OK, I dont really know sh*t about turbos :-} but have been reading recient posts to try to build up my Knowledge.

From what i have read the GT2530 is a good responsive turbo that can make about 250rwkw.

My current perf mods are:

3' turbo back zaust,

zaust cam gear,

cold air box with pod,

FMIC,

PFC Pro,

ceramic button clutch,

supra twin turbo fuel pump jap spec (was told that they flow better than GTR ones by far, maybe somebody can varify that?)

NGK irriway7 plugs.

I think thats it.

I would like a turbo that doesnt lag any longer than 3,500 but still comes on boost hard. I plan to get new injectors and a z32 afm in the future but not for awhile. My car currently makes just over 200rwkw on the standard turbo, what turbo whould make a good replacment for me?

any advice would be great thanks.

try gcg turbos 0418645461 in canberra they do a high flow on yours whilst there at it, it gets new roller bearings new steel exhuast wheel so big boost is possible(ceramic wheel wont shatter)and apparently will do just as good as 2530 and costs bugger all in comparision

you wont need a fuel pressure reg if you are doing injectors.

probably better off with a 2535 or 2835 than 2530, as it will make the power a bit easier.

$1550 is a bargain for a second hand HKS turbo, even if it needs rebuilding it will be a better price than new. you can also sell your stock turbo. It will be a good idea to upgrade the pipe from AFM to turbo to, so anther $150-200 there, then similar may be needed for turbo to cooler. Oil and water lines, $300 or thereabouts. Injectors around 1K. AFM around $350 with a plug.

be ready to pay around 5-600 for a full remap with the injectors too.

good luck

I have started to think that if I am going to spend around $4000 on a 2535 setup then I may as well save up a bit more and go for something like a GT3035 or something alike...

Does anybody out there have a setup like this? & what are your experiences with it, eg power, boost, spool up time and so on & what price range would I be looking at for this?

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
