well it has a stock wastegate. well you can but you need to probably run an exhaust and pod to make the full potential of the turbo.

again its upto you to put extra mods to get more power (injectors, ecu, fuel pump, boost controller)

well you can put it on either rb20 or rb25

and the 2530 is the least laggy out if the hks gt series

I have a HKS GT2530 turbo to suit RB20, RB25 and SR20

Mr Rb20 they are a great turbo for an RB20. But be sure it is a T3 not T25 flange.

The same turbo cannot fit an SR20 and RB series engine as they have different exhaust flanges.

Forgetting the very latest HKS turbos the HKS GT2510 is the smallest, but typically the 2530 is seen to be the better option.

Oh and it uses an internal wastegate.

Do a search, plenty of happy RB owners using 2530s with stock injectors and re-written ECUs.

read the last page of thre thread, some RB25 owners weigh in on the conversation.

I have been in a RB25 witha 2530, and i sure dont think its "too small".. its very responsive and can give up to a 50rwkw improvement over std turbo. A great turbo.

from my understand the sr20's and rb (20 and 25) are changable

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
