Hi bazr33, I have yet to find an aftermarket turbo that bolts up, I have had to fabricate/buy stuff every time. That's why I use lots of the GCG ball bearing hi flow R33 GTST/R34 GTT turbos, now they bolt straight on, no mods or stuff to make or buy. I strongly suggest you do a search, there is plenty of info:cheers:

HKS 25** series do bolt straight on with a T3 flange.  Although you will be up for new oil and water lines which im scrambling up at the moment

Do those turbos bolt back up to the stock dump pipe as well?Or is it only the oil and water lines that dont line up.

its pointless statement really .. i have a high flow dump pipe, and its exactly teh same bolt pattern as the standard dump pipe, so high flow dump, or standard it makes no difference .. it;ll bolt straight on ....

no meaning to flame here, but just pointing out they are the same ..

personally i'm going down the router of a GCG high flow. ... as soon as I have time to get over there and pick one up that is ...

Isnt that a bit of a waste though? if you have a HKS GT25 turbo and still use the standard dump pipe? how much power do you lose?

What about the inlet piping and compressor outlet piping? how do they bolt up?

Yes will be a waste, certainly that will be your restricting point.

Inlet piping is the same, outlet piping is slightly different, you have to get a 90 degree turn, I got the HKS one, its alot better flowing than the stocker.

I would be going the HKS 2540. If you get the kit it comes with everything needed to bolt including the coolant lines. My mates r33 gts-t has run a 12.3 with one of these turbo's on a dead stock motor.

Nice time, it all depends on the driver, someone on here has done a 12.5 with a 2530, your mate has done a 12.3 with a 2540 which is awesome, but then i know someone has done a 13.4 with a 2535. And then ive done a 12.9 with a stocker.

Well it shows the true potential of each, certainly the 2535 has more left in it.

About the 90deg return piping, is there a way to stick with the stock one? or do we need to fabricate a new one?

Oh and does anyone know what kind of restriction in terms of power the stock dump pipe is?

You could possibly just buy a 90 degree hose instead.

Off topic, question for the people with 12.3, 12.5 and 12.9[stock]...

Do any of you beat gtir's? I'm not talking about a rolling run, I mean at traffic lights(provided its safe)?

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • 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
    • 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.
