Ok, i want to upgrade my standard turbo on my 32 gts-t. I've been thinking a 2nd hand GT2530 (any other suggestions). I don't want to spend over 2k.

I have a fmic, 3" zorst, pod, bov. Fuel pump, SAFC and fuel regulator on the way. Anyone recommend anything else i might need for the turbo upgrade before i wind up the boost?

Do i need to do injectors?

ecu i would say, get rid of the stock fuel and boost cuts etc..

i think you can run upto 1.3bar (not 100% sure) on the 2530 and your afm may max out at this level of boost too (unsure). if thats the case and you go for an ecu then you could get a z32 afm to work around the 5v max out of the air flow meter. whats your clutch like? :)

Yeah good thinking, the afm will need to be changed, thus i may as well not waste my time with an SAFC and just bite the ECU bullet. Power FC or Wolf guys?

The clutch is being worked on. Killing the stock clutch first. I've made this car a 7 month plan, ready for Christmas holidays.

How much hp can the stock rb20det injectors handle safely?

well the 33 turbo makes 190rwkw at 14psi, and another person has just made 200rwkw with the 2530 at 17psi...i'd go for something larger than the 2530 the gains dont seem to be all that good. having had 190rwkw it gets boring rather quickly

If budget is strictly 2k, then i would be looking at getting your turbo high flowed. It will bolt straight back on, use al the same piping and lines, and only additional cost will be radiator of coolant, 4L of oil and two new gaskets....that it, not another dollar to spend.

Be wary of buying a 2nd hand 2530, as there are a few little parts that need changing which all add to the cost (water/oil lines, inlet pipes), plus its a 2nd hand turbo and could have dramas which with a strict 2k budget means you have a nice souvenir but nothing to bolt onto your engine

Wise advice Roy, but i think im just going to have to take the chance and trust the supplier of the turbo. How much does high-flowing the standard turbo cost?

If someone could enlighten me on the high-flowing process of the standard RB20DET Turbo, that would be great.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
