HKS2535 on RB25DET results...round 1

Many people have asked what power i'm getting from my new HKS 2535 which I bought a few months ago so I thought I'd share the results.

Best run = 339RWHP @ 1.12 bar

Consistent = 312RWHP @ 1 bar

Power seems about right for the turbo. However, it wouldn't be my car if it didn't have a problem and in this case, it's a great big dirty hole in my power band which seems my power drop from 280ish back to 200 then shoot back up to peak, all between 5500 and 7000 rpm. It's totally weird.

If anyone has any insights as to how to allivate this hole, please, please tell me. At the moment, we are thinking it may have something to do with the Z32 AFM not talking with my S-AFCII correctly :confused:

Stay tuned for hopefully better results to come.

Cheers!

Sorry, no dyno graph

Hows response compared to stock, id imagine not too much of a drastic change, it looks like you should be making some good power, and right across the range too.

I'd have to agree with Joel, rather than just running an S-AFC, why not hook up a PFC? It may give you better insight into your problem and would probably make it easier to fix.

rbs13: Yeah, the maximum of 339HP would equate to 250rwkw :D

Denton33: Stock actuator that came with standard turbo

bOneR: Yeah, response is very similar to stock, only a few rpm higher with good power early on. Unfortuately graph doesn't show RPM but it was at 216hp by 104km/h in 4th. $$ prohibit the PFC at the moment however, that will more than likely be the end case for my car - just a matter of when.

as the safc still retains the stock computer i would believe that it would be pulling shitloads of timing, even thou u r using a z32 afm, which would cause ur huge power dip. Its unfortunate, but the stock ecu still has the final say. I am having the same problems as ur are now.

Like everyone else says, get a full ecu like a pfc.

Yeah i also have an SAFC II and i have heard so many ppl with problems when changing to a Z32 AFM. that is your problem there. either go back to standard or go PFC. I dont think the SAFC really has the best ability to control a different AFM reading and convert it to the std ECU.

Enrico - Yeah, i figured as much...bloody stock ECU.

bbeny - I've just re-installed my stock AFM and haven't had a problem with boost cut yet so i'll see how I go when I put it back on the dyno

snake - Glad I could help :P

franks - stock injectors, but upgraded fuel pressure regulator but i'm unsure of the pressure. Clutch is an 9 puck jobbie with 2200lb pressure plate. Xtreme I think it is - same as what Adelaide Clutch Services produce.

sounds like an ecu based ignition/NVCS issue. The 5000rpm point is where the NVCS knocks off for the day.

Try backing the base timing off 5-8 degrees and try unplugging the NVCS, see if you get the same issue, takes 5min to do in the driveway.

yeah, it's a bit louder and a bit deeper :rofl: but not noticably, well, until you put the boot into it (and boost!) and then she really wails. However, the noise of the pod and turbo spoolin is loud enough to drain out the noise from inside the cabin at least. My car is VERY quiet though compared to a lot of them.

yeh franks, 2530 usually good for 230-240rwkws.

i dont think so, due to the fact that as mentioned a 2530 on an rb25 wont hold boost up top, i have tried every avenue to fix this on mine, 227rwkw was the max we saw with no cat. for over 230rwkw id say youd have to go for the next step up, the 2535.

exhaust housing on 2530 too small for 2.5 litres and spins out of efficiency over 5grand. There has been a lot of talk about a 2530 being good for up to 250rwkw, but this is not so. ideally it is suited to the rb20 where exh gas flow is not so high.

excellent result for the 2535! this is what i should have started out with. 2530 is extremely punchy, but the inability to hold boost makes a flat-feeling top end.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
