I have a dyno chart on one of my computers somewhere. But seriously, you touched the throttle and it hammered. Any gear at any road speed, well it was insane. When i drive it at the track it was hell quick even short shifting at 5,000rpm as it had so much midrange. You coudl go real fast without reving the ringer or stressing the cooling systems

I have too disagree on keeping the standard turbo and agree with Roy. A HKS 2530 or a GTRS (or something along those lines) when set up properly is just as responsive as the stock one, if not more.

spot on.

Curious about the recommendation of the HKS 2530 - a mate had one on a RB25DET NEO and it seemed to just run out of puff! He then swapped it for a HKS 2540 and the thing pulls like a frieght train with only a FMIC, EBC and exhaust! (running a Stagea computer though).

the area under the graph of the 2530 vs the 2540 proves the loss in bottom end is not worth the extra top end.

im quite aware that an rb25 is not going to stack up at all against the mines rb26, just thought it was a good heading... obviously it was for the responses i have been given.

all im after is a car that has lighting response,well balanced car... wasnt really interested in changing turbo... seems the go though.

thanks for the people with helpfull responses, its all been taking on bored.

cheers james

      Unpeeling the Orange

      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.
