Well the start of figuring out why my car runs like shit begun last week, The turbo is on its way out - the impeller is loosened up and starting to rub on the houseing and its only a matter of time before it breaks and sends blades through my engine...

So a new computer and turbo is in order - I have done alot of reading about just getting the rb25 one hi flowed and rebuild but this seems to cost between $1500 and $2000, might as well just buy a brand new turbo.

Im not trying to get rediculous high end power I'd rather low end the car being a drift car. What can anyone recommend?

The GT2530 seems like a reasonable option good price and about the power output I want anyone put one on an Rb25?

I have been searchin the forums reading all sorts of mixed results, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Oh and great news about getting your car back Nic!

I thought non-bb turbo rebuilds were under $1k and 2530s were more than $2k ?

Sucks about the turbz :

Depends on how bad the turbo is to start with and what gets done to it. My mates CT26 cost like $2500 for highflow and rebuild, exxy experience, but worth it.

a 2nd hand HKS 2530 should cost you between 1400-1800. They will be good for about 230rwkw, but the response will be fantastic on the 25.

You will probably find it will come down to what you can actually find. Bolt-on upgrades for RB's don't come up for good prices that often, and are usually snapped up pretty quick

G'day mate

I recently saw on Nengun.com that they have a kit which includes the HKS GT RS turbo along with four injectors, power fc and controller and GT RS kit for the RB25DET brand new for about $4800 delivered. Quite a fair whack of cash but you are getting avery good package at a very competitive price, Im trying to put the cash together myself as we speak. :headspin:

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
