i hope so! i think it all bolts up.  Kit comes with its own dump and all the lines. I think the one thing ill need is a new intake pipe as the compressor inlet mouth looks big, but im fairly sure its a blot on kit.

can someone with ~280rwkw comment on drivability? are these cars still fast at speeds below 100 or is it just wheelspin city?

While i love power, it makes you slower if you cant get it down!

Its very rare that on normal roads you open the car out to 7000rpm in every gear.

With the price of petrol these days i much prefer driving my gfriends car around day to day

300kw's is my power goal eventually also. Sounds like an awesome whack of power.,. As for bolt on turbo i have witnessed some TD06's on rb25's and they go well. IO have been in a r33 which had a HKS 3037s and microtech and cams etc and it made 350hp at wheels on 1 bar. Was rather quick but very wheelspiny. guess its personal choice on turbos.

Would it be a better idea if i was to say put garret gt2535 on my car rb25det,with usual mods,with a different size ar.Here is a reply that i got from horsepower in a box.com

I can do the GT2535 in the T3 flange internal gated for $1750, but not the

GT2530.

We also do a 500hp core unit with a .70 comp cover for the RB25 as a bolt on

Internal gate for $2150.

Regards

Is this option a good one for this turbo and motor with stock internals looking at running cams?What sort of spooling rpm time could i expect it to come onto boost from the upgraded version?

:)

For me i feel 250RWKW is perfect for the street/circuit. Only problem is finding a turbo that will hit full boost at a low rpm(say 3500-4000) and make that amount of power as well, Because we all know bigger turbos=big power=lots of lag. I think to achieve 250RWKW with a little lag(compared with stock) you'd need cams, ported head and port matched inlet and exhaust ports. All these help reduce the lag and up the power too. In my opinion ball bearing and being water and oil cooled is a must for the longterm, plus the ball bearing aspect helps in cutting lag.

:D

Only probelm with these type of turbos is that you will always have boost control problems and sureg problems when trying to pump out alot of hp from a internal gated turbo!!

is the reason being that in order to control boost pressure on a big turbo, an internal gate wont allow enough gas out to make the boost change needed?

From Grepins Thread, posted by SK regarding the GT2835proS

Hi grepin, I like it, it has....

270 rwkw at 7,300 rpm

277 rwkw at 6,300 rpm

246 rwkw at 5,300 rpm

210 rwkw at 4,300 rpm

That's an average of 251 rwkw over the useable rpm allowing for gearchanges. There are plenty of cars with over 300 rwkw that don't average 251 rwkw.

I think it would be a nice car to drive, fast and progressive.

BTW guys, notice this dyno run was not in Shoot Out Mode, so no ambient air temperature compensation. If it was a 31 degree day, then on a 19 degree day it's gunna make a smidge over 300 rwkw with an average around 270 rwkw.

Wanna guess what the A/F ratios would be then? In my opinion Mick has done a good job, looks to be both safe and powerful, you don't see that everyday.

As I said at the start, I like it!

trust33, bear in mind that Garret GT25 series are not the same as HKS GT25 series. for example to duplicate the ~250rwkw from a HKS GT2535 int gate youd need a Garret GT3040 int gate.

All because of the different compressor and turbine blade designs?

I have read that on sdu forums by mariogtr that whatever turbo i use the hks will allways flow closer to its full potential than a garret equivilent.He says somewere in the vicinity of 20hp is what you should take off of a garret turbos rating and it would give a better indication of what this turbo will pull.

Also being that all of these turbos are rated at stock boost 10psi or so.So there will be room for more power.

I say,now being that a stock rb25det turbo is rated at 250ps and has smaller .ar housings and includes ceramic bladed turbine,non ball bearing turbo and being able to see the power they can produce when pushed,that a garret or hks turbo with a better ps output to start will surely make arround 380-400 ps of what i am after.The only difference being that HKS will make it there easier.

If going an underrated turbo what are my chances of being able to elliminate/minimise lag and be able to come onto boost by 3500-3800 and still be able to make the desired 380-400hp/ps output int gate and run minimal boost?

Hks would be good but to be able to afford a brand new one i would have to buy from os.Have you seen hks-T au prices!meh..

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
