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.

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
