cost - $1500 fairly firm.

history - i picked it up from jap import spares in adelaide, was freshly rebuilt with zero km's on it. ran it on my rb20 for approx. 5,000km's making 217.5kw/atw @16psi. early december i changed driveline to rb25, which this turbo was bolted onto, as a 'just for now use'. which it is still currently bolted up to. on approx 8-9th of feb it will be removed and available for sale.

reason for sale - have changed to rb25, the 2530 is a bit on the smaller side for what i want to do with the car. i have purchased and picked up a top mounted, externally gated gt3082r so this is the onli reason for sale. this turbo was perfect on my rb20 r32.

location - adelaide (north east).

p/up or delivery - would obviously prefer a local buyer, but if not freight can be arranged at buyers cost.

contact - ben (me) via pm, message here or call or txt me on 0438554500

also just for knowledge, this turbo is currently running on my rb25det, its an extremely responsive option with a full 16psi made at approx 2,200rpm :)

for example i can amply drive around in the adelaide hills (cudley creek etc) and leave in 4/5th gear easily pulling well from 60km/h onwards. but this also is to do with the talk of the rb25.

if your after a low down response monster out of your rb25 then this is the turbo for you.

i am after higher power levels, which is where this turbo will run out of puff... perhaps good for 250kw at the wheels running 20+ psi thro it but being a bb turbo it'll take it.

The 2530 is an awesome turbo Reuben - I have an HKS one on my R34 - couldn't be happier with response and power. It is making a lazy 230rwkw with standard fuel reg, standard injectors, auto trans and an SAFCII tune.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
