my thing is laggy as hell haha its a joke!

obviously you're unhappy with your current lag and you've seen the down low response of the 2530. whats holding you back?

250000kms? wtf juz?

295RWHP@19psi, with fully boost at 4500rpm = VERY SHIT TURBO!!

For a turbo to make full boost at 4500rpm i would expect it to be pretty damn big and make at least 330rwkw (450rwhp)

Kkr's aren't shit ..

however the kkr430 would have been the better option... unless you want to use it for just drags etc. it's not going to get great response with a stock engine,

John Cane runs (drifter) runs a kkr430 on his Rb25det in his laurel and it goes awesome!

Read specs here > otomoto

I had a HKS 2535 which is a little better but I have been in an RB25 with a 2530 on it and there is almost no lag! It was an awsome street car the only downfall it had was that you couldnt push it to redline you were better of shifting at 6 - 6,500 rpm...

I would do it.. it will make about 220 - 230 max but i have seen them run mid 12's in an R33.. PM Robo's on the forum, he had one.

Its not all about rwkw.... from how laggy you have said your turbo is, the 2530 would destroy the kkr setup on the street even if it was making a bit more power.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
