okay guys... there have been a few dances around the subject of this particular turbo....

I have had my car off the road for a little while getting a full rebuild with the following

Engine - RB20 ---> RB2.3

-forged pistons.... yadda yadda..... all new block...

-1.2mm tomei head gasket

-Tuneagent low mount s/s lowmount

-HKS split dump pipe

-Free low straight zorst

-Nismo 555cc injectors

-Z32AFM

-Tomei Poncam 256/256

-Tomei Camgears

-Nismo FPR

Now the turbo i currently have is an HKS 2510..... i want to go bigger down the road as the engine in built for it now.... but on the previous standard engine it used to make 181RWKW on a conservative tune at 1.bar.....

i have witnessed these make 200RWKW before at same or a little more boost.....

ive read that chris32 had made 208RWKW at his highest recording.....

in question if i rung my setup for all its worth i would be able to get 220rwkw on a 2510???

I really wanna see what this thing can do....

i think if that if that figure could be achived i would have a demonically fast street car......

thoughts please......

all comments welcome....

I think if you worry too much about chasing a number you could end up hurting your nice enw engine. Tubn eit up, run 1.3bar in it and it will make whatever power it makes. No doubt it will be quick, whatever the numer is

If you really need 220rwkws get the tuner to use a cup of coffee...or whatevcer it is they do to fudge figures :D

Too small IMO , a HKS 2510 is just a 2530 with with the more spool friendly - and restrictive - GT25/28 turbine . Aside from a few more recent HKS options ie GT-RS much of the HKS Garrett GT turbo range have been around a while .

One of the best all round in its turbine size range is the 2530 IMO . Your call but with what you've done to your RB20 to make it breathe the last thing it needs is a restrictive turbine to choke it up .

My vote goes to an RB specific 2530 .

Cheers A .

I agree with the above that this new engine deserves a bigger turbo.....and i will be leaning towards a GTRS when the time comes......

I just wanted to put to rest the myths that dance around this turbo.... i have always loved the power delivery of this one... and even with 180RWKW that it previously had.... it was so much fun.... max power is never the issue with me.... i just loved the mid range torque it produced.... and regardless of what others have said... it pulled all the way to redline.... never felt like it dropped off....

So...... i figure with all the mods done.... and having an engine that is supposed to be "more efficient" than the turbo... at least we will know what can be expected out of this little snail.....

hmmmmmmmm............ seems i have run into a few little difficulties in preparing the engine.... anyways... i should have the thing back in the car first week after new years... will then run in.... and then off for final tune and detailed results......

well... long story short..... engine not back yet... so further delays.... ive had a little more time to cash up again.... and a new turbo is starting to look good just about now.... should i rebuild my current 2510 with a 2530 or 2535 core?

thoughts please

I guess it boils down to how much power you want and how much you want to spend...personally i recon a 2535 would be awesome for a rb23...and be good to around 220-240rwkw with pretty decent response...

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
