I just bought my car and found out with alot of research that i have this turbo in my r32 gtst skyline. my only mods when i bought the car there was a fuel regulator, 3 inch exhaust and dump pipe and and pod filter...its boosted to 15psi at the moment. Just wondering what power gains should i be reaching with this sort of turbo. Is it rated better than the HKS GT2530? i was thinking it is as its bigger. but the 2530 is smaller so it will have better low and mid range response?

power gains arent great unless u have the back up items to match. Sure its a bonus that u have this "Larger" turbo but without a front mount cooler i wouldbe winding boost down to 12-13psi, i made that mistake and im rebuilding my engine, do urself a favour, before going insearch of power, go insearch of back up systems to suit(ie computer, fuel pump etc)

Is this a better turbo than the hks GT2530? coz yeah i dont have a front mount , but i have a remapped ecu, im pretty sure i dont have a bigger fuel pump...do u guys think this is the reason why my car seems even slower and has alot of lag? coz i dont have the power system to back up this turbo?

If your car does indeed have this turbo, I suggest following the recommendations of people already and fitting a front mount asap. You should also be addressing your fuel supply issues and fitting a higher flowing fuel pump and looking at some larger injectors.

If you get these areas sorted, you should end up with a fairly tidy package

Take your car to a reputable workshop and have it checked. If I was you I wouldnt be so focused on how much power this turbo of yours might make.

I'd be confirming once and for all what you are running and checking that everything is in good order before you run into trouble.

Aybee he would get much more than that in my oppinion. The 2835 is larger and flows mopre than the 2530 and 2530 can get 200rwkw easily... My mate has his 2530 making 210rwkw @ 17psi. Should make around 230 or so?? How do these go on a RB25?

what?

so are you saying that it should make much more than 250rwkw? or around 230. cause i said that it would be good for "mid 200's" meaning around 240-260rwkw.

But thats whay ive always thought my car would be good for and its slightly more powerful than the std 2835 (420ps compared to 380ps)

Ok i have been waiting for a 2535 for a month now... not sure whats going on but aparently HKS have them on back order and cant give a definate eta. Does anyone know how the 2835 will stack up compared to the 2535? i may go bigger... is it laggy? will i need cams? ANYONE PLEASE! ps its for a RB25DET

HKS GT2535 - 340 PS Output

COMPRESSOR:

-Wheel- 56 Trim - 51.6 Inducer / 69.0 Major

-Housing- 60 Inlet / 50 Outlet - 0.60 A/R

TURBINE:

-Wheel- 76 Trim - 53.8 Major / 47.0 Exducer

-Housing- GT25/T3 inlets / Outlet specs:

Internal GT25 outlet; 0.64, 0.86 A/R

Skyline Type; 0.64 A/R

HKS GT2835 Pro S - 420 PS Output

COMPRESSOR:

-Wheel- 56 Trim - 53.1 Inducer / 71.1 Major

-Housing- 100 Inlet / 50 Outlet - 0.50 A/R

TURBINE:

-Wheel- 84 Trim - 56.5 Major / 51.8 Exducer

-Housing- T3 inlet / Outlet spec:

Internal GT-Pro; 0.68, 0.87 A/R

I'm going out on a limb here - but my guess would be that the 2835 will be laggier. (80PS Difference)

    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
    • A full Veilside kitted JZA80 Supra in Meriken park in Kobe city a few weeks back
    • Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm. 
    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
