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)

    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version.
