the turbos sounds good to me. Im not an expert or anything but I would be sure to ask them about the results of the turbo on a rb20. Maybe the can send u dyno sheets, and even pics of the cars.

as long as i have been researching I seen the hks 2530,2535 or a lil laggier 2540 and 2835 are most suitable for skylines.

Im hoping to get a 2835 in the future.

:cheers:

let me know how you go

take it easy

My thoughts are you could most likely do better. I have a Trust turbo so this applies to me as well, but the turbo isnt water cooled- so run an oil cooler, and isnt ball bearing-but it does have 360deg thrustplate.

And going on those specs i dont think it will make 500hp, how much hp are you chasing?

Did you read Roy's post?

hi i am not looking for major performance say like 300-350 hp,i ahve an apexi exhaust(due to be changed for a hks single box exhaust)a hks air filter and bov,and a mines ecu..the turbo is standard and can only seem to boost to 0.5,i have put a bleed valve on aswell to see if i can get to go higher on the boost,but seems the more you open it the same it stays...and i have checked and double checked everything so i have jsu put it down to a dudd turbo....

I doubt that it's a dud turbo ... more like a dud bleed valve. Or you have put the bleed valve in the wrong way round. If the turbo was dud it probably wouldn't make any boost at all :D

That turbo you put a link to should be able to make what you're looking for on an RB20

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
