well it WILL bolt on to your manifold, but i wouldnt rec. fitting that tubo in the factory location if you can get it 2 fit with all the intercooler piping & crap

Besides the GT30 would not like it 2 sit in that factory position & the pipe for the external waste gate.

I wanted to do the GT30 conversion but it would be way to expensive (im modding my car for road usage not drag/track usage)

GT30 = $2500+

Manifold = $1400+

Waste Gate = $600+

Labour = quite abit since you gotta move things around & crap

+ you will HAVE to get new injectors, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator & then the retuning on the power fc, all addsup

if you want to make 230rwkw or so its a waste of money 2 do that type of conversion & that turbo is rated 500HP+

there is a smaller internal waste gated version avabliable according to gcg but i'm not to sure wether they fit properly.

and you cna get them trimed right down I was very close to getting one a few months ago you can also do it using the rb25 turbo's exhaust flange which makes it easier but that is not ideal .

I would go for the rb25 turbo rebuild with roller bearing center etc good for450 hp or the vg30 hiflow. if you want ease of fitment.

meggala

Thanks for the info guys.. I've been talking to my mechanic over here and there really isn't a straight bolt on option unless you:

a)rebuild / hiflow the standard turbo, or

B) go japanese namebrand...

Now, I'm told that it would cost around the $2,200 mark to do the rebuild, and I can source a HKS 2530 band new for just under $2,600. Now I'm told the 2530 will bolt straight on to the RB25 with no changes to manifold etc. I would also think the HKS would be a full ball bearing turbo and could handle more power???

Any thoughts???

Cheers

Brett

A31,

Not sure where I'm getting it from yet, but have a price from Nengun for the 2530.. So two questions for ya:

1. does the 2535 bolt straight on to the RB25det and is it internally wastegated,

and

2. if the 2535 is full ballbearing is the 2530 not????

Cheers dude,

Brett

Both are ballbearing. The GT series are all ballbearing. The GT25's may require an adaptor if they have a different flange bolt pattern. As long as they have a T3 flange style they will fit pretty easy.

The turbo killer T and Chris have cost about $1500 and is bolt on. It's not a ballbearing style tho' but with only 1bar gives a nice 300+ rwhp (over 200rwkw).

Yeah as Rev210 said on the turbos...

HKS sell the turbos with a T25 style flange and a T3 style flange. From what I know the T25 flange fits the SR20DET and RB26DETT manifolds. The T3 flange fits the RB20DEt and RB25DET....

Please correct me if I'm wrong here...

What type of Turbo does Killer T have?

It's a hybrid rebuild of the stock unit. Uses Rx7 hitachi bits, Brett from PSI fixed him up from memory.

GT 2530 will fit directly into the rb20/25 manifold & will sit in that location happily, but damn aint the 2530 small

i think it will take u to like 230rwkw or so IF THAT!has any1 fitted one on their rb20/25 with a really good result.

i wouldnt spend $1.5k+ on it & only make that amount., i would say its more like a rb25det turbo on a rb20 with just earlier response and bit more midrange torque

why spend $1.5k on it when u can spend $500 and bolt it up lol

i could be wrong

i would rather wait around for a IHI or a TD06 turbo or something like that.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
