G'day guys

Just wondering if anyone here has a HKS2540 on a RB25DET? I'm thinking of upgrading my turbo and after reading some feedbacks about HKS2540 on the forums it seems that its not a ideal turbo to go with. Can anyone with this setup shoot me with some feedback. Example: is it really laggy and full boost at ****rpm? and etc....

Ive got the 2530 which is rated 30hp less than the 2540. Im very happy with the midrange punch it has at 18psi. Its enough to spin the wheels on a rolling road in second gear every time. However, turn the boost down to 16psi and it doesnt do it. Boost does drop top end though, but im more than happy with the midrange punch with this thing. I will have some 1/4 mile numbers soon

I wouldnt mind trying the 2540 to compare

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
