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.

and just to add to discussion, one of the r32s with a 2510 made 200rwkws on the sau dyno day, so a 2530 is only rated a little higher, so it most prolly would fall short. Sly33 just made around 220-230rwkws with a 2530 on his rb25 r33.

thanx man

[EnricoPalazzo]

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:

[Steve]

good idea, make sure you do the fuel pump too, and save your money on the plenum as it doesnt really need one - unless you want it for asthetic reasons.

[skidmark]

ok on the fule pump

and yep on the plenum tat will save me about 1k

[skidmark]

where can i find a good after market panel filter like HKS for my line in adelaide

[Steve]

D1 garage can get any part you want.

[VIPERGTSR01]

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.

[skidmark]

i just baught an auto gauge boost gauge off ebay are they any good

only paid $40 for it so o dont realy care ill be getting some boost next week

I cant wait im sick of standard boost but i dont want to boost to high because of

a dodgy boost gauge

[VIPERGTSR01]

i am also sick of standard boost, i was thinking of getting a auto meter or auto gauge but i want a gauge that reads in Bar.

[skidmark]

check them out on ebay they have auto gauge boost gauges on ebay

that read in bar for $35 i think

[VIPERGTSR01]

really might have to check that out

[Nightcrawler]

I have auto meter gauges and they work perfectly - oil temp and boost readings are spot on.

[skidmark]

theres one on there right now for $1 with carben fiber face

cool thanx andrew that gives me pice of minde

[VIPERGTSR01]

the mate of mine that bought the greddy gauge had a auto meter first and said it was off abit (when the engine was off the needle didnt go right back to 0)

[Nightcrawler]

no worries mate .... yeah mine don't go back to 0 perfectly either (no auto meter ones do) but the readings when they are on are good.
