why would u bother slapping such a small turbo on a 25/30 build.

at least go gt30. ~300kw and full boost by 3000 which is amazing response.

Haha he actually means a 2530 turbocharger, not 3 litre with 25 head lol.

I wouldnt pissfart around with a 2860 with adaptors then maybe different lines (im not sure about the lines) Im pretty sure the dump pattern is different too. The adaptors are around $200 anyway, and would look shit. Theres 1100 already, plus custom dump, blah blah....

GO highflow. Looks stock, fits stock, least stuffing around, will make the power your are chasing. Theyre around $1300-1400 mark?

Thanks for all the opinions!

I have been doing some homework since starting this thread and i now see how dumb it is to stuff around with T2 turbo etc etc etc.

i have since purchased a VG30DET single turbo (4V54) with the OP6 turbine housing which i intend to get highflowed to 450hp through Hypergear with the ATR28G3 CHRA as its the most bang for buck optiong i've come accross.

if you only want 220-230rwkw... i had a hypergear, that's been changed for another hypergear. G2 profile, 71 compressor wheel. It's was a special one-off that Stao made, it was mid 220'srwkw (with some other car issues) with stock turbo response. I reckon those specs in an OP6 rear will be exactly what you're after.

I've just switched to a G3, 76 compressor wheel with the OP6 rear housing, and i'm not expecting stock response at all, but hoping for 260'ish.

The first hypergear i had sounds like what you're after, but i think the G3/76 might be a bit big for what you want.

Yea i understand what your saying but i want the headroom for future mods such as injectors, AFM, ECU etc.

how you planning on tuning it at the moment?

i see where you're coming from, but i don't see the need to go so big when you only want 200-230rwkw. Why not get that figure in the most responsive way?

The coolest and quickest street car i have even been in was an R33 with Greddy inlet, baby 256 cams and a HKS 2530. The thing made boost and took off anywhere when you simply looked at the accelerator pedal. It was mighty torquey and punchy. It ran 18psi and made 230rwkws, though it drop back to 15psi up high in the rev range. There is no way i would say the turbo is too small. It hammered along very nicely

haha yea i forgot that i said i was only chasing that power figure.

But now i plan to have it tuned with the factory turbo after i get my new interdooler and boost controller which are on their way. From what i've seen i should make 180ish rwkw on a sensible tune.

Then I'm gonna save the cash to do the highflow, ECU, AFM, injectors, splitfire coilpacks all in one hit and aim for 240-250 rwkw

What exactly do you mean by baby cams? do you know what they were exactly?

Pretty much exactly how i want my street R33 to be like instant, torquey response

what are you getting tuned if you are running a factory ecu?

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
