Yeah it's a typo it's $1963 there is a cost for the internal gate housings as the Twin Scoll external gate version that i was looking at getting only came to $1770 posted. For $1963 you could probably find one here but make sure it's the full 60mm turbine wheel version not the cropped 56.5mm version.

Stao @ Hypergear can do 2871/3071 CHRA-based highflows for factory RB25 turbos .. though if you already have a 2530 probably not an option (unless you still have the old turbo floating around).

They aren't as efficient as the Garrett version with the proper Garrett housings. But you pay the price difference. The HKS Turbine housings are even better again.

hence now i have decided to go with a Garret unit

Just keep the factory one that you have taken off and swap it back. Won't take more than a couple hours on a GTT and after you have done it a couple times you be able to do it in under 90 minutes.

With my car i have a complete stock engine setup so if i get defected with the built engine i'll just swap the whole engine over, a lot easier than taking cam out, swapping injectors, reattaching all the emissions stuff and standard IAA.

Yeah there's a few things you have to do in terms of Transport SA for this to work but i'll discuss this with you in person rather than on a public forum Are you on my FB?

EDIT!!

Just added you

.63 rear housing should see me 300rwkw on 25??? mind you its going to be internal gated

On pump i would say no, My HKS3037.68 was seeing around the 270 mark at 17-18psi. E85 would see you over 300 but you will need 20+psi.

Cams would make a huge difference

I personally wouldn't waste my money on aftermarket cams (they do sound nice tho). I have seen 180or200's car make 430 odd on E85 with stock cams so they cant be that bad a thing.

When you say Huge difference what do you actually mean????10kw?50kw?

they help make more power on less boost. So in a stock engine you can run 300 rwkw without having to push 20+ psi to get there. thats where cams come in handy! its a lot safer on the engine and you get some nice response gains to boot.

with my neo i gainedpower and response EVERYWHERE from fitting a set of drop in cams... and also runs less boost to make same power.

i dont know much first hand about rb cams but r33 rb25 just doesn't pull like a r34 rb25. 34 just has better power over the whole range.. personally i feel 33 cams are lacking. cams are cheapish and more power is always better. ohh and ebay has wicked prices. im soon to be cammed up with adj cam gears awaiting delivery! :(

Have you got before and after graphs? From what i have read on this forum 10rwkw is about all you will gain from drop in cams (Mid range is improved also obviously).....If that is the case i think i will leave my stock cams in and save all the hassles.

the difference that you feel between a stock r33 and r34 has to do with the size difference in turbos rather then cams.

Plus the NEO has the Solid Cams already standard which are from all accounts a much better thing than the 25DET's

I'm constantly hearing how bigger cams give more power and better response...........def more power, but not so sure about the latter.

Unless your upgraded sticks have less duration than stock and subsequently a shorter overlap, your fatter cams will move the power curve higer in the rev range (which = less response)...........but why would anyone upgrade their cams with less duaration just to gain response, seems to defeat the whole purpose of the upgrade cause the stock items then would ultimately produce more power.

Years ago when i was playing around with N/A V8's that was the case with larger cams(average low down but alot better mid-top end grunt). Lets face it 2.5 litres and low down off boost grunt (under 3000rpm) is a moot point anyway.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
