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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • 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.
