2540 rated at aprox 340ps at 1bar i think

2835 rated at aprox 360ps at 1bar

I think steve said the hks turbs are all measured at 1 bar. So u could wind more boost into the car easily. Also search the forums, think someone a while ago had a huge post about his 250rwkw r32 with rb20.

theres a few shops around here that sell good second hand turbos. Speak to someone like D1garage. they will give u good advice on what is best for u. then if u want they can source a turbo for u. other then that, look on ebay, these forums, and other shops in adelaide, like hikari performance, city jap parts have cheap turbos all the time.

I have seen a 2530 on RB20 make 230 at 1.2bar with 8200rpm redline. It was James (D1 Garage) cefiro, and it went bloody hard - you are looking at an easy 12 second car with that sort of power. Jut be aware that your gearbox may not like it too much, so make sure your tyres arent too sticky:)

With a 2530 you will get a big fat midrange and will come on boost early (ish). 2835 on grepins car is making 274 at 1.3bar, but will have alot more lag than a 2530.

It depends on your driving style. If you dont mind a bit of lag, go a 2835 (or even a T518Z) - if you want something with more down low, go a 2530. anther one to consider is the 2535, but once again it will have more lag than a 2530.

Having 8.5:1 CR, you can run 1.5+bar all day with a good tune and be very safe - so no probs there.

D1 Garage sell a new HKS2530 with ALL the bits (oil line fittings, water line fitting, snout for outlet, actuator (I think), etc, etc) for $3K. Second hand you may be able to save around 1K or a bit more, but for peace of mind, and so you dont end up having to buy more and more bits to make it fit - the new kit is pretty good value for money IMHO.

Give them a call, or better still drop in and see them - James lived in Japan for 4 years, has heaps of connections over there, has seen alot of different setups, and I am sure he will be able to help find the right turbo for what you are after. He has saved me a fortune, as I originally met him looking for an RB25DE head for a 3L conversion. After chatting to me, he talked me out of it, as he assured me I didnt need to go that path for what I was after. Tell 'em I sent you too, more discounts for me later:p.

thanx enrico and steve

you have both been a huge help

but seeing my car is still pretty much stock i guess i should get a few other things first

like fmic, oil catch and cooler, boost gauge and controller, dump pipe. you know

all the basic stuff i was also thinking maby one of those sub zero plenums

and i guess if the rb20 blows in the feuture i can always do the

rb25 thing then

thanx again guys and i might see yas on the next cruse :boobies2:

i went into D1 garage and they had a greddy boost gauge (second hand) for $120. also a mate of mine bought the same gauge (same model gauge not the actual one) off them a few months before for $120. So i went back to buy it for $120 and they jacked up the price to $150 and wouldnt budge (yes it is the exact same one), even know the had it on the net still saying $120. i had $150 but thats not the point so i didnt buy it, this sh!ts me abit.

    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
