DS2500's are where it's at. Great pad IMO

ill price some up and give them a shot, cheers for a nudge in the right direction.. you've track tested them which means they must stand up to the test

DS2500's are where it's at. Great pad IMO

i'd love to see a few comparisons with the a1rm vs the ds2500 and the project mu's

seems theyre all up the top echelon, but the reviews come from people who havent directly compared the pads against each other

food for thought

-D

Personally I see the A1RM's as an entry level pad. Never tested any of the EBC pads but done the whole Bendix, QFM rigmarole.... Moral of the story I found the DS2500's best compromise for street/track duty. As Andrew said, when cold they aren't the best but as soon as you get a bit of heat in them, you're laughing

i prefer Endless pads - because they don't disintegrate into molten nothing. then again, Dave hasn't had a go at them yet :lol:

im fairly sure we could whack carbon rotors and pads on the s14 and id still turn 'em into nothing. :)

i reckon something with the master cylinder aint quite right.

Some other info would have been nice in this thread, specifically:

What car do you drive?

What is its power output?

What is its weight?

What calipers & discs are you using?

What brake fluid?

Do you have braided lines?

Street or Track or both?

In the R32 GTR (~335rwkW, 1480kg, stock Sumitomo calipers, DBA 4000 rotors, Motul RBF660 with Braided lines) I have used Bendex Ultimates :) , EBC Greenstuff :) & Ferrodo DS2500 :) .

In my mate's R33 GTR (~330rwkW, 1530kg, stock Brembo calipers & DBA 4000 rotors) he has Project Mu (not sure which type but they are track/street ones) which are very noisy when cold but grip really well and his entire brake setup is vastly superior to mine.

In my Peugeot 205 GTI (52fwkW, 900kg, stock calipers & DBA slotted rotors) I use EBC Greenstuff. Because the Pug is so light the Greenstuff is quite good and much better than in the heavier GTR.

I have tracked both my cars at Mallala. The DS2500 do fade a bit after 3 hard laps and after ~8 laps I need to come in as they are literally smoking. However, they have lasted 3 track days so far as well as various hills runs & daily driving and still have plenty of meat left on them.

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
