Or not. Anyway it will be interesting.

I hope your running e85.

There's an entire section dedicated to rb2530 conversions.

Pretty much all are turbo so it's easy to see by the pics where the oil feed and drain goes. There's even a pdf on how to do the conversion.

You could run low boost. Really low. Like less than 5 psi. With good intercooling and a large rear side on the turbo (to reduce exhaust backpressure) you could probably do even more than that on 98, but no-one around has much experience with running high static comp and much boost. So the limit will not be well known. On E85 you could well be able to run quite decent boost.

A large exhaust side on the turbo will dull response a little, but it's already a high comp twin cam 3L, so it shouldn't be too bad off boost. And the tradeoff when it starts making power will be well worth it.

If it were me - I wouldn't be using the standard log manifold. I'd be trying to make a decent manifold with nice anti-reversion steps at the head face and 6Boost style merge collector to try to keep the exhaust flow as clean as possible. Big fat dump pipe and cat to get the backpressure as low as possible.

definitely listen to gts boy.

big turbo, big rear housing on said turbo, low boost, aftermarket manifold, external gate 50mm minimum. 3.5" dump pipe minimum

with compression around the 12s i wouldnt go smaller than a GT35 size and on 98 fuel I'd be more inclined to use a 1.06 ar turbine housing

I dont know why they would say it would be fine to run low boost if it would damage something, although i am a bit scared to do it and it all end in tears.....

it's fine.. all comes down to tuning, fuel type and cooling hardware

Honda boys have been turbo charging their motors since forever.

I purchased a std rb25 turbo today and standard manifold. i wanted to get it running and upgrade it later, ill get a custom dump made up because the standard one wont fit anyway for my car im going to rebuild the turbo too since its not running at the moment. im not looking for major boost or power just something to give it an extra kick. i was intending to race the car but now have changed it. just want it a good weekend cruiser. 200rwkw is enough and its making around 160rwkw in n/a form now im sure 4-6psi on 98 will be over that mark. ill keep you guys posted how i go and what i decide to do though.

Thats the thing, this thing is a pig ! unless you are over 4000rpm it has nothing at all. its a weird setup it needs to be revved to keep the thing going.

And just how are you getting 160rwkW from a 25/30? The 2JZ is an eminently better twin cam 3L than the dirty 30 ever was, and they are doing well when they are making >140rwkW NA. I'd need to see massive cams, special exhaust and inlet stuff on your engine to go close to believing it.

It really depends on the chamber, and how many hot spots there are for detonation to occur. The VQ35 is a pretty good modern design and still had issues, mainly as the rods couldn't take it.

The 12:1 comp FT86 engine can handle plenty of boost as the direct injectors don't spray fuel until after top dead centre, No fuel, no det.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
