Hks2510s are the same as the motive hybrids. Note the hybrids are -7 turbines with -5 wheels, so it won't be making -5 level power.

I know of people very happy with their 2510s though

GT-SS or -9s seem to be a proven path, I'll just stick with that.

Yeh probably limited on 98.

Stock motor power limit? how long is a piece of string.

Generally over 20psi put arp studs in.

That's around what GT-SS/-9s will need on 98 to make 330 I think.

Might just bang them in and maybe get the timing covers freshened up and put some cam gears on it at the same time.

Hopefully not too soon as I won't be tracking it (or rarely if I do and carefully). It's just a weekender at most.

Comp was good, k's seem genuine and it's not making big power so hopefully it doesn't shit the bed straight up.

You won't need to touch anything internally in the engine till above 350kw at the wheels as long as it healthy and tuned properly. After 350 throw some head studs in it and keep pushing, a guy in WA has 500kw+ on a standard bottom end

A handful have claimed 380kw @25 psi.

I think 25psi would be the absolute max for them.

Yeah, claimed. And then failed to run the MPH at the drags (as in, not even close to 350rwkw). I don't think there is one "350rwkw+" -9 equipped GTR that's actually come remotely close to backing up it's roller number at the strip yet, even after all these years.

The problem with -7s and -9s is they simply do not respond to E85 well. Why you ask? Because they run out of air flow up top so you don't actually run out on 98 like you do with say a set of -5s because the boost is dropping off in the upper RPM - and when that is happening, you ain't gonna make much extra.

You get such good gains from -5s because you can run MORE boost than you can on 98 - they don't run outta flow on 98 as you get to around 20-22psi and for most motor builds are tapping out. E85 and 25psi and off you go and this is where you get the extra gains from in the top end and also the midrange due to so much extra air.

This is what -9s/-7s are a great street turbo on PULP. You will get some mid range on -9/-7 from E85, but it's just not going to give the kick/gains you get on -5s.

The GT-R I drove in QLD with -5's didn't excite me, but to be fair only dyno'd at less than 310kw for some reason (Haltech/pump fuel)

For this car, I'm willing to sacrifice top end for midrange and response.

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
