I'll be getting my car within the next few weeks. its got an rb24det with hks ecu, kkk k27 turbo, trust gate and manifold, rb26 style plenum, injectors, etc etc.

i have been thinking the k27 turbo will be too big, anyone had experiance with one of these on an rb20/25?

anyways i was thinking i'd down grade it and chuck on something abit more responsive. what sort of turbo choice would i be looking at if i still wanted to make approx. 240-250rwkw? can a 2530 make this sort of power? what about a 2835? t517z? etc.

i think the biggest concern will be finding somebody who can tune the HKS ecu (fcon?). You probably are best going for another ECU that can be tuned readily by a local workshop.

kkk turbos meant to be alright... quite popular in japan.. give it a try first!

2835 would be sweet, if you want to ditch the manifold you could go an internally gated GT-RS turbo. you will make easy 240rwkw with that. im looking into getting one of these for my internally stock RB20, and it makes over 220rwkw with the 2530. im hoping the GTRS will bring it up closer to 250rwkw.

the GTRS is still in HKS 25 series of turbos, is rated at 400ps like the 2835, but is said to respond more like a 2530. from all the articles i have been reading it is a very impressive package. only problem is they only just released it in T3 form (a bolt on for RB20/25 manifold) so it looks like the only way to get one is brand new... not many second hand bargains about.

as denzo would say dont be weak

yea mabye ur right, but i really hate laggy turbos :headspin:

but i'm definately going to change ecu, unless the HKS one runs awsome once i've put it all back on (i'll have to remove it all for a week or two for the rego inspection, so hopefully it doesnt loose its maps?)

what about getting another manifold and a second hand t28 gt-rs? probably budget 2.5k for a turbo swap as i'll sell the k27, manifold and gate.

so a new hks turbo is totally out of the question!

forum member Grepin has a 2835ProsS internal gate turbo on his RB25. It makes around 265rkwk at 1.2 bar of boost

I have been in his car, and it is very responsive and not much laggier than a stock turbo

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
