fair few people are running them on their RB30s with good results (have a browse of the RB30 dyno thread if you want), so it shouldnt be too small

might be a touch laggier on a 2.5 than on the 3.0l. but it should make 280rwkw fairly easily.

So i wouldnt worry about it being to small, but you might find something that would make 280rwkw and be more responsive (GT30R).

but if its at a good price how can you resist?

I haven't heard of anyone running a .63 housing on an RB30 I reckon that would be choking it up a bit

Lots of people run the .82 or 1.06 housing in the RB30's though I run 1.06

I think the .82 is the perfect housing for a 25, a friend of mine runs one on a stock 25 with 410hp and is a nice balance between lag/response and the same turbo on Noel (Fineline's) car is cracking over 500hp.

If your thinking more along the lines of drift the .63 would probably be quite good as its going to come quicker than the larger housings but at the end of the day there is better turbos out there for your application

GT30 frame is probably what you should be looking into but as Kranker said if the price is good chuck it on, should chirp second :)

I fitted one to an rb26, IMO the exhaust housing chokes it a bit, the car made 320rwkw at 16 psi. a better setup would be a gt3076 with either a .63 or .86 housing.

.82a/r, the only "GT3076Rs" with a .86 are the horrid T25 flanged ones with a trimmed turbine. Yuck.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • 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.
