a mate has got a new t04e for sale what kw would u see with that

Don't even bother wasting your time with such an old school turbo.

As said by others, depending on what power you exactly want you have a few choices for the max "safe" power out of a stock internal RB25. IMO opinion there are three great commonly available turbo's to choose from for the sort of thing you seem to want. GTRS, 2835, 3037 Obviously there are others like APEXI, TRUST etc but are a bit hard to find through a shop or second hand. But anything equivalent to these is what you want.

Anything smaller and your not really "pushing" the motor for max power and anything bigger is starting to get a bit laggy for power levels that may hurt the motor. All a bit of a gamble really :)

what would be best one out of the 3

price and power

just price

just power

a gt2871r is the turbo that hks use to make the GT-RS

same same, but hks modify the housing for better spool, T3 flange'ness and bolt-on oil + water lines

a gt2871r is the turbo that hks use to make the GT-RS

same same, but hks modify the housing for better spool, T3 flange'ness and bolt-on oil + water lines

so its only oil cooled

what would a good second hand gt2871r be worth

aslo the hsk gt-rs what would be a good price for each

The GT-RS is oil and water cooled.

I bought my GT-RS off of nengun a couple of years ago for $2500 delivered. Obviously the 2835 and 3037 were dearer in HKS. However the Garrett equivalents are a lot more cheaper. What do you want? The most power you can get safely? Then go the 3037. Or do you want the most responsive with still good power? Then go the GT-RS. If you want something inbetween go the 2835, simple as that ;)

See what one you can get for a good price new or second hand.

i can get a hsk 2535 with dump pipe and custom oil and water lines for 1400

or a gtrs for 1000

what is a better turbo what do u think of prices

250kw out of a 2535? I don't think so. My mates just makes 230rwkw on a RB25.

The 2535 is too small as an "upgrade turbo" on a RB25 and it aint worth the hassell to do all the installation and other mods required (fuel system etc) when your just going to want to want more power a couple of weeks later.

He said he wants the max power out of a stock motor RB25, which i take as anywhere between 260-300ish kw. The 2535 is not going to make those goals no matter what.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
